Benefit in 2.02 |

Matthew Jones | The new layout code that takes account of the "widest" item in the
previous column is a good win in 2.02 - instantly solves a problem in my current project. Thanks! -- Matthew Jones |

Thanks! >> Yeah, that should have been in there from the beginning, but I was always trying to ensure that the layout code was solid before I made it overly-complex. It's going to get really whacky when I start trying to tackle space distribution. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Not only a benefit All layouts like this: BasicPanel contains an Image (or another Panel) with Layout position set to TopLeft and Stretch to bottom: All other controls with a number of "lines" at the right of the Image are messed up except the first line, because the second line's TopLeft is now at the bottom of the Image. So I don't see another way than to create an additional container at the right side of the image. Uli |

Actually, why have you got the image at all? Sounds like you are wanting it to act as the background for the panel, but why not just set the background? I guess I don't understand this enough. -- Matthew Jones |

Uli Becker | Matthew,

The size of the image can change and with the "old" layout all labels where arranged properly. > Actually, why have you got the image at all?

See the attached screenshot. No big problem though - I added additional panels and it works fine. Uli Attachments: Clip25.png |

What is the Consumption property set to for the image ? Remember, this change *only* affects how the consumption rectangle is calculated. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Uli Becker | Tim,
> I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to do here. What is the Consumption property set to for the image ? Sorry about the confusion. This kind of layout is difficult to describe. Consumption is lcRight This layout worked with the last build of EWB; with the new build everything beneath line1 was "gone". That's why I posted that here. The attached screenshot demonstrates that: Panel1: EWB 2.01 Panel2: EWB 2.02 Panel3: Setting stretch to none of the TImage and decreasing the height show the "gone" lines and how the new consumption works. (all Controls from "line2" have set a left margin.) As I already mentioned I use a separate container from now and that seems to be the cleanest layout. Uli Attachments: Clip27.png |

<< This layout worked with the last build of EWB; with the new build everything beneath line1 was "gone". That's why I posted that here. >> I think it just worked due to a fluke of the way that the consumption was being handled. What are the layout orders of the image and the labels ? What you're showing is indicating that the image is not the *first* in the layout order, but rather is in-between the labels at some point. If it's the first control in the layout order, and has its consumption set to lcRight, then you won't see what you're seeing, you'll see the same as what you saw in EWB 2.01 and earlier.

Layout order of the image is 0, labels 1,2 etc. Attached a sample project. The last label in the first "row" has consumption = bottom. IMO after the breaking change the consumption space is the biggest value of that "row", that is the TImage. Is that right? If so, then everything works like expected but just different from the last version. Uli Attachments: Test Consumption.zip |
