MacOS "superview"

[mk-soft]

The gadgets have no superview if they are in a second item of a PanelGadget.

Maybe you forgot to set this internally when creating the gadgets?

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 220, "PanelGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  PanelGadget     (0, 8, 8, 306, 203)
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1, "Panel 1")
  PanelGadget (1, 5, 5, 290, 166)
  AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "Sub-Panel 1")
  AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "Sub-Panel 2")
  AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "Sub-Panel 3")
  CloseGadgetList()
  AddGadgetItem (0, -1,"Panel 2")
  ButtonGadget(2, 10, 15, 80, 24,"Button 1")
  ButtonGadget(3, 95, 15, 80, 24,"Button 2")
  CloseGadgetList()
  
  Debug "Panel = " + GadgetID(0)
  Debug "Panel 1 = " + GadgetID(1)
  Debug "Button 2 = " + GadgetID(2)
  
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(1), "superview")
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, sv, "superview")
  Debug "Parent from Panel 1 = " + sv
  
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(2), "superview")
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, sv, "superview")
  Debug "Parent from Gadget 2 = " + sv
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

I think is not a Bug...

PB
PanelGadget -> AddItems -> Gadgets

OSX
TabView -> TabViewItems -> View -> (gadgets)
Problem is that the "View" have not a method to parent object.

Perhaps anyone habe a solution for me...

Please move to Code questions...

I looked at it but unfortunately didn’t find an answer to the problem.

I looked at it but unfortunately didn’t find an answer to the problem.

I've searched several forums.
Here you can only use the forward approach to search all TabViewControllers until you have found the right one.

  ButtonGadget(3, 95, 15, 80, 24,"Button 2")

  Debug "Panel = " + GadgetID(0)
  Debug "Panel 1 = " + GadgetID(1)
  Debug "Button 2 = " + GadgetID(2)
  
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(1), "superview")
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, sv, "superview")
  Debug "Parent from Panel 1 = " + sv
  
  SetGadgetState(0, 1)
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(2), "superview")
  sv = CocoaMessage(0, sv, "superview")
  Debug "Parent from Gadget 2 = " + sv
  SetGadgetState(0, 0)
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

This is how it works.

However, this does not help if you are looking for the parent gadget for any gadget.
So we know that with the PanelGadget the active item only has a superview.

That's why in the forum for Objectiv-C you can only find the solution to find the right parent by searching all PanelGadgets forward.
