PB5.20B15 Dialog with menu or toolbar layouting wrong

Hi,
if i create a dialog and add a menu or toolbar afterwards, the layout engine does not take menu height and toolbar height into account.
Here is an example:
Code: Select all
#Dialog = 0
#Xml = 0
XML$ +
"<window id='0' width='200' height='200' name='test' text='Test' flags='#PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu'>" +
" <button text='Click'/>" +
"</window>"
If CatchXML(#Xml, @XML$, StringByteLength(XML$)) And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
If CreateDialog(#Dialog) And OpenXMLDialog(#Dialog, #Xml, "test")
CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
MenuTitle("File")
CreateToolBar(0, WindowID(0))
ToolBarStandardButton(0, #PB_ToolBarIcon_New)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Else
Debug "Dialog error: " + DialogError(#Dialog)
EndIf
Else
Debug "XML error: " + XMLError(#Xml) + " (Line: " + XMLErrorLine(#Xml) + ")"
EndIf
This makes it impossible to use the great layouting features in applications main window with menu and tool bar
Best regards
Uwe

Maybe better if the Dialog would support menu and toolbar creation , e.g. like this:
Code: Select all
<menu>
<menutitle text='File' />
<menuitem text='Open...' onevent='OnFileOpen()' shortcut='Ctrl+O' icon='0' />
<menubar>
...
</menu>
Best regards
Uwe

This a real show-stopper. Just tried to use status bar with an XML dialog. Shame they don't work with each other.

Currently, I use an empty text element in a vbox, however this is only a workaround and may cause different problems depending on the menu height.
Of course it would be
much better, if the internal layout calculation would take only the "inner size" into account, not depending on space that is occupied by menu or something else that messes up the layout.
My current workaround, that works at least with the menu-height in Windows 10 (all standard):
Code: Select all
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Unicode
#XmlEncoding = #PB_UTF8
CompilerElse
#XmlEncoding = #PB_Ascii
CompilerEndIf
#Dialog = 0
#Xml = 0
XML$ = ~"<window id='#PB_Any' name='main' text='Menubar Test' minwidth='400' minheight='200' flags='#PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget'>\n" +
" <vbox expand='item:2'>\n" +
" <text text='Some Content'></text>\n"+
" <button text='Some Button'></button>\n" +
" <text text=' '></text>" + ; menu placeholder
" </vbox>\n" +
"</window>"
If CatchXML(#Xml, @XML$, StringByteLength(XML$), 0, #XmlEncoding) And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
If CreateDialog(#Dialog) And OpenXMLDialog(#Dialog, #Xml, "main")
CreateMenu(0, WindowID(DialogWindow(#dialog)))
MenuTitle("Test")
MenuItem(1, "1")
MenuItem(2, "2")
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Else
Debug "Dialog error: " + DialogError(#Dialog)
EndIf
Else
Debug "XML error: " + XMLError(#Xml) + " (Line: " + XMLErrorLine(#Xml) + ")"
EndIf
