Button click fails - 2.8
in [Visual Objects]
|
From: BillT on 30 Jul 2010 00:28 I have just discovered when running a program generated from VO2.8, that a button click is not activated unless the button is fully showing in the window. The same (well, the original from which the new program evolved) program generated by 2.5 behaves differently. If the button is only partially visible then the screen scrolls until the button is fully exposed and then calls the button's method. Is this a bug or a deliberate change or....? Thanks, Bill
From: Karl Faller on 30 Jul 2010 02:17 Bill, just tried with 2 of my apps, even if the button is just clickable at all, it behaves like you described for 2.5. So i'd suspect some other problem in your app...

From: BillT on 30 Jul 2010 23:24 Karl, ,Geoff, Thanks - so it's not 2.8 per se. I do have a bBrowser on the window, but I don't think that's the problem. I looked at that possibility first as the only significant difference between my main window and this one is the presence of bB on this one. Just tried with a test window + bBrowser in this program and that worked as 2.5 does (i.e. the window jumps sideways until the button shows fully and then the button action occurs.) Just tried a few things with my troublesome window, and the results are:- 1. Button fully exposed when window is shown = OK when clicked 2. Button fully exposed by dragging horizontal scroll bar to fully expose the button = OK when clicked 3. My button is on the right, and it seems that if there is room to move the window left sideways without hiding any controls on the left then it will jump sideways to the edge of the leftmost control.. If this causes the button to then be exposed, then OK when clicked. If the button is still not fully exposed then the only solution seems to be to drag the horizontal scroll bar sufficient to expose the button. Then OK. Not something I recall ever striking previously. This window has quite a wide bB on it which means there is only a couple of mm space on left edge. The program 'remembers' it's last size and position so once sorted on a particular PC the wide window should position itself OK. Thanks and regards, Bill

Correction to point 3 above - the window will jump left as far as it needs to expose the button EXCEPT that it will not push the bBrowser off the screen. Other controls on the left may be pushed off the screen. Cheers, Bill |
