[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Browser Window Visible co-ordinate widget for test

[David C. <dle...@ya...>]

Greetings all,
  This widget is just about complete.  scrposit.js
What it does:
  Returns the left x, top y, right x, bottom y, center
x and center y of the visible browser screen with
respect to whether the scrollbars are visible or not. 
These values are available to other code by using:
DynAPI.sizr.vlx  left x-coordinate
DynAPI.sizr.vty  top y-coordinate
DynAPI.sizr.vrx  right x-coordinate
DynAPI.sizr.vby  bottom y-coordinate
DynAPI.sizr.vCX  center x-coordinate
DynAPI.sizr.vCY  center y-coordinate

  Allows the scrollbars to be forced on or off.

  Allows the width or height of the scrollbars to be
added to the returned co-ordinates.

  Returns an event on browser resize (sresize) browser
scroll, even in NS (sscroll) and scroll finished
(sFscroll).  It creates a DynPI.onResize function that
in turn fires the "sresize".

  Possible uses:
  Layer positioning to appear in the viewable area of
the browser (no hiding behind the scrollbars).

  Layer lock for menus or help bars.

  The "dreaded" watermark scrolling technique.

  Returns the size independant of
document.getWidth/getHeight so if oversize pages are
being used, you can still get the browser window
visible co-ordinates.



Usage: 1 line at the beginning of the on load:

var_name = new ScrPosit()

  Arguments:
(add_scrollbar_val,set_scroll,set_doc_size,set_doc_width,set_doc_height,force_scrollbars_on,hide_scrollbars)

add_scrollbar_val  true or false use to add the
scrollbar dimensions to the returned values

set_scroll  true or false  turns on the scrolling
monitor code

set_doc_size true or false  sets the
document.width/height in ns4 also needed to save
following values in ie and ns6

set_doc_width  number

set_doc_height number

force_scrollbars_on  true or false Sets a 1pixel layer
at the correct position to make the browser window
default to the previous settings and thus forcing on
the scrollbars.

hide_scrollbars  true or false  will force the
scrollbars off

I am still working on the usage page, but here are
some examples.  Note that sometimes it is neccesary to
hit the get values to see the results if the scrolling
code is not active, it updates on a lot of events, but
the screen update is not part of the widget code

Menu lock and scrolling watermark:
http://www.merlinsworld.net/dynapi_ri_dcexamples/dc_sposit_exmpl_4.shtml

Evaluation page:
http://www.merlinsworld.net/dynapi_ri_dcexamples/dc_sposit_exmpl_2.shtml

Scrolling Evaluation page:
http://www.merlinsworld.net/dynapi_ri_dcexamples/dc_sposit_exmpl_3.shtml

the widget is attached here.
Note: the horizontal scrollbar is not detectable in
NS6 due to a "bug" in NS6.  For now it is locked to
the vertical bar, and will error to the inside
dimension (coordinate will never be obscured by the
scrollbar)

Comments? Suggestions?


Cheers,

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Re: Richard Bennett & all others

[Cheston U. <Che...@rl...>]

Thanks for the reply.

To address your first question, No, I won't be making concerted efforts to support Netscape.  The reason is simple.  Our Network Administrator won't allow Netscape of any kind to be installed on any computer owned by the school division.  This makes developing and testing pages on NS virtually imopossible, so I can't really do anything about it. ( I would support it, if i could.) 

As for your solution to the problem...
    I allready tried the getWidth() and getHeight() method.....and it didnt work. For some reason, the code just doesnt seem to update the height/width, when the user resizes the browser.  I am thinking of having a new window opened with resizing disabled, and automatically maximized to the user's screen resolution.  So far, it seems the only viable solution.

However, your suggestion for a History module is rather intriguing.

If you, or anyone else have any ideas how to go about making a History module, perhapse we could all get together and start developing one.  It cirtainly would solve the resize/page-reload problem, and make everything more compatable.

 I'm not real familiar with the guts of OOP, but I catch on to methods of programming fast.  If you want a copy of what I currently have developed, send me and e-mail at:
Che...@rl... 
and I'll respond with the page I've been developing so far.  It isnt a Widget yet, just a script that I would like to someday make *into* a Widget. 
Until then, I want to work on getting the entire concept to work correctly...bridging the gap between webpage and webapp.
The basic premise is to have frames that can be manipulated in ways that are currently not possible with conventional frames. Try clicking on a conventional frame, and have it change size, move around, dissappear, re-appear, etc......you cant do it.  Nest an IFRAME within a Dynlayer...and boom....you have all the flexibility of a Dynlayer, with the external page browsing and external script handling of a completely separate frame.  In my opinion, Netscape is somewhat foolish for not supporting IFRAMEs as IE has done.

But I guess we'll have to see what happens in the future.  Until then....Whoever has useful ideas on how to help me out, will get commendation on my site, and a link to your own (assuming it's appropriate for schoolkids to see it  ;-D  ...the joys of volunteering for a school-=grins=-.).

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] grid widget

[<AFr...@ba...>]

Hello.

I am looking to either implement or extend an existing widget that by
and large looks like a spreadsheet.  Features that I am looking for:

- horizonal and vertical scrollbars
- column headers
- optional row numbering
- single and/or multi column selection (by clicking on the col header)
- single and/or multi row selection (by clicking on the row number)
- row selection with a checkbox
- row insertion (which requires renumbering of rows/ids)
- column insertion
- column freezing
- ability to scroll around on the grid with the cursor keys

Optionally I would like to have it have these type of features:
- column based datatypes (text, number, dropdown)
- column based [un]locking of cells
- inline cell editing based on the colum's datatype or the cell's
  datatype
- copy insert of a row(s)

I have implemented a DOM based version, more a (poor) proof of concept,
of this using a table; however, it does not implement all of the
features that I need.  One of the primary problems is that my version
does not fix the column headers and the row numbers to the sides of the
grid.  This makes the grid useful with only a screenful of data.  Since
I have the potential to have 60 columns and 150 rows, it is very
unlikely that all of the data will fit on one screen.

Also, since I have more than a screenful of data, it is essential that
it displays a screenful of data ASAP.  I was able to accomplish this by
using the setTimeout function in JS.  Talk about a hack... ;)

I found the example on Scott Andrew's site:
http://www.scottandrew.com/dhtml/demos/dynchart.html but this does not
help with the scrolling issue.  I am also concerned with the number of
layers his approach creates.  If I have a 60x150 grid I am looking at
9000 DIV tags just for the grid.  That does not take any of the other
layers that may be needed in to account.

Being that I am not by any stretch of the imagination familiar enough
with the DynAPI and all of the changes that it has been undergoing the
past several weeks to know where to start on this I would appreciate any
suggestions.  At this point I have looked at modifying the
dynapi.gui.ScollPane but I do not know if that is really where I should
be starting.

I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone can offer.

Thanks,
Andy

in that case, i'm not sure what is causing the problem, the code uses a
standard mouseover to change the background.

> if you want, I've got your old code and can have a go at making the

Feel free, I was just wondering what's the best setup, on one hand it's
nice and simple to be able to call
myLayer.grow() or
myLayer.shrink()
On the other hand the animation extension approach is more solid.
Is there an easy way to link the two?
something like:

DynLayer.prototype.setGrow= function(dlyr,stepn,stepsize,speed) {
 this.grow = new Animation.Grow(dlyr,stepn,stepsize,speed);
}

DynLayer.prototype.grow= function() {
if(this.grow)this.grow.playAnimation(false);
}

DynLayer.prototype.shrink= function() {
if(this.grow)this.grow.playAnimation(true);
}

Could it be so simple, or am I missing something?

> Also what do you think of the java like class setup.
I found it "interesting", but I'm not a  Java user, so I'm not sure how that
works, and as I have enough to do as it is, I leave the structural changes
to those who know what they are talking about  ;O)

BTW I found a PDF on cross-browser JAVA, with something on the Mac, and

i'm not currently using IE and I apologise if i'm missing something here
but I still do not know what you mean be selection.  Do you mean
highlighting the menu option when the mouse moves over it or are you
talking text selection like selecting text to copy to the clipboard.

the text selection (eg to copy) is stopped in the same fashion as I have
stopped the right click menu.

also, as I should have said in my previous post NONE of the popup menu
items work in IE.  IE doesn't want to allow me to use JS to navigate.
Why would anyone want that? : )

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Grow Animation (again)

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

when did we become DynMacromedia ??

just kidding : )

if you want, I've got your old code and can have a go at making the conversion.

Also what do you think of the java like class setup.

I was thinking of changing my code so that all object constructors are attached
to a single point and then we can simply delete them all from there in some sort
of memory leak "solution".
    eg: code.ext.Animation.Glow
         code.gui.DynLayer, gui.DynDocument
         code.gui.ScrollBar

similar to that used for accessing java classes in Netscape LiveConnect.

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Grow Animation (again)

[Richard B. <ma...@ri...>]

Yes, very nice.
I just looked at the source, and it's certainly more inline with the other
animations.
That's the idea I should apply to wipe.js too.
And maybe to my pathanimBendAddon .

Regarding slideTo/grow, I think you listen for ongrowrun, and move the layer
"myLayer.moveBy(3)" or whatever.
If you find a way of combining animations that would be great, but I think
that is tied in with a timeline which returns a stepSize value, like we
where discussing in another thread.
Then you would have frames, so you could say my slideTo() goes from frame 20
to frame 40, and grow.playAnimation(false) starts at frame 30 to frame 40.
Widgets would have their own little timeline, for internal animations.
Then we add key-frames and tweening, and action-script, - ahh what am I
talking about, that'd never sell ;o).

Richard.

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Grow Animation

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

I've attached a modified version of richard's grow animation code.

It has been changes to that it can be used in the same fashion of the
other animation extensions.

The code needs some alteration (Animation.Grow should become
GrowAnimation) due to my personal alterations to the animation
structure.  Other than that, it should work perfectly with the current
DynAPI code.  See the included HTML file to see how it works.

Note: I've removed a lot of Richards advanced mouse triggered aspects.
These can be added if needed but are not required for a simple grow
animation.

I'm also interested in a version that grows and slides so that the layer
moves to a new logation and resizes as it goes.  any comments?

If you are replying to my post,
I was wondering if you were intending on supporting Netscape 4, because:
* NS4 doesn't support I-frame, and it's I-layer will reload your whole page
if someone clicks a link.
* NS4 has problems when resizing the page, and will need a lot of
experimenting with to get this working.

If you DO want to support NS4, I think you'd have to use a frame-set for
that browser (which will also have it's problems, but that's the same with
I-frame), and if you can't get around the NS4 resizing bug, you could add a
history module, so users could go back|forward, and use it to reset the
users page after a resize/reload.

For all other browsers you simply do something like this:

DynAPI.onResize=function() {

myWindow.moveTo(DynAPI.document.getWidth()/2-318,DynAPI.document.getHeight()
/2-180)
 myWindow.setSize etc...
}

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Drag and Drop

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

if by right popup you mean a right click menu or such, the answer is
yes.

as for dragging with altered click triggers (mouse click to start, mouse
click to end) you would need to alter the drag code.  the drop feature
is simply and extension of dragging and does not effect any drag code.

there are still a few problems with the drag drop setup.  one is that
the mouse event x & y values are not updated when you start playing
around with the object being dragged.  This should be solved but I don't
think anyone is working on it at the moment.
