Client width and height

wombats · Post by **wombats** » Sat Dec 08, 2012 4:54 am

Could we please have functions to retrieve the client/inner width and height of gadgets and windows? This would be useful, for example, when using a container. We could easily size gadgets inside the container without having to worry about the border sizes, which can differ.

Maybe something like...

GadgetInnerWidth()
GadgetInnerHeight()
WindowInnerWidth()
WindowInnerHeight()

Thanks for considering this.

Code: Select all

Width = WindowWidth(#Window) : Height = WindowHeight(#Window)

On Windows OS, that is the Window Client Area (inner area, i.e. excluding border/Title Bar)

The PanelGaget and ScrollAreaGadget containers already allow retrieving the width and height of the client area. You have to use GetGadgetAttribute().
