Autoresize with XBPDLG_FRAMESTAT_MAXIMIZED)

[ampandya]

Hi
Can someone please help?

I am using autoresize in getoptions and o:setFrameState(XBPDLG_FRAMESTAT_MAXIMIZED) to maximize the screen which has buttons and browse.

It works but at first it shows the normal size ex. 1024 * 768, and when resized to 1092*1080 it blinks and then resize all the buttons and browse which doest look nice.

sorry forgot to mention, if the screen size is 1024 x 768, and when maximized is used with autoresize, it still blinks up and down and then set up correctly.


Thanks

Which version of eXpress++ are you using?

There was a bug in the resize when minimized in an older version.
I'm not familiar with any problems with maximized.

Can you provide a sample program that demonstrates the problem?

I am using the latest exp20.

please see the code below for dcgetoptions and dcread

DCGETOPTIONS NOWINDOWMENU autoresize;
NOMAXBUTTON ;
NOMINBUTTON ;
WINDOWHEIGHT win_height ;
WINDOWWIDTH win_width;
NOSUPERVISE NOESCAPEKEY;
NOTITLEBAR color tillbgcolour //{225,225,225} NOSUPERVISE NOESCAPEKEYS


DCREAD gui PARENT @ODLG CLEAREVENTS ;
MODAL options getoptions EVAL {|o|o:setFrameState(XBPDLG_FRAMESTAT_MAXIMIZED),(setappwindow(odlg))};


I have buttons on the screen as this is a Epos till system software, and some pages have browse to display the products data.

if its not maximized it shows in the middle of the screen, but i want to cover the full screen. if i dont use autoresize it cover the screen but the buttons and other objects are in the corner when run on the bugger screen (pc). when used with autoresize in the dcgetoptions it works as we want but the problem is when it load the screen blinks 3-4 times and eventually it sets up.

Thanks

I don't think that AUTORESIZE is what you should be using but I cannot tell unless I have the code that creates your screen.

You may want to use the RESIZE clause and give a resize rule to each object.

Look at the sample program \exp20\samples\resize\resize.prg.

It would help if you could post your code that creates the screen or at least a JPG snapshot of the screen (before and after maximize).

Perhaps you can try to use DCGETOPTIONS HIDE and in the EVAL codeblock add a o:show() after the o:setframestate().

I have tried Hide and 0:show()

That doesnt help.

thanks

Hi
I have tried the resize options but it doesnt work well with buttons, my screen have buttons as its ePOS till software.

Roger : Please see the attached images using autoresize and resize. this is just a start up page, the till screen has buttons all over the screen and browse for scanned items.



The software was designed to work with standard screen size 1024,786. it works ok with this resolutions.
but when used on the PC with high resolution (ex. 1920,1080) its very small and in the middle of the screen.

That is the reason i would like to make it cover the full screen.

Is there any other way where i can resize all the forms and objects to the cover the screen on any resolution?

Many Thanks

I think you should use the SCALING feature of eXpress++.

Look at \exp20\samples\scale\scale.prg and \exp20\samples\scale\font.prg

[ampandya]

Hi
Scale and Font program's code make a little change but not stop blinks.

Roger,
I was checking the samples and found that, you can see what i am trying to explain here.
If you open the ButtonXP program maximizsed using (setFrameState(XBPDLG_FRAMESTAT_MAXIMIZED))
It does the same Blinks to adjust button to the screen resolution, which i am talking about.

Many Thanks

Hi

to work around can you please suggest,

how can i show progres using ( cDialog=dc_waiton("Please wait..Re-creating buttons") sleep(500) ) on a white background
and the original form loads all the buttons and other objects behind the white background?

Thanks
Ankit
