In general: I want to set a property in the Box objects, depending on all previously set objects..
My goal is to place the boxes one after another, for this I keep a variable in Box object. It seems like the easiest way to accumulate the sizes of boxes that are already placed. In the 'then' clause, I set the box location, and update the X by adding the size of the currently placed box. 2009/8/8 Wolfgang Laun <[email protected]>: > Your goal and the presented code aren't clear to me.
