I think that the final decision as to where to open the drawer is made by the OS, at least for Carbon drawers. NSDrawer has a method that can be used to force a drawer to open where you want. It is possible that one could figure out how to make this happen in Carbon as well.

I got a chance to play with this more this morning. It works well with multiple drawer windows off of the main window. I just have one last question for you... Is there a way to make sure that the window opens on the side specified, regardless of how close the main windows is to the edge of the screen? Right now I have two drawer windows, one for the left and one for the right side of the main window. If the main windows is too close to the left side of the screen, the left drawer will open on the right side of the main window, even if the right side drawer is open. With REALbasic's showwithin property, it will force the window to open on the side specified, regardless of how close the main windows is from the edge of the screen.

Thank you very much for the drawer window class!

I looks like this works great! Will this allow you to have multiple drawers open at the same time on different sides of the same window?

I have a program that uses three different drawer windows, one on the left, one at the bottom and then one on the right. I have them set with the ShowWithin command so that they always appear on the side that I want them to be. Everything worked find until a while ago. Now if I move the main window around when any of the drawers are visible, the drawers seem to resize themselves randomly. Is this a bug with REALbasic (2006r1) or with Mac OS 10.4.6? Is there any known workaround? This is going to drive me nuts!


You might try the drawer code in the Code section of my web site <http://www.declareSub.com/>.

I don't know; my code certainly wasn't written with that in mind. If it is possible to attach more than one drawer to a window, then I expect my code could be modified to do it.
