Which objects should I use to make a grid display of small, simple images? I want to have around 30 variables that contain images, say 16X16 pixels. The grid would fill with these images depending on external data. Columns represent days and rows represent the timeline of a stock item (resource). Tell me to go away and do the work if this is too detailed a question,
I would create a group that would hold your image grid. This allows you to easily delete all of the images each time you want to recreate the grid -
repeat with i = number of controls of group "MyGroup" down to 1 delete control i of group "MyGroup" end repeat
If you ever have to scroll your image grid then you can set the vScrollbar of the group to true -
if (formattedHeight of group "MyGroup" > height of group "MyGroup") then set vScrollbar of group "MyGroup" to true
Here is some code I use in one of my applications. My array is populated by a database query which is where tTutorialData comes from -
put 10 into tRowLimit put left of group "Tutorials" into tLeftEdge put tLeftEdge into tX put top of group "Tutorials" into tY put 100 into tWidth put 100 into tHeight put 10 into tMarginY put 10 into tMarginX
repeat with i = 1 to tTutorialData["Length"]
##
## Create image
##
create image ("Media_" & tTutorialData["Data",i,"ID"]) in group "Tutorials"
put it into tObjRef
set fileName of tObjRef to libSys_AppPath() & "/Media/" & tTutorialData["Data",i,"Thumbnail"]
set the uID of tObjRef to tTutorialData["Data",i,"ID"]
set width of tObjRef to tWidth
set height of tObjRef to tHeight
set topLeft of tObjRef to (tX, tY)
## Adjust next positions if (i mod tRowLimit = 0) then put tLeftEdge into tX add tHeight to tY add tMarginY to tY else add tMarginX to tX add tWidth to tX end if end repeat
Hope this helps,
