Windowlist and Scrollbars

[celestian]

I suspect my problem has something to do with my window/subwindows and windowlist but I'll be darned if I can't find it.

This is a simple prototype combattracker window that I'm tinkering with to try out some new layouts. My plan is to have a subwindow on the left of the mainwindow that contains the list of all the creatures (in order in initiative/etc at some point). I've got the windows layed out and threw some critters in but it seems my scroll bar is missing.

Here is the picture.

Here is the code for the primary window.


<windowclass name="combattracker_host">
<frame>cta_box</frame>
<placement>
<size width="650" height="500" />
</placement>
<sizelimits>
<minimum width="400" height="300" />
<dynamic />
</sizelimits>
<softclose />
<nodelete />
<script>
function onInit()
self.onSizeChanged = sizeChanged;
end
function sizeChanged(source)
local nX, nY = getSize();
local nCombatantsX, nCombatantsY = combatants.getSize();
local nDefaultOffset = -90;
local nMaxWidth = 150;
local nCenter = math.floor((nX/2) + 0.5);
if (nCenter > nMaxWidth+math.abs(nDefaultOffset)) then
local nAdjust = nMaxWidth - nCenter;
combatants.setAnchor("right","contentanchor","center","absolute",nAdjust);
else
combatants.setAnchor("right","contentanchor","center","absolute",nDefaultOffset);
end

end
</script>
<sheetdata>
<contentanchor_ctabox name="contentanchor"/>

<subwindow name="combatants">
<anchored to="contentanchor">
<top anchor="bottom" relation="relative" offset="25" />
<left anchor="left" offset="10" />
<right anchor="center" offset="-90" />
<bottom parent="" anchor="bottom" offset="-40" />
</anchored>
<activate />
<fastinit />
<class>cta_combatant_list_host</class>
<script>
function onDrop(x, y, draginfo)
return subwindow.list.onDrop(x, y, draginfo);
end
</script>
</subwindow>

<button_cta_menu />

<resize_ctabox />
<help_cta />
<close_ctabox />
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>


Here is the list windowclass (subwindow on main) and it's associated template.



<windowclass name="cta_combatant_list_host">
<frame>groupbox</frame>
<sheetdata>
<list_cta_combatants_host name="list" />
<scrollbar>
<anchored to="list" />
<target>list</target>
</scrollbar>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>

<template name="list_cta_combatants_host">
<windowlist name="list">
<script file="cta/scripts/cta_host.lua" />
<child></child>
<child><backcolor>1A40301E</backcolor></child>
<anchored>
<top anchor="top" relation="relative" offset="1" />
<left anchor="left" offset="1" />
<right anchor="right" offset="-1" />
<bottom anchor="bottom" offset="-1" />
</anchored>
<datasource>.list</datasource>
<class>combatants_entry_host</class>
<empty font="list-empty-ct" textres="ct_emptylist" />
</windowlist>
</template>



The list just is a stringu of the names of all the creatures while I sort out the scrollbar issue.

Every other time I've setup a scrollbar like the above bold section it has worked for the windowlist. Am I just covering it up hiding it somewhere? You can still use the mouse to wheel up/down the list (with out without the <Scrollbar> options) but the scrollbar needs to be there for mouse clickers.

I've tinkered with this for a few hours and I'm just not seeing it (the problem or the bar).

It looks like the frame used for the windowlist is not displaying fully on the right? So, I'm guessing, that the right side of that control is being hidden. As the scrollbar is displayed on the right of the windowlist control it's getting hidden as well.

That is exactly what it was. Damned mentioned it in discord and when I got home I ran a test and sure enough! I never can see the forest for the trees sometimes.

The fix was this.



<template name="list_cta_combatants_host">
<windowlist name="list">
<script file="cta/scripts/cta_host.lua" />
<child></child>
<child><backcolor>1A40301E</backcolor></child>
<anchored>
<top anchor="top" relation="relative" offset="3" />
<left anchor="left" offset="1" />
<right anchor="right" offset="-15" />
<bottom anchor="bottom" offset="-3" />
</anchored>
<datasource>.list</datasource>
<class>combatants_entry_host</class>
<empty font="list-empty-ct" textres="ct_emptylist" />
</windowlist>
</template>


Sliding the windowlist window right side to the left gave me enough view to see it.

Great! :)
