2 feature requests

[mrbolha]

Sorry about my n00bness, I posted 2 feature requests directly into the Mantis Tracker. Only now have I read the rule about posting them into this forum first.

Anyway, the features I posted are (Tickets 51 and 52):
Navigation with Tab key
It should be possible to switch the component with the keyboard focus by pressing the "Tab" key. Also, "Shift-Tab" should be used to navigate backwards.

Optionally, components like "MultiLineEditbox" might want to handle "Tab" keystrokes, generating "extra spaces" in the text, and not changing the Focus.

Scrollbar thumb size reflecting the "contents" of the "document"
It should be possible to make a scrollbar thumb component vary its size to reflect the contents being displayed.

The height of the thumb of a vertical scrollbar (and, simmetrically, the width of the thumb of a horizontal scrollbar) should change automatically (if some property is set) to reflect the ratio between PageSize and DocumentSize scrollbar properties.

The math to that would be something like this:
ThumbHeight = TrackSize*(PageSize/DocumentSize)

the first one is definitely planned for the future.
the second can already be acheived via falagard if you get the latest v0-4 branch or trunk code from svn.

you can download the revolt skin from skins.cegui.org.uk to see how it's done.

I sure miss it... Hope it gets out soon!

I downloaded the revolt skin, and checked it out. It was a solution I had already tried, but I guess it didn't work because I don't have the latest code. Do you know what is the difference? Is it a recalculation in component sizes upon change of the PageSize and DocumentSize properties?

BTW, I noticed that the RevoltLook/MultiLineEditbox scrollbar skips a whole page when you double-click the arrow buttons. It doesn't happen in WindowsLook (Falagard style). I couldn't find any relevant difference that could explain that change in behaviour. Does anyone know why it happens?

Thanx,
