Re: [flexcoders] Re: how can I get a popupButton's popUp to resize while popped up?
Thanks, Tim. Knew there must be something, just couldn't find it.
I found this to be a good way to do it, as long as I'm not missing
something:
gr.validateSize(true);
var verticalGap:Number = grid.getStyle(verticalGap);
grid.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, grid.width + gr.measuredWidth,
grid.height + gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap));
This seems more right, though if you add some big numbers to height and
width it will always auto-calc them. But I found if you add numbers that
are too small, you wind up with it chopped off a bit.

Add an id:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: how can I get a popupButton's popUp to resize while popped up?
C'mon, Tim, your posts help me loads of times and you don't even realize
it. My #1 place to go for searching for answers to tough problems is my
flexcoders archive and your name pops up a lot with the answer! And
RowColorDataGrid was a lifesaver.
Okay, back to the topic. Just realized that there's a little something
missing. If you have the popupButton on the bottom of the window so that it
causes the popup to appear ABOVE it, then the code above glitches in that it
makes the window grow down and cover the popupbutton. Here's a fix:
gr.validateSize(true);
var verticalGap:Number = grid.getStyle(verticalGap);
grid.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, grid.width + gr.measuredWidth,
grid.height + gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap));
if (grid.y myPopupButton.y)
grid.y -= gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 : verticalGap);
To see this in action in the above example, set the application
layout=absolute and the myPopupButton bottom=0.
Of course, when you add so many categories that it gets taller than the
window its in, then you're screwed! You'd have to implement your own don't
grow when bigger than this and turn on scrollbars instead logic. Luckily I
don't need that right now.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: how can I get a popupButton's popUp to resize while popped up?
I should know better by now to never declare victory until you tried your
test app solution in your REAL app.
A problem occured that if your popupbutton is embedded in another control,
the y value will no longer be in the same frame of reference as the popup,
which is no a child of the same control as the popupbutton. So this may not
be the BEST way to do it, but it works:
gr.validateSize(true);
var verticalGap:Number = grid.getStyle(verticalGap);
grid.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, grid.width + gr.measuredWidth,
grid.height + gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap));
if (grid.localToGlobal(new Point(0, 0)).y grid.owner.localToGlobal(new
Point(0, 0)).y)
grid.y -= gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 : verticalGap);

And
RowColorDataGrid was a lifesaver.
Okay, back to the topic. Just realized that there's a little
something
missing. If you have the popupButton on the bottom of the window
so
that it
causes the popup to appear ABOVE it, then the code above glitches
in
that it
makes the window grow down and cover the popupbutton. Here's a
fix:
gr.validateSize(true);
var verticalGap:Number = grid.getStyle(verticalGap);
grid.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, grid.width +
gr.measuredWidth,
grid.height + gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap));
if (grid.y myPopupButton.y)
grid.y -= gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap);
To see this in action in the above example, set the application
layout=absolute and the myPopupButton bottom=0.
Of course, when you add so many categories that it gets taller
than
the
window its in, then you're screwed! You'd have to implement your
own
don't
grow when bigger than this and turn on scrollbars instead logic.
Luckily I
don't need that right now.

Yep, that looks great. I thought about all of that, but knew
that
you'd
tweak it to get what you needed. Glad that I could finally help
you
out
with something Jason.

Thanks, Tim. Knew there must be something, just couldn't find
it.
I found this to be a good way to do it, as long as I'm not
missing
something:
gr.validateSize(true);
var verticalGap:Number = grid.getStyle(verticalGap);
grid.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, grid.width +
gr.measuredWidth,
grid.height + gr.measuredHeight + (isNaN(verticalGap) ? 0 :
verticalGap));
This seems more right, though if you add some big numbers to
height
and
width it will always auto-calc them. But I found if you add
numbers
that
are too small, you wind up with it chopped off a bit.

Hi Jason,
Put this at the end of addCategory():
myPopupButton.popUp.scrollRect =
*new* Rectangle(0, 0, myPopupButton.popUp.width,
myPopupButton.popUp.height + 30);
Add an id:
PopUpButton id=myPopupButton openAlways=true
This will trick the popup into redrawing.

Hi Jason,
Put this at the end of addCategory():
myPopupButton.popUp.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0,
myPopupButton.popUp.width, myPopupButton.popUp.height + 30);
Add an id:
PopUpButton id=myPopupButton openAlways=true
This will trick the popup into redrawing.

I want to be able to click the popupButton, click the Add Category

and have the popped up window resize right then so you can see
everything.
Is there a good way (or even an ok way) to do this?
