[Closed] rollout controls question

Jan 08, 2014 12:01 am

Using a simple rollout button as an example

rollout RO "Rollout"
(
  button btn "Button" width:100
)
createDialog RO

RO.btn.name
RO.btn.text
RO.btn.pos
RO.btn.width

Everything else there works, but the last line throws an error. So, is there any way to get/set the width of a rollout control like that after the dialog is created?

Some controls can, but not ‘button’. Use a dotnet button instead if you need this functionality.

Yup. This works

try(DestroyDialog ::RO)catch()
rollout RO "Rollout"
(
	fn dnClr r g b = ((dotNetClass "System.Drawing.Color").FromArgb r g b)
	dotNetControl btn "Button" pos:[5,5] width:100 height:20
	on ro open do
	(
		btn.text = "test_button"
		btn.backcolor = dnClr 150 20 20
		btn.forecolor = dnClr 220 220 220
		btn.FlatStyle = btn.FlatStyle.Flat
		btn.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0
	)
)
createDialog RO 110 30 style:#(#style_titlebar, #style_sysmenu, #style_toolwindow)

/*
-- test with this
RO.btn.text = "my_button"
RO.btn.pos = [0,0]
RO.btn.width = RO.width
RO.btn.height = RO.height
