Hello all, Since I have to place a Fl_File_Chooser somewhere on a second monitor, it's the time for dealing with position issue. Some search on fltk.org told me the position issue has been happily solved in fltk 2.0 by a new show(int x, int y) method (http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L226). Unfortunately, I use 1.1.7 or 1.1.8 version and there is little chance to shift to fltk2 in near future. Is there any new wiser trick to cope with the Fl_File_Chooser position issue in this versions of fltk?
On the forums I found only one code-providing answer, that is... http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.general+v:11372 I tried to implement it on my app with the code [myapp.h] ---------------------------------------------- class File_Picker : public Fl_File_Chooser { private: Fl_Window *_win; private: Fl_File_Input *_in; public: File_Picker(const char *d, const char *p, int t, const char *title) ; ~File_Picker(); void show(); void position(int x, int y); int x(); int y(); }; ---------------------------------------------- [myapp.cxx] ---------------------------------------------- File_Picker::File_Picker(const char *d, const char *p, int t, const char *title) : Fl_File_Chooser(d, p, t, title) { //// This code implements a derived Fl_File_Chooser class //// whose screen position can be controled _win = dynamic_cast<Fl_Window*>(newButton->parent()->parent()); _in = dynamic_cast<Fl_File_Input *>(previewButton->parent()->parent()->resizable()); } File_Picker::~File_Picker() { } void File_Picker::show() { if(_win){ _win->show(); if(_in) _in->take_focus(); else _win->take_focus(); } else Fl_File_Chooser::show(); } void File_Picker::position(int x, int y) { if(_win) _win->position(x,y); } int File_Picker::x() { if(_win) return _win->x(); else return 100; } int File_Picker::y() { if(_win) return _win->y(); else return 100; } ---------------------------------------------- All seems ok, but if I try to substitute in myapp.cxx the original declaration "static Fl_File_Chooser *my_chooser = NULL;" with "static Fl_Picker *my_chooser = NULL;" the code miserably fails the g++ test with "error: expected initializer before â*â token", while a simpler "Fl_Picker *my_chooser = NULL;" gives just a slightly different... "error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before â*â token". on the same line. Did I get something wrong? Thank you for your answers. Z.B.
