Well, one of the things that I like about 3.0 is the
library class. It really makes things much easier. The
dependency feature can be used as shown below:

this.add('dynapi.gui.DynButton','dynbutton.js','DynLayer');
this.add('dynapi.gui.ScrollBar','scrollbar.js','DynButton');

With the above DynButton will be automatically loaded
whenever ScrollBar is included:

dynapi.include('ScrollBar');

No need to include DynButton as ScrollBar is dependent
on DynButton. Now that's what I call cool!

[Dynapi-Dev] Why didn't anyeon say anthing?!?! (or: library functions)

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Woh dudes.. I had a flash, and had to try it our.. AND IT WORKED!!
The only reason I'm surprised is taht I tried something similar in 2.x =
and couldn't get it working..

Sorry here's the deal:
In order to reduce the amount of code the user need in order ot use the =
scrollbar,
I added the library calls to load the dynButton IN THE SCROLLBAR.JS FILE =
(DOH!)
My question is this.. can there be any bad side effects (as far as we =
know) to
accidently loading the same library twice? Is there a check when loading =
or defining a libary?
If not then I propose to make this part of the widget standard..

Just load your widget's dependancies in your widgets .js file before you =
define the object..

Thanks very much for the patches. I will upload them
to cvs today.

Yes. NS4 can not do post from an ilayer <form>.
XFrames makes it possible to dynamically post data
from NS4. It can also be used to multiple isolated
calls which will result in faster multi-threaded
GET,POST and file UPLOADs in all browsers.

Well, I don't know if anyone is working on it just
now, but it would be nice to have perl, php,
coldfusion, jsp, python, etc versions of the
soda.jscript.asp file. IMO I think it's best to use
the soda.jscript.asp as a template instead of
soda.vbscript.asp when porting to other languages as
soda.jscript.asp is more straight forward.

Sounds great to me! I like the left/right and up/down
approach. This will make it easier for us to create
things like spreadsheet widgets, etc.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] anchors:

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

In creating the attached example I discovered the following:
The width of the button is being changed, but the anchor parameters are not
being utilized after the size change.

When you click the link to change to width to 1 pixel you will notice that
the button is set to a width of 1, but the button's left position is not
changed..
Meaning, that the parameter of right:0 is no longer honored

You can see the same when you set the height of the layer, the layer's x
potion doe snot change,
therfore not honering the bottom:0 parameter.

As the only parameters passed to setAnchor (in this case) are
right:0,bottom:0
one would dexpect that after changing the size, that the layer would be
re-anchored to
right:0,bottom:0

On other words, the anchors work great, until you change the size of the
layer,
at which point the anchors are no longer honored..

[Dynapi-Dev] General patches + ioelement ? + demos

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hi,

I've attached a few patches against the latest? (yesterday's) CVS.

I've left IOElement still only allowing an Xframe thread and for
NS4. Was there a special reason for this? I know in NS4 it's 
needed as it can't post from an ilayer form? Though it looks
like NS4 is only allowed to do a get?

Does anyone have a perl port of the SODA stuff? I'd like to learn
more about datasource etc.

Thanks for the demo's Raymond. Very helpfull to aid in my
understanding of new features. Needed a dynlayer_dom.js
patch (attached).

OK now for TabManager. It's ready over the weekend I hope:
It's a pain as some browsers don't generate key events for all
required keys.

So I propose the basic functionality for all broswers is:

1) for moving in same tabgroup - numeric keypad left / right
2) for moving between tabgroups - numeric keypad up / down
3) for selecting the current tab/dynlayer/widget - space key

This is the worst case for NS4 on Windows - NS4 on Linux
will require a special fix as some keys only generate events
onkeyup and others onkeydown :(

To the above functionality there will be available for browsers
that generate the key events.

1) left / right arrow keys and shift+tab / tab
2) up / down arrowkeys
3) enter key

This is the best case for IE as the default use of the tab can be
stopped with e.preventDefault() - Netscape will require a
special fix to force focus when using the tab key.

I'll leave special fixes commented out in the code so are there
if needed!

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynButton

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Well, I must say the widget looks good! It's light
weight (small in size) and very simple.

Note the following shortcuts:

1) The arguments x, y, w, h, caption, bgColor,
fgColor, vAlign, hAlign might be too long for a user
to rememer them all. why not use the dual parameter
(or dictionary) option found in DynLayer. This way a
user can choose which way he/she wants to use:


function
DynButton(x,y,w,h,caption,bgColor,fgColor,vAlign,hAlign){

	if (x && x.constructor==Object){
		var args=x; // dictionary input
		x = args.x;
		y = args.y;
		w = args.w;
		h = args.h;
		caption = args.caption;
		bgColor= args.bgColor;
		fgColor = args.fgColor;
		vAlign = args.vAlign;
		hAlign = args.hAlign;
	}

	this.DynLayer = DynLayer;

this.DynLayer(null,(x||0),(y||0),(w||16),(h||200),(bgColor||'#CCCCCC'));

	this.id = "DynButton"+(DynButton.Count++);

	//this.setLocation(x||0,y||0);
	//this.setSize(w||16,h||200);

	this.fgColor=fgColor||'black';
	//this.setBgColor(bgColor||'#CCCCCC');

	this.vAlign=vAlign||"middle";
	this.hAlign=hAlign||"center";

	this.state=0;//0=up, 1=down
	this.addChild(new
DynLayer(null,0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight()),'label');
	this.setCaption(caption||'');
    this.enableBlackboard();
    this.label.setTextSelectable(false);
	this.label.addEventListener(this.mouseEvt);
	this.setState(0);
	return this;
};


2) Instead of:
this.label=this.addChild(new
DynLayer(null,0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight()));

you can do:

this.addChild(new
DynLayer(null,0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight()),'label');


3) you can disable text selecting with:

this.label.setTextSelectable(false);

4) Why are you using setting your own id?

this.id = "DynButton"+(DynButton.Count++);
// the above will not work with this+'.setCaption()'

Please send me a working example of the above and I'll

That should be possible with
setAnchor({top:0,right:0}). You should then be able to
change the width and height without any problem at
all. If you can't change the width/height after
setting the anchor then send me a working example so I
can take a look at it

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer Blackboard updates

No, it's not yet in cvs. You'll have to use the
attached files to perform the updates. I'm working on
an addHTML() feature that will us to add a block of
html code to the document before and after page loads.
It might also be possible to add a block of HTML code
to DnLayers after they're loaded. IMO this will enable
us to download inline layers and append them to not
only the document object but to DynLayers also, thus
creating very large and complex widgets that can be
implemented in stages.

[Dynapi-Dev] anchors:

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

a point.. it seems that you must define the size of a layer before you =
set it's anchor,
unless you intend to set all 4 dimension in the anchor.. can this be =
fixed somehow?
And once the anchor is set, even if you did not define it left (for =
instance) you can not resize thelayer..

It would be nice I I could anchor a layer to the top+right of it's =
parent, but still be able to change it's width or hight
afterwards.

Yea, the DynElement._flagCreate is a new function.
This should have been inside the cvs. Do you have the
latest cvs version of the event.js file? If not it's
attacted. DynElement._flagCreate is much faster than
calling DynElement._flagEvent(this,'create')

[Dynapi-Dev] DynButton

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Her ya go..
AS always, the HTMl file goes into your examples dirctory, and the js =
file goes=20
into your src/gui/ directory..

Comment, complains, suggestions?
I think about adding a depth parameter, this ould be handles with the =
table border size in IE/DOM
and with extra tables in NS..
Note that ALL parameters have associated get and set methods..
:-)
Now for the scrollbar

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer Blackboard updates

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Found a bug: the following on line 92 of DynLayer_base.js blows up on NS
"not a function"
DynElement._flagCreate(this);
When replaced with line 92 from the previous version is fine:
DynElement._flagEvent(this,'create');

[Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer Blackboard updates

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Hello,

The attached zip file contains the updates for the new
blackboard feature.

The new enableBlackboard() function must be called
before the layer is created or before the setHTML
function if the layer has already been created

Speed test: 100 layers /w native blackboard:390-470ms,
100 layers /w dynlayer as blackboard:721-740ms

Layers with blackboard enabled takes a little more
time to be generate, but this is nothing compared to
using a second dynlayer as a blackboard.


PS. blackboard will have no impact on blueprint! You
get the same performance as before.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] New BlackBoard concept for DynAPI 3.0

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Raymond:
Let us know when you have the blackboard code and example in cvs..
I will need it to create the DynButton, otherwise I need to add two layers
(plus itself = 3 layers)
to make the 3d effect work.
Once the button is done, I will re-implement the scrollbar and we will be
back on track.

So note to Raymond: making blackboard a priority would be prety cool..
hehe..
:-)

Still hammering out the specs for the new tree widget or, DynTree..
I'll post the specs as soon as I've got them.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] My options on ScrollBar Light

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

1) The naming convention is certainly up for debate.
This is one of the things we would want to cover in
a widget standard.

2) Point taken, will do.

3) anchors hadn't even occured to me..
    I will most certainly implement them.

3b) (maybe ment 4? :-) )  I'm afranid I found the range method of doing
thing in VB very diffuclt.
        It would really mess up my math if I had to resize something.
    Wheras the ratio is simple the percentage of total possible scrolling.
    It may be debated, but I personally like the simplicity of the math
involved.

As for the arrows, I agree.. Will do.
