j2s-development] About binding DIV elements as SWT's Multiple Monitors

[Zhou R. <jo...@sj...>]

Hi,

I know native SWT 3.1 is not supporting multiple monitors. But SWT 3.2 
or future version may support multiple monitors.

In HTML DOM mode, <DIV> elements can be considered as blocks with 
position and size. If we treat DIV element as a monitor in browser. We 
can have multiple monitors for SWT!

If we are not in the purpose of multiple monitors, we can also have our 
SWT application embeded inside a DIV block of normal HTML page. Please 
visit http://j2s.sourceforge.net/, the ControlExample is running inside 
a DIV monitors. I think that is cool.

Currently, we choose document.body as the primary monitor when running 
as "Java2Script Application" in browser. But maybe Java2Script SWT 
applications running as DIV block embed applications should be right way.

What is your opinions about how "Java2Script SWT Application" will be 
run as? Standalone? Embed? Workbench (JavaScript version of  RCP)?

Regards

===================
By the way, there are some codes in the SVN repository
Display.java:
protected static void registerElementAsMonitor(Element el);
something like:
    if (el == document.body) {
        monitor.clientWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
        monitor.clientHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
        monitor.x = 0;
        monitor.y = 0;
        monitor.width = window.screen.availWidth;
        monitor.height = window.screen.availHeight;
    } else {
        Point pt = OS.getElementPositionInShell(el, document.body);
        el.style.position = "absolute";
        monitor.x = pt.x;
        monitor.y = pt.y;
        monitor.width = monitor.clientWidth = OS.getContainerWidth(el);
        monitor.height = monitor.clientHeight = OS.getContainerHeight(el);
    }
