Greetings,
In my attempts to handle GenericDialog(s) oversized windows, I was
perusing the code for GenericDialog and discovered two things I did not
know you should be able to do but didn't work...
1) using addToSameRow() just before showDialog(), which I assume is
intended to put Ok/Cancel buttons on the same row as the last defined
widget. The only problem, the Ok/Cancel buttons are put just past the edge
of the window on the same row.
The reason I was looking at this is when the GenericDialog is too big for
a screen the window is resized to fit the screen, albeit, the Ok/Cancel
buttons are off the screen. I suspect that the fix to the previous will
keep the Ok/Cancel button on the screen in this case.
2) I notice that the Shift-Ctrl-G sequence should cause a full screen
capture. I tried this in a few of my existing GeneriDialog(s) and nothing
happened, although it seems to work in the provided example. This is not a
problem for me since this is not specific to the GenricDialog. What would
be nice is for pressing Ctrl-C within the GenericDialog would screen grab
just the displayed GenericDialog; where the OS window dressings are
desired. I would use this for preparing documentation for my plugins.
Thanks for listening,
Fred
