Detailed Description

A Grid is a table of window objects which can be freely set

Package to load : lib/2dos/grid.pkg

Function Documentation

_CRgridCreate	(	chn	,
		iLines	,
		iCols	,
		iWidthCell	,
		iHeightCell	,
		iSpacing
	)

Create an empty Grid object.

It allows to create a grid of window object (ObjWin) with a customized settings. In fact, each cell can provide a window or keep empty. All cells have the same size.

By default, no parent window is set. If needed, use _SETgridParent.

You can change the parent window as you want : thus, on a same grid, you put the cells on several levels and keep an homogeneous interface.

By default, the grid is at the position (0,0). Use _MOVEgrid to set it.

Prototype : fun [Chn I I I I I] Grid

Parameters

Chn	: the channel where the Grid is created
I	: the number of lines (> 0)
I	: the number of columns (> 0)
I	: the cell width (>0)
I	: the cell height (>0)
I	: the spacing (the space between each cell, >= 0)

Returns

Grid : The new Grid object or nil if an error occurs (null channel or bad settings)

Warning

The 4th and 5th parameters : the width and the height of one CELL, not of the grid !

See Also

_SETgridParent

_MOVEgrid

_GETgridCell

_SETgridParent	(	grid	,
		oParent
	)

Set the current parent window.

See Also

_CRgridCreate for more informations about the parent window.

Prototype : fun [Grid ObjWin] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
ObjWin	: a window or nil (no parent window)

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

_GETgridCell	(	grid	,
		iLine	,
		iCol
	)

Get the window object cell.

Any 2d object can be added in this window object, as any window object.

If no window is defined for this cell yet, it will be automatically created when this function is called.

See Also

_REMOVEgridCell to remove the window object.

_SETgridFlag to set the creation's flags.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I] ObjWin

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: a line (the first line is 0)
I	: a column (the first column is 0)

Returns

ObjWin : The window object or nil if an error occurs

_MOVEgrid	(	grid	,
		iPosX	,
		iPosY
	)

Move the grid.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: the new x coordinate
I	: the new y coordinate

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

_MOVEgridCell	(	grid	,
		iLine	,
		iCol	,
		iPosX	,
		iPosY
	)

Move a cell in a grid.

Even if the window object comes in another line or column, it keeps linked to its cell.

Thus, you can do as you want but i don't recommend to move beyond the original cell.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I I I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: a line (the first line is 0)
I	: a column (the first column is 0)
I	: the new x coordinate
I	: the new y coordinate

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

See Also

_EXCHANGEgridCell to exhange two cells.

_SIZEgridCell	(	grid	,
		iLine	,
		iCol	,
		iWidth	,
		iHeight
	)

Resize a window cell in a grid.

Even if the window object comes in another line or column, it keeps linked to its cell.

It is recommended to perform a resize by this function than directly with _'SIZEwindow'.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I I I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: a line (the first line is 0)
I	: a column (the first column is 0)
I	: the new width
I	: the new height

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

See Also

_RESETgridCell to reset the size.

_SETgridFlag	(	grid	,
		iFlags
	)

Set the flags of cell when they created.

They are the same flags than for the window : http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_crwindow.html

All created cell after this call will have these flags. By default, WN_NORMAL is used.

This function can be called as often as needed.

See Also

_GETgridCell to get/create the window object.

_SETgridCellFlag to set the cell flags.

Prototype : fun [Grid I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: flags

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

_SETgridCellFlag	(	grid	,
		iLine	,
		iCol	,
		iFlags
	)

Set the flags for a cell.

They are the same flags than for the window : http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_crwindow.html

Warning

Like _SETwindowStyle, all combinations can no work (by example, WN_NORMAL from the start can not be modified to WN_CHILDINSIDE).

If no window defined in this cell, this function returns also nil.

See Also

_SETgridCellFlagForce to force some changes.

_GETgridCell to get/create the window object.

_SETgridCellFlag to set the cell flags.

_SETwindowStyle http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_SETwindowStyle.html This is the same thing but it is strongly recommended to use _SETgridCellFlag instead of _SETwindowStyle.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: a line (the first line is 0)
I	: a column (the first column is 0)
I	: flags

Returns

Grid : The same Grid object or nil if an error occurs

_SETgridCellFlagForce	(	grid	,
		iLine	,
		iCol	,
		iFlags
	)

Force the flags for a cell.

They are the same flags than for the window : http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_crwindow.html

Deprecated:

This function does nothing now and always returns the same given Grid object. Instead of this, use _REMOVEgridCell and _GETgridCell.

Prototype : fun [Grid I I I] Grid

Parameters

Grid	: a Grid object
I	: a line (the first line is 0)
