I've never used it, but in searching for it I saw discussions of how to get it to re-layout

I was not sure if FlowBox can take care of resizing the images.If that's the case i will try that. I will definitely keep you posted about that.

Basically I am dragging images from one container which is HBOX( because i need scroller facility too) and dropping them in another container which is Tile. The user should be able to resize the dropped images as shown in the layout and the rest of the images have to adjust in terms of size as well as location to let resized image to get accommodated. I have seen some examples of FlowBox and one as shown in the following link: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html but my problem coems becasue user should be able to resize the images in the container. As I have mentioned this is the first project of this kind for me I am not sure which way to go. Anyway coming to your question (mini-window using FlexMDI) it can be the any way as long as it is solving the purpose of my requirement. Any detail and suggestions, please let me know Thanks Anuj On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 2:16 PM, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Can everything be a mini-window using FlexMDI?

This problem is burning me out now and I need a good head start to achieve this. This is my first project of this kind. Earlier i developed simple prototypes using basic event programming. I need you genius guys's guidance to get me started and need that layout for my images. If there is any custom componenet available in the market then i am ready to buy that too. It is taking me little long to figure out this layout. I have reached at the last level of this project. Sorry for being pain but please help me out in generating this layout. Any guidance and any kind of help in this direction will be highyl appreciated. Thanks in advance guys Anuj On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 1:51 PM, anuj sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Dough I forgot to mention that i am not sure if i can force the components into either rows or columns because I am allowing free flow of the image within the container too which means that the user should be able to resize the image and should be able to drag and drop the image too whereever he wants within the container. i used drag manager for that. i thought should made it clear.

I think you may have to lose of of the desired functionality and allow the content to be binned into distinct rows or columns more tightly. The first image in your attachement is doable in the FlowBox I believe, but the second screenshot is much harder. Notice how box C extends down into a second row, and also how box E extends across multiple columns. That use of dual column and row spanning makes it difficult. If you allow the components to be forced into either rows or columns then it will be much easier.

Right now they are just empty pictures, but the user can drag them on the stage and can resize the images placed on the main screen. My requirement if user drops a new image on the screen all the other images adjust themselves to accommodate the new image. Also if user enlarge or shrink one image (like in the sketch user is trying to shrink image B), all the other images adjust themselves on the main stage . Please let em know if you have any questions.

The other option was the first link which uses static positioning. Really, it depends on what you want the user experience to be like. If you could sketch out the solution - we could throw some code around.

Are there any recommendations about which layout component or container should i use or do i need to create my custom component for achieving this target. I am not sure which way to handle that layout. Please help me out Again Thanks a lot.

I need to calculate the real estate of the HBOX in which the image has been dropped (i-e 2nd HBOX). The reason is that because I need the dropped image to get placed in an empty space within the 2nd HBOX. Is there any way I can calculate which space is empty in the HBOX and let my objects (images) to be placed only in the empty spaces within the HBOX (not the sapce already occupied by the placed images).Once the HBOX is full then I need to code in a way that images starts shrinking(upto some level) to accommodate more images. Please help me out in figuring out this problem. Any type of help/documentation/links in this direction will be highly appreciated. Thanks Anuj
