Android Question Custom control strange behaviour

[Roberto P.]

Hi everyone

I creted custom control and there is a strange behavior that I can not solve.

I created this properties:

#DesignerProperty: Key: ShowEditor,                 DisplayName: Show Editor, FieldType: Boolean, DefaultValue: true
#DesignerProperty: Key: Multilinee,                 DisplayName: Multi Line,                 FieldType: Boolean, DefaultValue: true
#DesignerProperty: Key: FieldDescription,     DisplayName: Edit Description,     FieldType: String,     DefaultValue:

and when setting the ShowEditor or MultiLine at true, the control not mantein the width.

I checked the width with the log ed value is -1

I not use the

mCtrlNostroRiferimento.Width    =    pnlDatiTesta.Width

the controls work?! but widht is'nt correct


can tell me why?
thank in advance

You should use Anchors instead of the script. The script is useful for more complex management, but for simply setting widths and height's to 100% Anchors are simpler.

the anchors doesn't work
see pictures

 

[stevel05]

You need to stretch them the full width of the layout in the designer.

The designed layout needs to fit the variant you are using, then the scaling and designer scripts will work as expected.

If you copy to a new variant, you need to set it correctly to fit. But if you do it correctly in the first place, there is rarely a need for multiple variants.

I completely agree with everything @stevel05 wrote. I recommend you to watch the visual designer video tutorial: https://b4x.com/etp.html

i would rather not create meny variants of the same layout! I not understand because the script work in this mode?!

I've already seen the tutorial

 

[stevel05]

The script will work if the layout is setup correctly, but Anchors are easier.

Can you post the layout?

 

[Roberto P.]

I repeat, the problem is that the layout does not behave correctly if I use the custom parameters.

the layout is part of a very large project that I can not share. I will try to do a smaller project.
thank you

 

[stevel05]

It would also be useful to have some additional info. Like what selecting the custom parameters actually does in the code?

I'v see a strangeness in the map of properities

- there are 3 properties

#DesignerProperty: Key: ShowEditor,                 DisplayName: Show Editor, FieldType: Boolean, DefaultValue: true
#DesignerProperty: Key: Multilinee,                 DisplayName: Multi Line,                 FieldType: Boolean, DefaultValue: true
#DesignerProperty: Key: FieldDescription,     DisplayName: Edit Description,     FieldType: String,     DefaultValue:

but in map object shows more properties that I removed. See after:


key defaultcolor value -984833
key activity value anywheresoftware.b4a.BALayout{ad24022 V.E..... ......ID 0,0-1280,775 #1}
key ba value anywheresoftware.b4a.BA@275bdab3
key eventName value mctrlvostroriferimento
key customType value dev.meta.sb.cctrledit
key shortType value CCtrlEdit
key Multilinee value true
key FieldDescription value Vostro Riferimento
key ShowEditor value true
key csType value Dbasic.Designer.MetaCustomView+CustomDataGrid
key ShowEdit value false
key VisualizzaEditor value true
key type valore

Why?

thank

You probably need to load and save the layout to get rid of them.

 

[Roberto P.]

done many times. I've open the file and there is the information, but I can not cancel. Even if I do not know if this is the cause of the problem

 

[stevel05]

Try removing the customview from the layout and adding a new one.
