[Dynapi-Help] new to DynApi 2

[Dave R. <da...@ia...>]

I'm new to this version of DynApi and am having trouble getting to grips
with it. I downloaded the link that Dan provided:

http://fury161.dyndns.org/dynapi-2000.11.07-danwidgets.zip

but didn't see any clear cut files showing me Scrollpane, Scrollbar, Button,
Label, ButtonImage and PushPanel. Am I overlooking something? Can someone
point me in the right direction.

I found the tutorials on dansteinman.com for the original DynAPI dynlayer
very useful in learning everything but have not found anything like that so
far for DynAPI 2.

I need help basically in the knowledge of how images are swapped in this new
version within layers and how to do the scroll window.

Help?!

[Dynapi-Help] Help with ScrollPane

[Tarun R E. <ta...@we...>]

Help Dan!

The ScrollPane widget doesnt seem to be working in IE. The weird thing is
that works perfectly in Netscape, and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong
with the code. However "oncreate" is not called in the case of IE, and
nothing appears on the screen.

The example that you have provided with this widget also doesnt work at
first. One needs to set the path to the scrollpane images and then it works
fine, but only in Netscape. :-(

Any ideas or suggestions to get it working ?

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Help with ScrollPane

[Andrew M. <and...@vi...>]

I too am looking for a working ScrollPane, I have found that replacing this
line in dynapi.gui.scrollpane.html :

scroll = new ScrollPane(label1)  // label1 will be set as the content

with :

var scroll = new ScrollPane(label1)  // label1 will be set as the content

at least displays the ScrollPane, but then the setSize and setContent don't
work, hmmm... any ideas?

[Dynapi-Help] ScrollPane Fixed! Nothing Wrong with it!! Everyone was making the same dumb mistake!!!!

[Tarun R E. <ta...@we...>]

Duh!
        I feel like  a chump! The answer was starting at us in the face.
Just replace the variable 'scroll' with any other variable say 'bingo' for
example and presto everythings suddenly fine and jeez, to think that I
wasted an entire day over this!!!

Learned one lesson though -- never keep the variable name as "scroll" -- it
conflicts with something in Internet Explorer.

And by the way Andrew, you cant put a "var" in front of the ScrollPane
reference, that will make it a local variable instead of a global one.

Thanks Dan! There was nothing wrong with your widget after all!

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Help with ScrollPane

[Dan S. <dy...@fu...>]

It must be due to something in the DynAPI core objects.  Nothing of Scrollbar/Scrollpane is browser specific.  What happens with ScrollBar and ViewPort?  ScrollPane is merely a customized ViewPort so that has to work first.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] new to DynApi 2

[<abe...@al...>]

im in the same situation. We need some more documentation however, i assume
we all are very busy people... We have troubles.

well, right now im wondering how to capture keyboard events (using an
structure similar to events.js) and how to manage (if it is posible) the
onfocus event... Actually i don't know how to generate onfocus event using
the cursor arrows, as long as i know, theres no way in wich a DynLayer can
receive focus.

i remember a tutorial for DynApi that describes the ways of capturing
keyboard events (im going to it right now)... but what about onfocus?
somebody can giveme any reference?

thanks!.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] new to DynApi 2

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Yeah, but that's pretty old, though :-)
You can probably hack it for your own purposes, though.

To the issue of DynLayers having "focus"...you can simulate that by
creating a focus manager object.  A focus manager has an array that
holds DynLayers you assign to it to manage.  Then, all you have to do is
decide what user actions give a DynLayer focus.  For example, you can
assign a mousedown eventlistener to a DynLayer that invokes a focus
event on the DynLayer. Invoking focus on a DynLayer acitvates the focus
manager.

The focus manager first checks it's array of DynLayers to make sure it's
responsible for the one that was clicked on, then assigns that layer to
the "currently focused item" property.  So if you want to know which
DynLayer has focus, you just get it from the focus manager, something
like "FocusManager.currentItem" or something.

Okay, somebody build it.
