A Stack is a stack of controls arranged horizontally or vertically.
|
||
|
|
If horizontal, all controls take the same heights, and use their preferred widths.
|
||
|
|
If vertical, all controls take the same widths, and use their preferred heights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PROBLEM
|
||
|
|
We want to have controls that stretch with the window
|
||
|
|
SOLUTION
|
||
|
|
Delegate one control as the "stretchy" control.
|
||
|
|
s := NewVerticalStack(c1, c2, c3)
|
||
|
|
s.SetStretchy(1) // c2
|
||
|
|
When drawing, all other controls have their positions and sizes determiend, then the stretchy one's is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PROBLEM
|
||
|
|
We want to have a control that's anchored (resizes with) the top left and one that's anchored with the top right.
|
||
|
|
SOLUTION
|
||
|
|
Allow stretchiness for arbitrary controls
|
||
|
|
s.SetStretchy(1)
|
||
|
|
s.SetStretchy(2)
|
||
|
|
When drawing, the sizes of non-stretchy controls are determined first, then all stretchy controls are given equal amounts of the rest.
|
||
|
|
The preferred size of the stack is the preferred size of non-stretchy controls + (the number of stretchy controls * the largest preferred size of the stretchy controls).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PROBLEM
|
||
|
|
Non-equal size distribution of stretchy controls: for instance, in a horizontal stack, a navigation bar is usually a fixed size and the content area fills the rest.
|
||
|
|
SOLUTION
|
||
|
|
I'm not entirely sure how to fix this one yet; I do know for a navigation pane the user is usually in control of the size, so... will figure out later.
