RE: [Plib-devel] puSlider

[Fay J. F C. AAC/W. <joh...@eg...>]

You have to specify the "vertical=FALSE" when you want to specify the width,
even with the overloaded constructors.  Steve is right, one constructor
would be sufficient in that regard.  Handling the "width=-1" option will
take a bit of coding in the call to the "puObject" constructor but is
certainly feasible.

I agree that neither of the other two options I presented is optimal.  I
just wanted to make sure we had considered all the alternatives.

Personally, I wouldn't have overloaded the constructor at all.

I'd probably have done this:

   puSlider ( int minx, int miny, int sz, int vertical = FALSE, int width =
-1 )
 
...and then had this constructor simply treat width==-1 to mean "whatever
height fits the text"...or whatever it means now.

That forces you to say that you want a horizontal slider if you also want to
set the width - but that doesn't seem too much of a chore to me.

Hmm - I don't like any of those things.
