Re: [fltk.general] Fl_Choice list openning direction
I'm using a Fl_Choice widget which is located at the very bottom of a fullscreen window. The issue is that when the list is showing up, it is shown downward and thus not in the window which makes it practically unusable. Is there a way to change this behaviour ? I guess I have to go directly in Fl_Choice code... Where should I look ? Which version of fltk and which host platform? There was a bug in fltk-1.3.something that was computing the screen boundaries incorrectly and then positioning the popped up menus badly - much like you describe. This is fixed (I believe) in more recent tarballs, so you could try a recent build - also I think fltk-1.1 got this right. Or...?

Re: [fltk.general] Fl_Choice list openning direction
FLTK 1.3 svn up to date version...
I changed Fl_Choice.cxx handle method :
case FL_PUSH:
if (Fl::visible_focus()) Fl::focus(this);
J1:
if (Fl::scheme()
|| fl_contrast(textcolor(), FL_BACKGROUND2_COLOR) != textcolor()) {
//v = menu()-pulldown(x(), y(), w(), h(), mvalue(), this);
v = menu()-pulldown(x(), y(), w(), 0, mvalue(), this);
} else {
// In order to preserve the old look-n-feel of white menus,
// temporarily override the color() of this widget...
Fl_Color c = color();
color(FL_BACKGROUND2_COLOR);
//v = menu()-pulldown(x(), y(), w(), h(), mvalue(), this);
v = menu()-pulldown(x(), y(), w(), 0, mvalue(), this);
color(c);
}
if (!v || v-submenu()) return 1;
if (v != mvalue()) redraw();
picked(v);
return 1;
(changed the calls to pulldown)
and this gives an acceptable behaviour to my opinion.

Mathieu

When the Fl_Choice menu runs off the edge of the screen, you still should be able to move the mouse to the screen edge, and it should auto-scroll. If it's not, let us know which platform and which specific version of fltk. (fltk 1.3.0, or 1.3.x svn current) The Fl_Choice widget is unusual in that when you click on it, it tries to position the menu such that the currently chosen option is under the mouse when the menu opens. This means the menu may have to roll off the screen edge in order to do that, and is why it supports auto-scrolling. Other menus like Fl_Menu_Button, Fl_Menu_Bar, etc. are able to open menus to avoid screen edges when possible because there's no restrictions on the menu's position when it opens. ___ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
