I'm having a problem getting my application to space things the way I
want them. I basically have one horizontal frame that contains
everything. Inside that I have left and right vertical frames. The
left frame I want to contain an iconlist, and I want it take up most of
the space. The right frame will contain a basic list with some buttons
below it, and I only need it to be as wide as the widest item in the
list. So I want it to be fairly narrow. The following code makes the
right and left frames equal size, which scrunches the iconlist and gives
way too much room to the right-hand list. However, when I try to remove
the LAYOUT_FILL_X options from the right and left frames, the lists
occupy the opposite edges and are very narrow, leaving a huge gap of
nothing in the middle.
I tried leaving the left frame set to LAYOUT_FILL_X and hard-coding the
width of the right frame, but it seems to completely ignore my size
settings and leave very little room for the right-hand frame. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carl
Here is the code:
----------------------------
contents = FXHorizontalFrame.new(self,
LAYOUT_SIDE_TOP|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
leftframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(contents,
LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
FXLabel.new(leftpane, "Transactions", nil, LAYOUT_FILL_X)
# Transaction view window
transframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(leftframe,
FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
FXVerticalSeparator.new(contents, SEPARATOR_RIDGE|LAYOUT_FILL_Y)
rightframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(contents,
LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_RIGHT,
0, 0, 150, 200, 0, 0, 0, 0)
FXLabel.new(rightframe, "Categories", nil, LAYOUT_FILL_X)
catlistframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(rightframe,
FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
@catlist = FXList.new(catlistframe, 20, nil, 0,
LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LIST_SINGLESELECT)
@catlist.appendItem("Text")
@translist = FXIconList.new(transframe, nil, 0,
LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|ICONLIST_BROWSESELECT)
@translist.appendHeader("Date", nil, 75)
@translist.appendHeader("Check", nil, 50)
@translist.appendHeader("Amount", nil, 75)
@translist.appendHeader("Payee", nil, 250)

No,
Unless its absolutely necessary for your application to have things aligned
right/center/left use the FXTable class, but I would advise against using
that. FXIconList is much easier to work with and works for most cases. Also
FXTable is still under construction and things like selecting whole rows you
to implement yourself in callbacks from the table.

I don't see anything right offhand that lets you specify the individual columns' alignment for the icon list items. |

Is there a way to specify whether a given column in the detail view is
left, right or center aligned? Or would this be a feature geared more
towards the FXTable class?

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm sure I could scour all over the web but I happen to be in a real big
hurry, so I appreciate your answering the question in a little bit more
detail.
Hmm, setItemData... Working with this API reminds me a little bit of my
MFC days...

You can associate with each icon list item a reference to some other
Ruby object. Say for example that every row in the icon list represents
a customer, which is represented elsewhere in your application by a
Customer object. Then you can make this association while you're
creating its icon item, e.g.
theCustomer = customerDatabase.getCustomer(...)
iconList.appendItem(theCustomer.name, bigIcon, miniIcon, theCustomer)
You can change this association later using setItemData(), e.g.
iconList.setItemData(itemIndex, someOtherCustomer)
I'm not sure I understand the second part of your question ("... how do
I set the values of multiple columns?"). Each icon item (i.e. each row
in the list) can be displayed with multiple fields when the list is
configured in details mode. Those fields are specified as the "text" of
the icon item, and each field is separated by tabs. So for example, if
you wanted three columns (with the name, address and phone number of
the customer) you might do something like:
iconList.appendItem("#{theCustomer.name}\t#{theCustomer.address}\t#{theC
ustomer.phone}", ...)
If this isn't what you were asking about, please let me know.
Hope this helps,
Lyle

Never mind. I guess I need to call appendItem to add to the end of the list. But I'm still a little confused by setItemData. It takes two parameters, index and data. What does data contain and how do I set the values of multiply columns?

Yes... unless you make a control somewhere, the user can never switch the view mode by himself. Sander On Sunday 14 December 2003 07:45 pm, Carl Youngblood wrote: > Thanks.

Thanks. The reason I shied away from FXIconList was that it said that it could be toggled between three different viewing modes. As long as I can keep the user from toggling into the other two modes this sounds like it will work fine. Is this the case?

You're looking for FXIconList which has a detailed mode, that exactly looks like the one in the screenshot.

Hello, I'm trying to create a control like this: http://fox-toolkit.org/screenshots/ss2.png Is there a built-in class for this type of control or must I do some modifications to the FXHeader class. The FXHeader example on the FXRuby web site doesn't give you a unified list that highlights all the way across the view. Each column gets highlighted separately. Thanks for your time.

Hi All, I have just placed a small RUBY/FXRuby tool onto rubyforge. Called RubyFXGen it uses a small scripting 'kanguage' FFDL to describe your forms layout rather than using QT ot FOX-Tool. Its still being worked on but it is very easy (I think) to expand upon. Yours, Brett |

I would also like to recommend rubyscript2exe. It does something similar to exerb. I have used it with to create an exe for an fxruby script with good results. Use it with UPX and you can get fairly small executables.

You need to specify the ruby core file for GUI. exerb has two variations of ruby core files, one is for cui such as ruby168c.rbx and the other is for gui such as ruby168g.rbx. You have to specify a core file ending with "g" in your recipe file. Takashi Sano |

Zipped it's 1.5Mb. So, great! Then, the only problem left is the DOS console... emmanuel |

Hello,
I was wondering if there is support for the combination
ruby+fxruby+fox as exerb script? I've had success with ruby+exerb, with
a filesize of the binary of ~400k + my script size (plus size of
standard library files i'm using, eg find.rb).
Is it possible to get a single .exe or an .exe with DLLs and
distribute a FXRuby application like this? If yes, what is then the size
of the .exe file and related DLLs you have to ship?
Figuring it should be a common question, i searched for quite a
while for this, without clear answer on the net...
thank you for any help.
emmanuel
PS: advantages of using fxruby with exerb are numerous: simple
installation, and even more: transparent upgrade from eg ruby 1.6 to 1.8
without the client noticing.
