I was struggling with window resize events in legacy code…
I noticed that Xojo has added a desktop grid for such issues.
I tried using it and had to define new interfaces and event handlers and felt that was a bit of a risk..
I came up with a simple solution that extends the desktop window class with a method called Pack.
I put a bunch of controls on a window in the IDE in a layout that is good for the ide.
In this case 9 push buttons each with different anchor settings.
in my opening event i set up the table by adding rows of cells.. each cell has a name that corresponds to the name of the control on the window.
My window opening event.
layout = New TableLayout
layout.Columns = 3
layout.Rows.Add(Row("Button1","Button2","Button3"))
layout.Rows.Add(Row("Button4","Button5","Button6"))
layout.Rows.Add(Row("Button7","Button8","Button9"))
Self.Pack(layout)
Inside the IDE…
At runtime.
One module.. pretty simple.
