Having real problems getting the floating panel to be the right size and
position! If I don't do anything in this regard everything works fine, but I
have a large floating panel with my drop down list in one corner. I tried
the following code to make the panel the size I needed:-
class DDLPanel(dPanel):
def afterInit(self):
codes, keys = self.Parent.Parent.PrimaryBizobj.getAccountCodes()
self.AccountCodeDDL = dabo.ui.dListBox(self, Width=60, Height=200,
Left=250, Top=25, ValueMode="Key", Choices = codes, Keys = keys,
OnHit=self.codeDDLClick)
wd, ht = self.AccountCodeDDL.Size
self.Size = (wd+10, ht+10)
self.Position = (5,5)
self.Parent.Visible = True
self.AccountCodeDDL.Visible = True
def codeDDLClick(self, evt):
self.Parent.Parent.PrimaryBizobj.moveToPK(self.AccountCodeDDL.Value)
self.Parent.Parent.update()
self.hide()
Now I get a nicely sized panel - but the drop down list does not appear on
it. I have a feeling that the larger panel may still be there, but I am
showing only part of it and my dropdown list is on the part that is not
showing - any clues please?
