Stack layout experimentation with form objects inpired by UIStackView
Create a rectangle or maybe a groupbox for the stack background , then group it with some form objects.
Rectangle must be under other objects so first in group
Init the stack and keep it somewhere (Form
, class instance in Form
, ...)
Form.stack:=cs.Stack.new("Rectangle"; "Button"; "Input"; "Text"; "Button2")
The first element must be the rectangle
then in On Load
and On Resize
call perform
to move objects according to wanted options
Form.stack.perform(New object("spacing"; 20; "axis"; "vertical")) // could be horizontal
to help there is some macros
select some elements then launch the macro, it will create for you the group and the transparent background rectangle
you could in form macro menu apply horizontal or vertical stack alignment to the selected group
Before applying alignment you could register the spacing.
this will register custom json key in Form in first element of group, the rectangle
It generate the code to init a cs.Stack
with all selected group children elements and the perform with registered parameters.
- some inner padding conf variable
- other distributions than
fill
one, for instance align the objects to the left instead of taking the full width
