Adding/injecting IUIX_ObjImpl (Label) onto an IUIX_Dialog

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

I'm programmatically injecting a check box to the SearchView pane (between Search and Options buttons) :

What style should I set for that IUIX_Label so that "btn.options" never goes over it, when the full dlg width is small?

Much like how it does not go over the "btn.startStop", and always renders "after" it (check box hidden now):

Edit1:
Also, how do I force a Tooltip to display for that Label?

Hello zarkogajic,

How are you "injecting" it exactly?

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

1. Get IPXV_SearchView from MainFrame.View.Panes
2. Get IUIX_Dialog from it
3. Get "btn.startStop" IUIX_Button on it
4. IUIX_Inst.CreateLabel having IUIX_Dialog [2] as parent
5. Push custom IUIX_ObjImpl for the "btn.startStop" button
6. In button's e_Render read its Rect
6.1. "Move" rect to the right
6.2. Set label's rect (so it is next/right to that button).

Works like a charm

What I could do is to also move "btn.options" to the right of label's rect - and I think that could work - but I was hoping for some style setting or something like that - as I do not like this moving/repositioning in "btn.startStop" e_Render.

p.s.
I'm also setting Tooltip for the label - but am not sure how to force its display.

Hello zarkogajic,

The thing is that the Label that you are adding appears with the topmost position - this it overlaps everything.
Try creating it like this:

Code: Select all

UIX_CreateObjParams cp;
cp.pParent = pParent;
cp.nStdClass = UIX_StdClass_Label;
cp.nObjStyle = nStyle;
cp.nCreateFlags = UIX_CreateObj_InsertBefore;
cp.pID = pID;
cp.pImpl = pCustomImpl;
cp.rc = pRect;
IUIX_Obj obj = uiInst.CreateObj(ref cp);
IntPtr outPtr;
obj.Parent.QueryImpl(typeof(PDFXEdit.IUIX_Label).GUID, null, out outPtr);
PDFXEdit.IUIX_Label label = (PDFXEdit.IUIX_Label)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(outPtr);

The UIX_CreateObj_InsertBefore flag should insert it as a first item, not last.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

This ends up with the same result:

BUT also:

Btw, having nCreateFlags = UIX_CreateObj_InsertBefore - what do you specify for "nInsertBefore" ?

Hello zarkogajic,

Ah, forgot to mention that - the nInsertBefore field - try setting it to 0 for example.
Probably that's why it didn't work.

Cheers,

H Alex,

Tried with 0 and 1 and -1. Always the same.

I believe something special is going on behind the scenes as the Options button is always aligned to the right - but never goes over Start/Stop button.
