Re: [Lesstif-discuss] label alignment on menus when toggles arepresent

[Dave Williss]

I hope you don't mind HTML email, but I want to be able to highlight something below.  (I know some people hate HTML email) OK, I found it.  The thing that made it so hard to find was that it computes a left margin, but to save memory, stores it in kid_geometry->margin_top. The fix to the problem is to change rcutils.c around 908 to...    /* Note: margin_top is really left margin and is used to     * line up menu items which have toggle buttons with     * items that don't.     */     _XmConfigureObject(kid,             kid_geometry->box.x + kid_geometry->margin_top,             kid_geometry->box.y,             kid_geometry->box.width + kid_geometry->margin_top,             kid_geometry->box.height,             kid_geometry->box.border_width); Adding margin_top (which is really left margin) to the width seems counter-intuitive to me, but without it, menu items which are pull-right don't line up correctly.  If this ends up breaking anything else, it could probably be changed to only do it if the RowColumn is a menu pane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Backx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dave Williss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "LessTif Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 1:34 PM Subject: Re: [Lesstif-discuss] label alignment on menus when toggles arepresent > Dave, > > The code that moves the text is visible e.g. in the resize function > in lib/Xm-2.1/ToggleB.c where Lab_TextRect_x(w) gets set. > > This really implies that the superclass (XmLabel) does all the work > of drawing the text, and has sufficient support so XmToggleButton > can get away with that; and Toggle only takes care of the position > calculation and drawing the indicator. > > For your information, there's similar interaction between XmLabel > and XmPushButton for accelerators.
