RE: Avoid FillPane width negative

[Roger L. Whitcomb]

Hi Brendan,

                That is a good thought - let me look into that.  But, I
think you can still set the minimum width of your main application
window to avoid the possibility of it going too small.  We did this by
doing the following:

                public void startup(Display display, Map<String, String>
properties) {

...

                    java.awt.Window hostWindow =
display.getHostWindow();

                    hostWindow.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(1024, 768));

 

                Let us know if this does NOT work and then we can look
further at your suggestion to deal with the negative width differently.

 

HTH,

Hi Roger,

 

In my case, the only set the outermost container is still not guarantee
the fill pane width is always positive.

I wonder if it is sensible to bypass layout if the width or height is
less than zero instead of throwing an error.

Hi Brendan,

                I think what you want to do is set a minimum width on
your outermost container (Frame or Window).

Dear all,

 

I wonder how to setup a TablePane, let's say, two columns with one's
width is -1 and the other "1*", so that the second expand as container
expand but I also want the second column to have a minimum width.  so
that when outer container is too small, I will end up with negative
width of the second column.

 

Here is the actual cod in bxml:

 

<TablePane>

<columns>

<TablePane.Column width="-1" />

<TablePane.Column width="1*" />

</columns>

<TablePane.Row height="-1">

       <BoxPane styles="{padding:4, horizontalAlignment:'center',

        verticalAlignment:'center'}">

       <PushButton bxml:id="uploadButton" buttonData="%UploadButton"
enabled="false" />

       <PushButton bxml:id="cancelButton" buttonData="%CancelButton"
enabled="false" />

        </BoxPane>

       <FillPane styles="{padding:4}" minimumWidth="100">

       <TextInput bxml:id="formulaTextInput" enabled="false"
minimumWidth="100" />

       </FillPane>

</TablePane.Row>

</TablePane>

 

Here I try to put minimumWidth in the FillPane and TextInput, but no
use.

 

Regards,

 

Brendan
