Hi srod,

I ve used your great little lib for a long time, but now I ve got a little problem, and I m not sure, If I m doing something wrong.

The following code shows my problem, as you can see on the second panel, the resizing doesnt work.

Am I doing something wrong ?

regards

Amnesty

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "nxTools_Resize.pbi"

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 220, "PanelGadget", #PB_Window_SizeGadget    | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
  PanelGadget     (0, 8, 8, 306, 203)
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1, "Works fine!")
  ListViewGadget(1, 5, 5, 288, 163)
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1,"Hmmm....")
  ListViewGadget(2, 5, 5, 288, 163)
  CloseGadgetList()
  nxTools_SetResize(0, #nxResize_Anchorall)
  nxTools_SetResize(1, #nxResize_Anchorall)
  nxTools_SetResize(2, #nxResize_Anchorall)
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Ah yes, I see what is happening and I think I can guess why. Not sure I can do anything about it though.

Hang on.......

As soon as you issue the nxTools_SetResize() command, the library looks at the gadget in question and it's parent and records the sizes of the margins around the gadget etc.

The problem with your code is that the panel in the second tab has a zero width and height at the time you issue the nxTools_SetResize(2,...) command which causes the margins to go into 'meltdown'.

The fix is simple however. Force the tab to show briefly which causes PB to resize the inner panel which is the parent of the control in question - do this before using nxTools_SetResize().

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "nxTools.pbi"


If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 220, "PanelGadget", #PB_Window_SizeGadget    | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0)) 
  PanelGadget     (0, 8, 8, 306, 203) 
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1, "Works fine!") 
  ListViewGadget(1, 5, 5, 288, 163) 
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1,"Hmmm....") 
  ListViewGadget(2, 5, 5, 288, 163) 
  CloseGadgetList() 
 
  nxTools_SetResize(0, #nxResize_Anchorall) 
  nxTools_SetResize(1, #nxResize_Anchorall) 

  SetGadgetState(0,1)
  SetGadgetState(0,0)
  nxTools_SetResize(2, #nxResize_Anchorall) 
  Repeat
  Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf
