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 ?
Don't you still see it if you drag it from the browser pane's
Project Controls?
If you want to be able to set it and see it in the layout window you
would need to be able to set the subcontrol's property in the
property pane of the layout window and have it take effect
immediately. Can that be done?
I thought the code in computed properties (the only way I know of to
expose the properties of subcontrol in the properties pane of a
container control subclass instance) woudl not excecute at design time.
In any case not everybody has RB Pro.
Weren't you talking about fixed default settings a minute ago?
Settable DEFAULTS. A default value does not imply that I want.need it
to be unchnagebale at deagin time... I just want it to be the
default! ;)
And, although ContainerControl is currently a Pro-only feature (to
much dismay), you were the one that mentioned it.
Actually you did when you said:

ContainerControl that was pre-defined?
And I was responding to that.
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...

So, as 'Wendy's' states,"Where's the beef?". You just answered you
own questions about the subject of the message.
I must be going insane!
No, I just don't type full sentences sometimes ... My part above was
meant to read:

layout... but I don't need to request it... Someone in the forum
told me that we already have the feature...
I had also posted the same question in the forum and someone gave me
the answer and I was sharing it here just in case anybody else
wanted to do the same thing.
