 Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 2:43 pm Post subject: To change order of dialog elements |
 |
|
Hi 
Is there a way of changing the order of dialog elements while an application is executed? An example, it's not the same thing:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Test1,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,back,39,37,50,25,FF8040,BLACK,,RECTANGLE
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,hello,44,48,,,hello
DIALOG SHOW |
like this:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Test2,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,hello,44,48,,,hello
DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,back,39,37,50,25,FF8040,BLACK,,RECTANGLE
DIALOG SHOW |
Using API?
Thanks in advance

uVeDeSe,
Wouldn't it be the same as doing a DIALOG HIDE on the TEXT element?
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,Test1,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,back,39,37,50,25,FF8040,BLACK,,RECTANGLE
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,hello,44,48,,,hello
DIALOG SHOW
DIALOG HIDE,hello
wait 5
DIALOG SHOW,hello

dragonsphere,
el problema es más difícil de resolver:
Si tengo un formulario de una base de datos, los elementos EDIT (campos de registros) deben estar en un orden, de manera que usando la tecla TAB pasemos de un campo a otro.
Si quiero cambiar el estilo (fuente, tamaño de fuente,...) de un elemento EDIT tengo que eliminarlo y crearlo de nuevo cambiando, por tanto, el orden anterior.
-----------oo---------
dragonsphere,
the problem that I raise is more difficult to resolve:
If I have a form of a database, the EDIT elements (fields of reg) must be in an order, in order that using the TAB key let's be able happen from one field to other one.
If I want to change the STYLE (font, size font...) of an EDIT element I have to remove it and to create it again, altering then the previous order |

What about:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Test1,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,back1,39,37,50,25,FF8040,BLACK,,RECTANGLE
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,hello1,44,48,22,13,hello
DIALOG ADD,LINE,LINE1,0,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,hello2,44,48,22,13,hello
DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,back3,39,37,50,25,FF8040,BLACK,,RECTANGLE
DIALOG SHOW
|
And then show and hide line1 as needed.

Yeah I figured that might be the problem you were having but because you used elements other than the Edit element I was not sure what you were trying to do. To be honest with you I have no clue how VDS handles the TAB order. If the VDS Dialog is a regular window and does not do anything outside of the primary message loop you technically should be able to use the SetWindowPos Win32 API to change the Z-Order of each of the elements on the VDS Dialog. However I believe each of the elements would need to have the WS_TABSTOP window style applied to them before SetWindowPos would work? Maybe Jules can give us more information about how TAB orders work with the VDS dialog? Here is a link to the documentation for this API call http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633545.aspx
I have not tried this API to change the Z-Order of VDS dialog elements but I have used it to change the Z-Order of Top level windows and it works to make your VDS dialog Top Most over all other windows open on the desktop.
If I get a chance I will try and test this API function on VDS dialog elements. Using the API function will only work on VDS dialog elements that have a window handle. VDS Text and Bitmap elements would not work since they are not a Windows control and are painted directly on the VDS dialog.

Ok I tried the SetWindowPos API and it does not change the Z-Order of the VDS elements.

At least it seems that all the elements do have the WS_TABSTOP window style but why the dialog does not pay attention to the Z-Order I do not know?

Thank you very much, dragonsphere.
Ok, There is no way easy to do it. I will continue trying, if I can, WS_TABSTOP window style. 
A bad solution stay to remove all elements and re-create it in a good order
