Your JEDI has been considered by our Review Panel and was not approved for inclusion in a future release of JADE. The panel felt that the benefits did not justify the costs. Brian Johnstone 2/03/2018 9:34:17 AM A flow control would definitely be nice. In the interim, I've removed almost all the complexity when dynamically hiding/showing controls through judicious use of Frames/JadeDockBar controls which have the alignParent options. This means that when I hide the 'container' which has the controls I don't want visible, Jade automatically repositions everything below that container vertically upwards for me without any need to write code to move any affected controls. Similarly, when I make that container visible Jade automatically recalculates the new top positions to make space for the container which has just been made visible. I also do a similar thing for horizontal panels. I also let Jade take care of users resizing the vertical/horizontal panels where it's logical to allow them to adjust the relative percentages. With the new min/max height and width settings now available in Jade 2016, it is even easier to have this happen without getting any unwanted spreading of any of the vertical/horizontal panels. This option, combined with parentAspect, means we now have virtually no code required to 'dynamically reposition' controls when hiding other controls in our system, including automatic handling of form resizing. It's not quite up there with responsive UIs, which a flow control would help to achieve, but it gets pretty close for our current minimum supported resolution. |
