[C] calculating GEM window size

[Cyprian]

I use AES wind_get "WF_WORKXYWH" to convert the window size to working size:

Code: Select all

		/* Get window work area*/
		wind_get( WINDOW_handle, WF_WORKXYWH, &WindWork.g_x, &WindWork.g_y, &WindWork.g_w, &WindWork.g_h );

And now I wonder if there is a reverse function that converts the working size to window size.
I have a 100x200px panel and I would like to open a new window that will fit this panel.

I've tried this one but without success:

Code: Select all

		/* set new window size */
		wind_set( WINDOW_handle, WF_WORKXYWH, WindWork.g_x, WindWork.g_y, WindWork.g_w, WindWork.g_h );

		/* get new window size */
		wind_get( WINDOW_handle, WF_CURRXYWH, &WindSize.g_x, &WindSize.g_y, &WindSize.g_w, &WindSize.g_h );

First: You cannot set the working area size of a window. The working area grows/shrinks automatically when you resize the window. It is nothing more than the total size of the window minus borders, title bar, info bar and controls.

Do I understand correctly that you have a window with a working area of 200x100px and now you want to open a second window that covers exactly this working area?

Then you need to pass the working area dimensions of the already opened window to the new window using WF_CURRXYWH. That will move that window to the upper left corner of your panel with exact same size:

Code: Select all

wind_set( WINDOW_handle, WF_CURRXYWH, WindWork.g_x, WindWork.g_y, WindWork.g_w, WindWork.g_h );

wind_calc will give you the total window size required for a given work area size and set of components

based on the required size of working area (my panel) I needed to calculate the window size

thanks, wind_calc did the job:

Code: Select all

		wind_calc( WC_BORDER, WI_KIND, WindWork.g_x, WindWork.g_y, WindWork.g_w, WindWork.g_h, &WindSize.g_x, &WindSize.g_y, &WindSize.g_w, &WindSize.g_h );
