SplitterGadget co-ordinate problems.

Fangbeast · Post by **Fangbeast** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:49 am

Okay, I admit it!! I don't understand the splitter gadget co-ordinate system, they don't make sense to me. I also downloaded the latest gadget updates because I was having the refresh problem destroying windows under XP pro. With the code below, I get the gadgets laid out on screen how I want them (I got something right!!!) but the vertical splitter gadget seems to be taking over the screen when you hover the mouse anywhere to the right. The horizontal splitter is in the right position visibly but no working (sigh)

Code: Select all

#TV_FIRST             = $1100
#TVM_SETBKCOLOR       = #TV_FIRST + 29
#TVM_SETTEXTCOLOR     = #TV_FIRST + 30

#WindowIndex          = 0
#GadgetIndex          = 0

I agree, splitters aren't as easy to understand than other gadgets, but once you get it, it seems obvious. First you have to define your layout, so, how will react your app. A splitter can only have 2 childs, so you have to create severals if you want several splitters in splitters. In your case,
the ListIcon and the Web are the childs of other splitter (Tree + Splitter which contains the 2 gadgets). It results to the following examples which should be ok:

Code: Select all

#TV_FIRST             = $1100 
#TVM_SETBKCOLOR       = #TV_FIRST + 29 
#TVM_SETTEXTCOLOR     = #TV_FIRST + 30 

#WindowIndex          = 0 
#GadgetIndex          = 0 
#ImageIndex           = 0 
#StatusBarIndex       = 0 
#MenuBarIndex         = 0 

#Form                 = #WindowIndex    : #WindowIndex    = #WindowIndex    + 1 

#MenuBar              = #MenuBarIndex   : #MenuBarIndex   = #MenuBarIndex   + 1 

#Tree                 = #GadgetIndex    : #GadgetIndex    = #GadgetIndex    + 1 
#ListIcon             = #GadgetIndex    : #GadgetIndex    = #GadgetIndex    + 1 
#Web                  = #GadgetIndex    : #GadgetIndex    = #GadgetIndex    + 1 
#ComboBox8            = #GadgetIndex    : #GadgetIndex    = #GadgetIndex    + 1

#String               = #GadgetIndex    : #GadgetIndex    = #GadgetIndex    + 1

I know it works and I can see that but my head still hurts from figuring out why. Oh well, I think even I can follow this

:)

You nice clean example works just great. But If I use your example with a more complicated form like below, the horizontal bar doesn't appear (Except when I drag something) and the treegadget is grey (until I drag something) so something is eating the gadget draw for some reason.

Code: Select all

I can't compile this code.

Fangbeast · Post by **Fangbeast** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 11:33 am

Sorry, full program is 3,000 lines. I just thought someone might have an idea as I read somewhere about refresh problems with Splitter.

Can send it all to you if you want

and the treegadget was not grey and the horizontal splitter comes up instantly (or what do you meant as horizontal bar? the statusbar? no problem there too...under Win2ksp3)

I assume I didn't help much, sorry...

Essentially, you removed items that might be taking longer to draw than others...Perhaps I have to figure out if I need to flush events after each gadget.

With your example commenting out writing to the gadgets, commenting out the animation etc, the treegadget does come up properly.

Once i re-enable those items, the gadgets comes up grey and the horizontal splitter doesn't appear until you drag something

I might stick half a dozen event flushers in there to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for trying

It appears to be a problem with the gadget events form splitter not finishing fast enough (maybe) or eating the refresh/redraw from other gadgets.

if I put the code below (may as well call it FlushEvents()) IMMEDIATELY AFTER the splitter gadgets, all gadgets draw properly and show up.

Code: Select all

      While WindowEvent():Wend

I was experimenting with flushing various gadgets the same way during the windows creation and that was the only one that worked:)

Funnily enough, if the gadgets are blank (That is, having no items drawn in them) this problem never occurs. It's only populated gadgets (trees, lists, listicons etc) that have the blanking out.

Referring to my window above, this is the callback that resizes my form. My comboboxes, stringgadgets and splitter1 all resize properly.

Splitter 2 doesn't. Can anyone tell me what the correct resize parameters are for splitter 2 to resize properly with the form? (grovel grovel)

Code: Select all

Procedure ResizeCallback(WindowID, Message, wParam, lParam)

  Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents 
  
  If WindowID = WindowID(#Window_serialdebase)
    Select Message
      Case #WM_SIZE                                                     ; Form's size has changed.
        UseWindow(#Window_serialdebase)                                 ; Use the right window
        winwidth.l  = WindowWidth()                                     ; Get the new width of the window
        winheight.l = WindowHeight()                                    ; Get the new height of the window
        widthchange  = winwidth  - OriginalWidth                        ; Get the width difference
        heightchange = winheight - OriginalHeight                       ; Get the height difference 108,0,587,400

Anyone?

Post by **freak** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 3:38 pm

Hmm, I must have overlooked this... but here we go....

If you resize a splitter, don't resize the stuff inside, as this get's
automatically resized with the splitter. Also, I don't know, what it does to
the Splitter, if you resize a gadget inside it.

In your case, this means, that #Splitter2 doesn't need to be resized, as
it get's automatically resized, if the #Splitter1 is resized.

So what I chaged, is I removed the ResizeGadget for #Splitter2, and
changed the one for #Splitter1 a bit:

Code: Select all

ResizeGadget(#Splitter1,                        -1,                 -1,                700+ widthchange, 400 + heightchange)

(I changed -1 to 700+widthchange for the with parameter, so it fits the
new window width.)

I also added the following right after the OpenWindow command:

Code: Select all

  Global OriginalWidth.l, OriginalHeight.l
  OriginalWidth = WindowWidth()
  OriginalHeight = WindowHeight()

But I assume, you allready have that somewhere in your code (or not?

)

Anyway, your form resizes correctly here now.

Yes, I did have the global variables, I was just thinking backwards!! Strangely enough, this also fixed the refresh problem witht he gadgets when I load and query data. THat's a bonus.

Now I can figure out how to make some decent looking forms because mine are just plain boring

:)

Thanks heaps Timo

I know Fred :)

Yes, youa re right.

Problem solved!!

Resizing the splitter in a callback correctly?

anyone?

Damn, I was so close and didn't know it:):)
