Splitter without any border

Former Member — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 09:26:02 GMT

Hi,

is that possible to create a splitter but with no border at all? I'm setting a border to false, but this is still not enough. Can someone tell me if that is possible?

Big thanks,

Marcin

If there is no border how will the user identify how to resize the two controls you are showing, isn't that flexibility left to the user ?

Regards,

Ravi

Well, but in this situation I want to use splitter as a container, just to put e.g. a toolbar at the top and a tree at the bottom. And I want to create that dynamically. So I don't need resizing in this situation, only container which gives me possibility to place few elements inside one parrent container. And it would look nicer if this gray border wouldn't be visible at all.

you canuse SET_ROW_SASH or SET_COLUMN_SASH methods to fix the splitter panes so that user cannot resize them.

You can also use the class CL_GUI_EASY_SPLITTER_CONTAINER and in the constructor set the attribute WITH_BORDER = 0

Did you check that? Is that working? Because I entered into CONSTRUCTOR code of CL_GUI_EASY_SPLITTER_CONTAINER and it looks like WITH_BORDER parameter isn't used anywhere, looks like it is dummy parameter which doesn't change anything. I will write some test program, because I don't believe that

Just like I thought, it doesn't change anything. But finally I found the solution I was looking for.

mr_splitter->set_row_sash( id = 1

type = cl_gui_splitter_container=>type_sashvisible

value = cl_gui_splitter_container=>false ).

I found that there is another switch for sash which can be turn on/off and this is exactly I was looking for. Now the sash is hidden and looks just like I wanted.
