AddChild
Establishes a relationship between a form and a control in it.
- Syntax
-
Call AddChild(ChildControl, Move&Size)
Part
|
Description
|
| ChildControl |
The control whose relationship to the form can be enforced.
This control must have Left, Top, Width, and Height properties.
|
| Move&Size |
Integer representing the size and
position properties of ChildControl that
should move when the relationship is enforced.
See the Move&Size constants listed below.
|
Remarks
This relationship is enforced using the EnforceForm method.
The form is gotten from the ChildControl.Parent property.
Size and position constants for the same direction
should not be combined in the Move&Size argument.
|
AddContents
Establishes a relationship between
a container control other than a form and a control in the container.
- Syntax
-
Call AddContents(ContentsControl, Move&Size, ContainerControl)
Part
|
Description
|
| ContentsControl |
The control whose relationship
to the ContainerControl can be enforced.
This control must have Left, Top, Width, and Height properties.
|
| Move&Size |
Integer representing the size and
position properties of ContentsControl that
should move when the relationship is enforced.
See the Move&Size constants listed below.
|
| ContainerControl |
Is often a Frame or Panel control.
This control must have Width, and Height properties
with at least read access at run-time.
|
Remarks
This relationship is enforced using the EnforceContainer method.
ContentsControl should be drawn inside ContainerControl.
Size and position constants for the same direction
should not be combined in the Move&Size argument.
|
Settings
The Move&Size argument can have the following values for AddChild and AddContents
Constant
|
Value
|
Description
|
| RE_LEFT |
1 |
Both the left and right edges of the child
move with the width of the parent.
|
| RE_WIDTH |
2 |
The width of the child moves
with the width of the parent.
|
| RE_TOP |
4 |
Both the top and bottom of the child
move with the height of the parent.
|
| RE_HEIGHT |
8 |
The height of the child moves
with the height of the parent.
|
Example
You can add vertical constants to horizontal constants.
This example defines the relationships of
a bitmap editor that might contain a PictureBox
with ScrollBars along the right side and bottom.
Call AddChild(VScroll1, RE_LEFT + RE_HEIGHT)
Call AddChild(HScroll1, RE_WIDTH + RE_TOP)
Call AddChild(Picture1, RE_WIDTH + RE_HEIGHT)
|
AddPane
Establishes a Parent/Child relationship between
two sibling controls (same parent or container).
- Syntax
-
Call AddPane(PaneControl, Move&Size, SashControl)
Part
|
Description
|
| PaneControl |
The control whose relationship
to the SashControl can be enforced.
This control must have Left, Top, Width, and Height properties.
|
| Move&Size |
Integer representing the size and
position properties of PaneControl that
should move when the relationship is enforced.
|
| SashControl |
Is often used as a separator
bar between two sides of a form.
This control must have Left, Top properties
with at least read access at run-time.
|
Settings
The Move&Size argument can have the following values for AddPane
Constant
|
Value
|
Description
|
| RE_LEFT |
1 |
Both the left and right edges of PaneControl
move with the left edge of SashControl.
|
| RE_WIDTH |
2 |
The width of PaneControl
moves with the left edge of SashControl.
|
| RE_TOP |
4 |
both the top and bottom of PaneControl
move with the top of SashControl.
|
| RE_HEIGHT |
8 |
the height of PaneControl
moves with the top of SashControl.
|
Remarks
This relationship is enforced using the EnforceSash method.
Both controls must have Left, Top, Width, and Height properties.
PaneControl and SashControl should have the same parent or container.
In other words, they should both be drawn
on the same form or container control.
Size and position constants for the same direction
can be combined to produce special conditions.
Such a PaneControl is usually to the right or below SashControl.
Take, for example, one ListBox control above another
with a SashControl between them.
Both the Top and Height properties of the lower
PaneControl must change when the SashControl is enforced.
Particular caution is taken by this module to make sure that the
bottom edge of the lower PaneControl does not snap out of place.
