- James & others,
-
- I agree with the need for scaleable views (in fact, we've implemented that
- modification to MacApp since 1.0). Similarly, we have found a need for a
- position determiner as declared below:
-
- PosDeterminer =
- (PositionFixed, { no changes when super resized }
- PositionRelSuperView, { moved relative, when superview resized}
- PositionProportSuperView,{ moved in proportion to superview resizing}
- PositionVariable); { user-defined}
-
- For example, we have sizeable windows that contain grids of numeric values and
- totals for the grid at the bottom of the window. The changes to MacApp were
- pretty simple, but we didn't change the resource definition of views because
- the positions of those values are important.
-
- I have no idea what PositionProportSuperView is good for, but we added it "just
- in case".
-
- It would be great to have had position determiner implemented in MacApp, and
- I'd like to offer it as a suggestion for post-2.0. Possibility?
-
