Thread: [Fxruby-users] FXSplitterWindow move splitter programatically

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Is there a way to programatically set the position of the splitter bar?

Thanks in advance (and also for all your work on this framework)

I don't see any "setSplit" or equivalent methods in FXSplitter, either.

FWIW, FX4Splitter has methods #getVSplit, #setVSplit, #getHSplit, and 
#setHSplit.

The API doc says there should also be accessors for vSplit and hSplit, 
but these aren't defined.

The setters take a number representing the proportion of split. The max 
is 10_000 (so 5_000 means 50% split). (This is by experimentation. I 
didn't see anything in the docs that would explain this.)

I think Jeroen has added a setSplit() method for fox-1.2 but it's not 
that direct in fox-1.0. Please see my separate response to Steve for 
more information about how to programmatically set the split size in 
fox-1.0.

Hmm, worse than that, it doesn't look like any of the attribute 
accessors for FX4Splitter are defined. I'll get this fixed.

Yes, this appears to be how it works (looking at the FOX source code 
for FX4Splitter). I'll add something to the FXRuby API docs for this as 
well.

Steve,

Please see the note on this page:

	http://www.fifthplanet.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Cookbook/=20
Setting_The_Relative_Sizes_Of_Panes_In_An_FXSplitter

about how to set the split sizes programmatically.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

So here is my test program to try to do as your link says. What am I doing
wrong?

Steve Tuckner

------------------------------------------------------------------

require "fox"

include Fox

class FxTestWindow < FXMainWindow
	TIMER_INTERVAL = 20
	def initialize(app)
		# Invoke base class initialize first
		super(app, "FxSplitterTest", nil, nil, DECOR_ALL, 0, 0, 600, 600)

		splitter = FXSplitter.new(self,

LAYOUT_SIDE_TOP|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|SPLITTER_TRACKING|SPLITTER_VERTI
CAL)
		frame1 = FXVerticalFrame.new(splitter,
			FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y)
			text1 = FXText.new(frame1, nil, 0, LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y, 0, 0,
600, 50)
			text1.setHeight 500
		frame2 = FXVerticalFrame.new(splitter,
			FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y)
			text2 = FXText.new(frame2, nil, 0, LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y, 0, 0,
600, 50)
	end

	# Start
	def create
		super
		show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
	end
end

def runGUI
	$application = FXApp.new("Dialog", "FxSplitterTest")
	$application.init(ARGV)
	FxTestWindow.new($application)
	$application.create
	$application.run
end

runGUI

The two direct child widgets of the splitter are the vertical frames 
(frame1 and frame2), and you want to set the height of the top frame 
(frame1) to be 500 pixels; so instead of this:

     text1.setHeight 500

you need this:

     frame1.setHeight 500

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Thanks, that did the trick!

What about when you need the splitter to give _equal_ space to each child -
but you don't know how much that is to start, or how much it will be later?

I'm looking for something like a FXMatrix widget with PACK_UNIFORM_WIDTH and
the children with LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y.

Can you make the FXMatrix widget dynamically resizable by the user -
something like FXSplitter is?
