Tab Controls

[Robomaniac]

I am looking into adding tab controls to the editor more fully, and I've modified the layout editor code to handle adding children of Tab Controls (as it is possible to add children in xml), however, I cannot get the added windows to show up in the tree view and to get them to save to the written xml file. Where should i look for this?

Cheers and Happy St. Patty's Day

Hi,

Sounds cool I wonder, how do you add children in XML then?

I suppose you removed the "tabControl" from
the WindowContext::acceptsWindowAsChild method, in order to allow adding it?

In order to make tabs visible and saved to your files, look at the following:

For the tree view, take a look at the method "ManagerDlg::initLayoutTree", where you will see that "__auto_" windows are being denied. (I suppose that tabs are tagged like that as well, right?).

For saving, take a loot at the method "CCELayoutEditorDoc::saveWindow", which also denies the automatic children.

Good luck!

Ok, i got it to save the elements, however, i get an error on loading due to the __auto elements being created already... hm... i need some way to get the children of the tab control which aren't prefixed with __auto__ (which is everything that you create as a child of the control)

any suggestions?

That's the main reason why support was initially dropped. Because it also creates windows itself. It's hard to distinguisg then which windows should be added and which not.

On the other hand, i remember that children of a tab control are not added by creating a new window and setting the parent, but rather through specific methods. So how does it work then for your?

Besided, you say that your own child windows are not prefixed with __auto_, so what goes wrong then? (Maybe the answer is my comment about the specific methods instead of the parent setting?)

Can you post of XML data which fails to load, so i can have a look myself?

Thanks.
