[ZooLib-dev] Tab panels and splitters

[Mark A. <all...@la...>]

Hello All,

I'm having difficulty with ZoolLib tab panels and splitters. In the case of
tab panels, I can't get them to appear properly (tabs missing on MacOS and
tabs drawn as buttons on Windows).  Further, I can't get the tab buttons to
respond to mouse clicks on Windows.  In the case of splitter, when I click
on the divider it is highlighted but moving the mouse does not mive the
divider.

Thanks for the help

Cheers
-Mark

Mark,
To add a splitter you need to do the following:

1. Create in window constructor.

myWindow::myWindow(ZApp* inApp)
:    ZWindow(inApp, sCreateOSWindow(inApp))

..snip..
    fSplitter1 = ZUIFactory::sGet()->Make_Splitter( fToolbarPane, this );
    
    fSplitter1->GetPanes( fPanel1Pane, fPanel2Pane );
    fSplitter1->AddResponder(this);
..snip..

2. Make sure you size properly using the GetPaneSize method.

bool myWindow::GetPaneSize(ZSubPane* inPane, ZPoint& outSize)

..snip..
    if( inPane == fSplitter1 )
        {
        outSize = fToolbarPane->GetSize();
        outSize -= fToolbarPane->GetToolbarOffset();
        }

3. Make sure you set the location properly using the GetPaneLocation method.

bool myWindow::GetPaneLocation(ZSubPane* inPane, ZPoint& outLocation)

..snip..
    if( inPane == fSplitter1 )
        {
        outLocation = fToolbarPane->GetToolbarOffset();
        }
        
4. Make sure you support the pane properties using the GetPaneAttribute
method.

bool myWindow::GetPaneAttribute(ZSubPane* inPane, const string& inAttribute,
void* inParam, void* outResult)

..snip..
    if( inPane == fSplitter1 )
        {
        if( inAttribute == "ZUISplitter::Orientation" )
            {
            (*(bool*)outResult) = false;
            return( true );
            }
        else
        if( inAttribute == "ZUISplitter::SizePane1" )
            {
            (*(ZCoord*)outResult) = fPanel1PaneSize;
            return( true );
            }
        }

5. Make sure you support the SplitterChanged method.

void myWindow::SplitterChanged(ZUISplitter* inSplitter, ZCoord
inNewPane1Size, ZCoord inNewPane2Size)

..snip..
    if( inSplitter == fSplitter1 )
        {
        inSplitter->FramePreChange();
        fPanel1PaneSize = inNewPane1Size;
        inSplitter->FramePostChange();
        }
        



Hope this helps.
