RE: Form with Custom Grow Box

2017-09-20 Thread Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech 
Hi Cannon,

Thanks for the reply, I am certainly going to try it!

Do you perhaps know if there is a way to open a Movable form dialog box without 
title bar?
Because I didn't find how to do that, I want to create the grow box on a Modal 
form dialog box

Or is the reason you know how to create a custom grow box exactly for this 
reason?

Gr,

Piotr

Here is a way for doing that:

1. Create a picture that looks like a window grabber and place it in the bottom 
right of the form. Put an invisible button over top of it.

2. In the invisible button, capture On Mouse Move and use "SET CURSOR(9005)” to 
change the mouse cursor to a resize icon.

3. In the On Clicked event of the invisible button, capture the mouse position 
(GET MOUSE) and window position and size (GET WINDOW RECT) and store that 
information somewhere (probably process variables). Then start timer (every 1 
ticks works fine).

4. Every time the timer runs, capture the current mouse position and compute 
the difference from the original position. From this you can figure out how 
large the window should be at the moment and you can change it using SET WINDOW 
RECT. You should also check to see if the mouse button has been released (GET 
MOUSE) and stop the timer if it has. In the timer you can do the math to make 
sure the window doesn’t get too small, etc. as well.

HTH.

RE: Form with Custom Grow Box

2017-09-19 Thread Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech 
@chip : Thanks for the suggestion, I will try this

@Miyako : Ok, then the question is : Is there a way to mimic this behavior?

What I am actually want to do is create a form window without title bar, but 
that still is resizable.
Is there someone that knows how to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Piotr

having not done this
this *might* work
a button (picture probably)
on mouse down - get current mouse/window coords
on mouse up - get mouse position - resize window to that position

Re: Form with Custom Grow Box

2017-09-19 Thread Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech 
Hello,

I think the bottom-right grow box is deprecated (v14, Mac OS X Lion, Windows)
a window can now be resized from any side.
