The maximize requires the window manager to understand "extended window manager
hints".  See freedesktop.org for details.

My first choice would be to see if the blackbox people have added this already,
and if not, request it from them [it'll help with ALL modern GUI apps, not
just FOX but also gnome and kde].

While you're waiting, you can create a borderless toplevel window and reparent
into that.  This should work AFIAK.
The advantage of reparenting is that you can reparent again to move back to
the original toplevel window when you come out of full screen mode again.

Re: [Fxruby-users] FXDialogBox ignores DECOR_RESIZE

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I looked at both the examples with fxruby and the examples with fox itself, to see 
how they made their dialogs resizable. I discovered that resizing does'nt work there either.
I looked at the FXWindow.cpp file, but way it deal with 'options' looked ok to me.

Is it a known problem that resizing decorations doesn't work (except the mainwindow)?

I am curious to if resizing works on you box, perhaps with a different version of fox?

Please help.


I have installed fox-1.0.51.    
I will try to install an older version to see if resizing works there.

[Fxruby-users] FXDialogBox ignores DECOR_RESIZE

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I have tried to initialize my derived class with 

super(owner, "Dialog", DECOR_TITLE|DECOR_BORDER|DECOR_RESIZE, 0, 0, 640, 480, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

and also with

super(owner, "Dialog", DECOR_ALL, 0, 0, 640, 480, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 


But the dialog is not resizeable.

What is the obvious I have overseen ?

Re: [Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

FYI: It wasn't possible to change the MainWindow of the application. 
Instead I now use a FXDialogBox as my primary window.
When I want to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode then
I close the dialogbox, and then from the MainWindow I now spawn
a new dialogbox instance in the opposite mode.

Now I just have to figure out how to make the FXMainWindow invisible?

Re: [Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I somewhere read a reply by Jeroen, that some windowmanagers ignore
the decoration requests..  I guess in order to switch from
window-mode (with decorations) to full-screen (borderless) then
I have to close the window and spawn a full-screen window.

Re: [Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I have a few problem removing the decorations.. here is my story.

I want to toggle between window mode and full-screen mode.

The main-window is stated with PLACEMENT_SCREEN and DECOR_ALL.
Then when the application has been running for a while, I want 
to switch to full-screen. 

def onToggleScreenMode(sender, sel, event)
  self.place(PLACEMENT_MAXIMIZED)
  self.setDecorations(DECOR_NONE)
end 

It goes to full-screen.. but doesn't remove the decorations.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this ?

Re: [Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

Ok.. this makes a full screen window.  However my blackbox titlebar
is still visible, and the bottom of the window is outside the screen
(the outside part has the same height as the titlebar).

How do I spawn the window so that the titlebar is outside the display,
so that pixel x=0, y=0 corresponds to the top-left most corner of the display ?

Re: [Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Rich <ri...@li...>]

There will be a point when you do something like:
...
   @appRef=FXApp.new
...
   @mainwin=FXMainWindow.new(@appRef,"test")
...
  @appRef.create
  @mainwin.show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
  @appRef.run

You'll want to use 'PLACEMENT_MAXIMIZED' instead of 'PLACEMENT_SCREEN' when
you 'show' your main window.

[Fxruby-users] switch to full screen mode

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I am working on a fxruby frontend for my text editor.  
I wish to switch to full-screen mode, but have not been able to
find any text about how to accomplish this.

Any ideas/suggestions are very welcome ?

In case you know a fox application which are able to do this
then please tell me.. then I will try doing copy/paste :-)

Anything derived from FXTopWindow, in other words, a direct child of
the root window that's not a popup.

Perhaps one of your buttons has the BUTTON_INITIAL and BUTTON_DEFAULT
options?  Normally, such a button attracts the focus when the dialog
is first shown...

Re: [Fxruby-users] Simple drive/dir/file browser

[Tom <tku...@so...>]

Aha! This is what I put in, after creating with "drivebox = 
FXDriveBox..." and "dirbox = FXDirBox..."

       drivebox.connect(SEL_COMMAND) { |send,sel,ptr|
         dirbox.directory = send.drive
       }

Is this an appropriate usage of the sender or should I have used 
"drivebox.drive" instead?

Thanks,
Tom

It sounds as though you may want to work an FXDriveBox widget into your 
browser as well, as least for the Windows version. I guess maybe none 
of the example programs use this widget, but it's basically a subclass 
of FXListBox that lets you select a drive. You should then be able to 
use that information to modify the path shown by the FXDirList or 
FXFileList.

Several kinds of objects in FOX applications are treated as shared 
resources; these include objects like cursors, fonts and icons. So 
while an icon is associated with a particular FXApp instance (as 
suggested by its constructor) it's a mistake to think of it in terms of 
the application "owning" the icon. In fact, you can use the same, 
single FXPNGIcon instance with your main window, labels, buttons, etc. 
(i.e. any widget that can be decorated with an icon). A mistake I see 
in a lot of FOX programs is that programmers will construct multiple 
icon objects all pointing to the same icon data, e.g.

	0.upto(1000) {
		anIcon = FXPNGIcon.new(getApp(), someIconData)
		anIcon.create
		aTreeList.addItemLast(nil, "some text", anIcon)
	}

The confusion may arise because of how the constructors for 
"non-shared" FOX objects (such as windows) are written. There, the 
first argument is almost always the parent window, and there is a 
definite parent-child containment hierarchy going on there: the 
"parent" window does "own" the child window, in a sense, and if you 
delete the parent window the child window goes away too.

There is only one tooltip object (or, rather, it's unnecessary to have 
more than one tooltip object). Whenever the tooltip's update handler 
runs, the tooltip checks to see which widget the mouse cursor is 
currently hovering over. And of course there's a timer in the mix, so 
that the tooltip "waits" a little while before it displays itself. You 
are correct that when the tooltip does display itself, it "asks" the 
current widget under the cursor for its tooltip text and displays that.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

FXPNGIcon.new isn't putting the icon into any particular widget, it is 
simply creating the icon so that it can later be put into one or more 
widgets or windows (i.e. button, dialogbox, etc.).  That's why you don't 
specify the particular widget (i.e. button) when you initially create 
it.  However, if you look in the docs for the FXButton class, you will 
see that you can specify an icon in the constructor.  That's where you 
put the reference to the FXPNGIcon that you created earlier.   Am I 
understanding the question or did I miss something?

This is kind of the same thing.  You initialize a FXTooltip object once 
for the entire application.  Then, when you create each object (i.e. 
button), you can specify a text string in the constructor that will 
appear as the tooltip for that object.  But you have toe create the 
FXTooltip first for the whole app in order for tooltips to work for each 
object.

A pretty good source for docs is at www.fxruby.org.  Click on the "API"

Overall that is as puzzling to me as it is to you. I'll forward this to
the fxruby users' list in case someone can help you.

There's also some stuff on fox-toolkit.org (naturally not
ruby-specific) which is sometimes helpful.

If you get answers to these, will you share them with me?

[Fxruby-users] Simple drive/dir/file browser

[Tom <tku...@so...>]

I am trying to make a very simple windows app that acts as an "explorer" 
or "browser" where I can browse any of the drives on the machine.  I 
cant seem to escape from the current drive using FXFileList and 
FXDirList.  Whatever drive the app runs from, that's the only one 
visible.  How can I fully navigate to the different drives?

Thanks,
Tom

RE: [Fxruby-users] Thoughts on the tree list

[Oliver S. <ol...@mo...>]

The FXTreeList class I ended up writing for my program is a horrible, slow,
complicated tangle of code. :|  I couln't find a way to reorder items
manually.  If you look in the latest Fox source, FXTreeList now has a
'moveItem' sort of command that just hasn't been propagated into FXRuby yet.
As to now, I think you have to delete the item and re-create it in the new
position with 'addItemBefore' and 'addItemAfter'.

I got drag and drop working (not on a tree list) with a combination of
Lyle's tutorial and some posts on the Fox mailing list.  I think it's so
complicated because it's meant for transferring data between applications,
when all I wanted was in the same application.  Dragging an object seemed
confusing to me for that reason.  What I ended up doing when I wanted to
drag and drop a ruby object is just copy it's Object::id into a flat string,
drag that, and then just 'id2ref' the object into existence on the other
side, rather than go to the trouble of packing the entire object.  It
doesn't work between applications, but it works in my case.

I'm not sure about the state of dragging FXTreeList items...it seems like
there is some partially working code in Fox for doing that, and that's
probably where it should be implemented.  I have some code that figures out
which item the mouse is hovering over, if you find that useful.  It would be
awesome to have a more ruby-friendly version of FXTreeList.

Those are my rambling notes. :)  Maybe someone else knows better.  Good luck
anyway,

Oliver

[Fxruby-users] Thoughts on the tree list

[Hal F. <ha...@hy...>]

OK, I'm making slow and painful progress on this app of mine
(http://tycho.rubyforge.org).

Eventually I want to fix the tree list so that the items can
be re-ordered manually.

This is daunting to me. A few months ago I read about the
cut-and-paste API, which I thought would be trivially simple
and is not at all. I also read about drag-and-drop, which is
somewhat related, and it is even more painful.

The tree list itself is thorny to understand, and drag/drop
is even worse. Doing drag/drop inside a tree list sounds as
exciting as a trip to the dentist in a third world country.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone wrote a widget (probably
inheriting from the tree list) which could be rearranged in
such ways, and was smart enough to "reflect" itself in a
tree datastructure? Then we could plug in such a widget without
worrying about writing that extra 200 lines of code, no?

But I'm just dreaming there. There's probably some reason it's
not doable that way.

Anyhow, if anyone has any words of wisdom in this area, I'll be
glad to listen...


Cheers,
Hal

Re: [Fxruby-users] setFocus

[Hal F. <ha...@hy...>]

Thanks, Lyle... I'll cc Jeroen and on this then.

I'll leave it on fxruby-users in case someone else
can learn from it.

Jeroen:

I'm trying to understand this sentence:

     "setFocus() puts a widget into the focus chain. If the toplevel
      widget had the REAL focus from the window system [the window
      manager only assigns keyboard focus to a toplevel window], then
      setFocus() generates a SEL_FOCUSIN message; note that in the
      process of child->setFocus(), the whole chain is built up by upward
      recursion, and the child does not become switched into the focus
      chain until the parent is also."

Does this mean I can't do a setFocus on a modal dialog box or its
contents? What is meant by a toplevel window -- one that stands alone,
or an actual main window?

All I'm trying to do is display a modal dialog box and give the focus
to the single text field in it. Nothing I try works.

Surely this is doable??

Thanks much,
Hal Fulton

What happens when you call setFocus() on the table widget? Does it not=20=

receive the keyboard focus?

You might also want to check out the standard FOX documentation on=20
focus handling, found here:

	http://www.fox-toolkit.com/focus.html

and then follow up with questions on the foxgui-users mailing list (or=20=

to Jeroen directly).

Umm, maybe? ;)

I would start out by reading Jeroen's documentation on how keyboard 
focus handling works in FOX:

	http://www.fox-toolkit.com/focus.html

and then follow up with him (or on the foxgui-users mailing list) if 
that still leaves unanswered questions.
