Summary
This PR adds support for explicit gadget IDs & explicit window IDs in the PureBasic Form Designer property field, using the syntax:
ID13310=13310orGadget1=1008(variable=explicit numeric ID)The generated code will keep the variable name as-is, while the enumeration constant gets the explicit assignment:
Motivation
Some projects require stable, predefined numeric IDs (e.g. compatibility with existing code, external bindings etc.). Until now, the Form Designer only supported automatic IDs (#PB_Any) or non-explicit enumeration constants, making it hard to keep IDs deterministic across edits/saves.
Behavior / Rules
The property field
variablemay containName=Numberto define an explicit mapping.Code generation outputs
#Name=Numberin Enumeration FormGadget / FormWindow.Gadget/window creation uses
#NameorNamefor Procedure Open...Backward compatible / non-breaking: If a property value contains no
=, the Form Designer behaves exactly as before (same parsing, same code generation).
