RE: Another splitter question
Hi Kirk, Yes, I already was afraid this would be the final conclusion☹ I know I can set splitter_2 and listbox_2 and listbox_3 by setting the coordinates of the objects while moving splitter_1 (in on clicked event) I also know I can assign a value to splitter_2 and then the other objects react on this assignment while moving splitter_1 (in on clicked) My problem with this is that I find it to be not very intuitive I get all kinds of unexpected sizing and moving of the objects Gr, Piotr Van: Kirk Brooks Verzonden: Thursday, 26 September 2019 15:39 Aan: Piotr Chabot Stadhouders Onderwerp: Re: Another splitter question Piotr, On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 12:57 AM Piotr Chabot Stadhouders mailto:p.stadhoud...@timeff.com>> wrote: However, in this case what I want is : - when I move splitter_1 I want listbox_2 and splitter_2 to MOVE and listbox_3 to resize - when I move splitter_2 I want listbox_2 and listbox_3 to resize I don't think 4D will do that natively. When you move splitter 1 it causes listbox 2 to resize but the resize 'flag' (no idea if that's the actual mechanism) is not passed on to splitter 2 or listbox 3. So it only affects listbox 2. Conversely when you resize the form itself, making it larger for example, only listbox 3 is affected. What you want would be a sort of auto-distribute resize option. That's something different and more complicated. If this is a super critical feature you simply must have I think you will need to manage it yourself using the On resize form event. I've done that sort of thing a couple of times. It's tedious but possible. If the number of items is not great, and it sounds like it's not, the performance is not affected too much. -- Kirk Brooks San Francisco, CA === What can be said, can be said clearly, and what you can’t say, you should shut up about Wittgenstein and the Computer ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
RE: Another splitter question
Hi Kirk, Thanks for your answer. The way you describe the properties is the way I set them, and then listbox_2 is resized when splitter_1 is moved. (Pusher property is off) This most of the time is the wanted behavior. However, in this case what I want is : - when I move splitter_1 I want listbox_2 and splitter_2 to MOVE and listbox_3 to resize - when I move splitter_2 I want listbox_2 and listbox_3 to resize Gr, Piotr -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Kirk Brooks Verzonden: Wednesday, 25 September 2019 17:18 Aan: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Onderwerp: Re: Another splitter question Piotr, listbox_1 | listbox_2 | listbox_3 listbox_1: horizontal resize = grow; vertical resize= grow (I assume) splitter_1: horizontal resize = none; vertical resize= grow listbox_2: horizontal resize = grow; vertical resize= grow splitter_2: horizontal resize = none; vertical resize= grow listbox_3: horizontal resize = grow; vertical resize= grow Notes: Be sure the splitters start before the top of the listbox and end after the listbox.

Another splitter question
Hi, I have a form with three listboxes on it, with in between 2 vertical splitters I want to accomplish the following, preferably only by setting object properties : When I move the left splitter the left listbox must size, the middle listbox + right splitter must move, and the right listbox must size When I move the right splitter the middle and right listbox must size (the left splitter + listbox must stay as is) I am having troubles to find a (good) way to accomplish this Anybody any tips?
