Is there a way to set the default size of a RectControl subclass?
What I mean is say I subclass BevelButton to make
MySpecificBevelButton. Is there any for me to set the size that
appears when I drag (or double click) to put an instance of
MySpecificBevelButton in a window (or container control)?
Wouldn't it be the desired size if it was already inside a
ContainerControl that was pre-defined?
Does that not lose somethings ,,, for example setting and seeing the
caption on the Window visually ?
In any case not everybody has RB Pro.
If not, maybe for RectControl subclasses, Shared DefaultWidth and
DefaultHeight properties could be added that appear in the
property pane of the project tab? These could control the default
sizes for new instances.
I think that's asking a bit much but you could make a Feature
Request for it. I doubt if it would happen though. For normal
subclasses of controls, it would be a stretch as most people want
to define individual properties for Clones (Control arrays) and the
like. The majority of code, of course, would be identical in most
subclasses.
What you are missing is it helps a lot in doing consistent layout...
but I don't need to request it... in the forum that we already have
the feature...
You can set the defaults for the properties of a class using the
Property List Behavior dialog!
try it ... Subclass any RectContol the in the project pane right
click on it and set the width and height defaults... then drag it
onto the window... The instance honors them and of course you can
still resize it (which was my original intent BTW)
