Hi Harbs and Alex,
trying an implementation of "inheritWidth" function
public function setInheritWidth(noEvent:Boolean = false):void
{
setWidth(NaN);//we need _width = NaN
COMPILE::JS
{
this.positioner.style.width = null;//remove style.width after setWidth sets
_width to "NaNpx" for JS
}
}
results in usage like this:
if(condition) {
button.width = 200;
} else {
button.setInheritWidth();
}
Two things I don't like from this solution:
1.- *I loose ternary operato**rs*. I mean expressions like: *button.width
= **condition ? 200 : NaN;*
2.- *Lose opportunity to do binding in MXML*. I mean expressions like:
*button.width
= "{condition ? 200 : NaN}"*
3.- *Duplicating `style.width` instruction*. In setWidth the
positioner.style.width is set to "NaNpx" then we reach the
"setInheritWidth" to remove to null. No collateral problems, but just seems
poor code.
As well the meaning of this solution does not end to satisfy my since we
are really not inherit the value but setting it to a default value (imposed
just by JS platform).
As well other option was "*sizeWidthToContent*" that seems to have problems
1.- and 2.- (at least, but maybe 3.- too) and be a concrete use case
solution, I mean, not an API to get a value set, that is what I expect here
(and suppose other users too).
Thoughts?
