Quick tests of demos 085 OK
quick work with designer KO, needs a lot of job seems.
(Especially multilevel menus are beautiful, could you add the feature - highlightning item under mouse in move - also into the combobox+ listbox ?)
I'll do 085 tuning per partes as time permit, package 'll has a growing number of files, and placed on 4shared.Every new update will be messaged.
(I bought own domain a half year back, but still empty; if you prefer private eyes on tuned 085 alpha pack - moving it there, just to say..).
Today - StringGadget is going, it has the same trouble as 084 - fix OK.

I want to enable ComboBoxLong; founded function GetTextWidth(txt as string, mode as integer=0) as integer; TO_GetlongestLine is the same - OK,
but How is defined 'mode' & its usage? (clear text=char*8, monospaced, proportional ?? - needed for correct tuning of gad->Ctrl(0) and BoxWidth)

edit
Founded - fontMode MUST be passed rightly & known

with GetTextWidth() u get the width of a string in pixel.
if mode is 0 it trials to calculate the width of the text with the proportional font.
in mode 1 same with monospaced font.

Hmm, I don't see needed function somelike 'GetLongestLineText' for ComboBoxLong (good for shorter lists.)
But for thousands items in a list seems more suitable/quicker way to add new variable for
'type TextObject extends node' e.g.longestlineID-I-Offset-or similar name and of course
to remember position in list, when longestline is changed

Code: Select all

extends node' auskommentieren
  private:
    cursor     as TextMark        'Hmmm ;)

    firstline  as TextLine ptr    'Zeiger auf erste Zeile
    lastline   as TextLine ptr    'Zeiger auf letzte Zeile
    longestline as integer        '
    longestlineID as integer       
(...)

IDK what is better way.

written function 'TO_GetLongestLineIndex(gadXY)', so now is known an ofset of longest text item in the list
(and text of this line therefore too).
Seeing on "Demo Combobox.bas", still it is unclear to me, what 'commander' directly sets a font mode for touched gadget.
Logically I await it as a new sGUI global parameter and gadget parameter.

Code: Select all

sGUI.fontMode			'new sGUI global parameter
gadgetXY->fontMode		'new gadget parameter
And when is needed to pass another font type to gadget (for better look/contrast etc.) - this is optional gadget header parameter passed there.

Code: Select all

dim as Gadget ptr cb=AddComboBox(event,10,50,160,93,fontModeXY)
(...)
'or on another place in use
gadgetXY->fontMode=fontModeXY
UpdateGadget(gadgetXY)
So howto discover a mode value ?

ComboBoxLong would be done, but two things :(
1/ there is different construction of Cbox I see - its width is decreased, IMO minus 2*minspace ??
so longestline text item is not completely displayed.
2/ value of 'GetTextWidth' for mode 0 and clear text (char=8 px) looks wrong,longestline text item is displayed badly (much shorter)
? GetTextWidth(longestLineText,1), 'OK value
? GetTextWidth(longestLineText,0) 'bad value ?? or bad font mode catched >> correct font mode parameter passing question is important for properly enabled ComboboxLong

Code: Select all

function TO_GetLongestLineIndex(gad as _Gadget ptr) as integer
  function=0
dim as integer numlines,ll,llMax
dim as string tlineText
  
numlines=gad->TObject->GetLines 
llMax=TO_GetLongestLine(gad)
if llMax>0 then
'? "numlines ";numlines
    for i as integer=1 to numlines
		tlineText=gad->TObject->GetLineContent(i)
'		? tlineText
		ll=len(tlineText)
			if ll=llMax then
'				? ll,tlineText
				function=i		
				exit for
			end if  
    next i
end if      
end function

Ok step by step:

there existing 2 internal "slots" to load a bitmap font: FontA,FontB.
FontB will allways displayed as a fixed/monospaced font, independently, what kind of bitmap font was loaded.

When a slot is emtpy the standard fb font appear instead.

U can create your own bitmap font with my font utility "charset2fbfont", should run under linux too. It converts .ttf/.otf to bmp.

FontB(monospaced) is for MultiLineEditBox,StringGadget,ListBox and ComboBox. In these controls its easier to calculate text/char posistions when all chars are having a
fixed width.

with function GetFixedWidth yout get exactly this from FontB
With sub SetFixedWidth() you can modify FontB, works only when a bitmap font was loaded

now to your problem:
take a look at Listbox.bas and Listbox_Basis.bas. Ok, there is a lot of stuff for the trashcan, i will clean that soon... :)
i had the reverse problem: how many chars can i display in a given width for the miniselector.

width of entry box (without scrollbar) = full width - 15
number of monospaced chars =int( (width of entry box - 2*minspace)/GetFixedWidth )

Thanks for this help info!
Looks the font joyride 'll be the last thing in tuning, many tests needed..
(e.g. I saw strange behavior with 'SetFixedWidth()' when increasing its value - result was bigger spaces in a string, but not letters 'a-z')

085 Demo-ListBox1 + Demo-Font + Demo-toggle tried, just caught a possible problem ...
IDK if I have deleted folder 'Ubuntu/Ubuntu-R', but when this is invoked e.g. LoadProportionalFont("Ubuntu\Ubuntu-R\Ubuntu-R.bmp")
(and it's non-existing by any reason), user has no warning about it.
It's bad if I call a font file, which I don't have in the folder and no warnings obtained...
So there would be good to add a routines for
- list of available fonts and its files
- unloading fontfile
- check existency of fontfile
And modifying fontloading routines to detect missing fontfile and report it to user, if this is called.( LoadProportionalFont(),
LoadFixedFont() )

(BTW also I see missing help (F1 with messageBox, or direct print to screen ?) in some demos, where keypresses of concrete buttons
are awaited in control loop).

Tested 'Demo-CheckmarkGagdet' (no tuning needed for now) and got memories what I want to have in 084
It's only tip - to add new parameter e.g. 'whatFirst' =T default or L as label.It means its design
- TickBox drawn as first, or Label drawn as first

If you want resizable MultiLineEditor, just it needs to add one more element gadget - square with '+' sign
(or similar - rhomboid..) on free place in editor (right bottom corner)

Ya, perfect!
Maybe someone would ask for text rounding, when text is first, e.g. in field of checkgads,
but I am not a friend of holes in GUI design and this, if really needed, can be done with text array of fixed length.

Label+Demo is up, all is in one routine (084 LabelBackgrounded).There is one line of unknown sense (gad->putbackround->img) for me,
you have changes in it, so test it&fix by your new control flow.. ;)

Yess, and 2 rows before we save the complete Screen in gfxbackup.
i think same in MessageBox.
my goal was a dimmed Screen when FR or MB is open
