Multiple examples
I would suggest creating an examples folder with multiple examples, especially for different layout permutations as it gets harder to achieve the desired results (like nested controls inside a layout) without a proper example on how to do it!
Different sized columns are also hard to figure out!
This is something I have been considering as it would help ease users into using more complex features. I have also been considering making a simple application that uses Slab and providing that as reference.
I'm personally interested in two specific things:
Adavanced layout usage (nesting, aligning, resizing, custom size columns) Creation of custom controls/widgets via usage of Region
More docs on how the layout manager works would be great too. I'm still strugging to have a simple sidebar and a custom control that makes use of region and overlayed images next to each other :)
I've seen that the file dialog achieves a column with sidebar like layout by moving the cursor rather than using the lauyout manager. Are there any reasons for this? Am I understanding wrong?
Region.Begin(
"FileDialog_DirectoryExplorer",
{
X = CursorX,
Y = CursorY,
W = ExplorerW,
H = ListH
-- more...
}
)
Cursor.AdvanceX(0.0)
Cursor.SetAnchorX(Cursor.GetX())
FileDialogExplorer(ActiveInstance, ActiveInstance.Root)
Region.End()
Region.ApplyScissor()
Cursor.AdvanceX(ExplorerW + 4.0)
Cursor.SetY(CursorY)
-- Layout for the Lisbox...
