1. How to program a (nicely!) resizable TV window?
Hi Co-Euphorians,
I'm writing a proggy that shows a TV-window on the left and some other
information in a window on the right of it. I would like to make the TV-window
resizable, that is, I can grab it on the right border and pull it towards the
right; this way the TV-window is getting bigger and the other window smaller and
vice versa.
I looked for an example in the Win32lib and all I found was the "Enhanced IDE".
I see and I understand how it's been programmed, but I dislike the result: a
TV-window, that can be grabbed and pulled on the upper and on the lower edges,
with sometimes unpredictable effects.
So, is there a way of programming a nicely resizable TV-window in Euphoria,
like, let's say an example, that we all know, favorites TV-window in MS IE or
filesystem TV-window in MS explorer?
Regards,
Thomas

Try the zoom fac in my Deluxe Slide Show3.

Change zooming the picture to zooming the window.

I managed this in Edita, which uses Arwen rather than Win32Lib.
The relevant parts are eamarea.ew, which handles resizing of the
message area (Ctrl M) and some more scattered code in edita.exw (look
for WESizing) which handles the file panel (Ctrl L). Both of these
just set isFilePanelWidth/isMessageHeight and send a WM_SIZE message,
which in turn invokes recalculateClipRect which calls xMoveWindow a
bunch of times. There might be an easier way to do it, and before you
ask I have not tried this using win32lib.

Um.... how about a Splitter? Have you looked into xControls?

Hi Co-Euphorians,
this is - for the moment - just to say to you all, that I really appreciate your
responds!
I thus had to find out, that my prob isn't that easy to fix; as my pgm is more
or less stable, I will leave it for the moment with it's ugly, but working,
Win32lib resizable panes. After really understanding the changes necessary I will
implement them.
@Don: had a look at your pgm: that's really very nice, but I can't find a
relation to my prob? Perhaps you did misunderstand me?
@Pete: That does not sound very enthusiastic!
@Greg: pgm textview, f.e.: sorry, the .exw doesn't work anymore on my system,
because of change from (depreciated) on* > setHandler, but the .exe showed, that
you had understood my prob, and that there is a way of doing "nice" resizable
windows! I will just need some time now to understand, what's going on in the
splitter routines, before implementing them ...
Best regards, Thomas

Wow, textview. That's old. Try looking up xControls 2.0 - its my
newest rewrite since I adopted the library from Don Phillips some time
back.
