RE: [Dynapi-Dev] LayoutManager

[Daniel T. <de...@ti...>]

Hi, 
The layoutmanager i have made currently supports layers to be placed and
hold position to eatchother either verticaly or horisontal with x space
between them. So far the layers X and Y positions are not locked so you
can get a diagonal placement of the layers. This will be fixed before
cvs upload. You will be able to set the spacing between them, remove and
add more layers to the manager.

Any more idees is very well apreciated but what i have seen right now
the groupmanager will be left alone as i cant see the usefullnes with
adding this functionality to that one, and as stated under here, the
focusmanager deals with z-index. So i think more "uniteractive" events
and stuff should be in this one. Things that is more static like menues
and windows and sutch, but can change size.

Regards
Daniel

Hi,

FocusManager deals with z-index issues.
