Rollup a modeless OpenDCL form
« on: July 05, 2007, 02:07:28 PM »
From a discussion at sourceforge.net.

Attached is a zip containing a simple form which can be "rolled-up".  Use the button with the arrow to roll it up.  The "x" closes the form - no title bar.

The only thing I would suggest is having the dialog box maintain it's width when in a "rolled up" state.

Matt: yes.

Get the width from the getRectangle function and pass it to the re-size function.  Don't have anymore time now to play: I'm designing a $9 million urban hotel project right now . . .

Well la-dee-da.... Well, I'm, uh.... I'm just updating... my.... Zune library.  :-(

Pretty cool stuff, this ODCL.  I'm really starting to get the hang of it.  It's actually not as bad as I once thought it was.

Matt,
When you finish with your ZuneLibrary you could try saving both the height and width (to restore both) .. letting you handle resizable forms.

Thanks to James for posting this great example of how to roll-up a form.
Just an FYI, if you're interested in Minimizing your form to the bottom left corner of your screen (I.E. moving & resizing it), there's a new sample showing how to do this.
Here's the info: http://www.opendcl.com/forum/index.php?topic=228.0
