Re: formattedHeight and scrollbars
Hi, I was having some issues with formattedTextHeight and came across this post. I looked at your revlet and it suggested some things that solved my problem. Thank you for that! I wondered if you would be willing to send me the LC stack you made this revlet from. It would be very useful to have as a reference when I run into these kinds of problems again (and when I'm not online). Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Howard Bornstein --- www.designeq.com On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 3:37 PM, BNig niggem...@uni-wh.de wrote: Hi Claus, I made a little revlet that shows what impacts the formattedHeight of a field: http://berndniggemann.on-rev.com/marginsrevlet/ among other things the scrollbars and their size furthermor the margins, the borderwith the textsize and the textheight.

Re: formattedHeight and scrollbars
Fixed with 4.6.0-dp-6. http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=9404 We can now use the formattedHeight (or Width) reliably to decide if a field needs scrollbars or not. Regards, Claus.

Re: formattedHeight and scrollbars
Hi, Am 17.02.11 01:02, schrieb dunb...@aol.com: A fun revlet. Indeed! The way you made it, it can be seen that a horizontal scrollbar not only takes up its own height, but intrudes that amount into the lower part of the field as well. That is why it takes twice its height from the formattedHeight. The height of the filed does not change, so either you subtract the scrollbarwidth from the height of the field, or you add the scrollbarwidth to the formattedHeight to get the height needed by an object to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary). I don't think you can do both. (Well at least if you are no banker or politician or something like hat :- ) Example: - Start Bernds Revlet - set textHeight to 11 - set textSize to 1 - gives you formattedHeight of 70 - The height of the field is 78 (i checked with Bernd) - The difference of 8 pixel (78-70) is the free space below the text - Now set the scrollbarWidth to 8 - enable the hScrollbar - The 8 pixel scrollbar takes the place of that free space - *BUT* the formattedHeight is now 86, which implies that you need additional 8 pixel to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary). This is just not true. the height needed by an object to display its full contents without scrolling (Dictionary) is 80, Bernds Revlet demonstrates it clearly. Or, where in the above did i go wrong?
