Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
I have a TitleWindow that is resizable. Inside of it I have a TileGroup
with a single dataGrid. Looks like when I resize the TitleWindow it does
not affect TileGroup. The same TitleWindow works fine if I remove
TitleGroup. Resizing will work correctly with dataGrid. I will try to come
up with a test case. But for now I am just asking for a direction of
researching the problem.
Thanks

Well, I just tried this for the TileGroup: minWidth="0" minHeight="0"
width="100%" height="100%" and it actually worked. Hooray!!! Thank you for
the help!

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
Right, you have set the Tilegroup to get smaller, but how did you set up
the DataGrid to get smaller? In theory you would need to give the DG 100%
width and height and set its minWidth/minHeight to 0 as well, otherwise
the TileGroup will not shrink the layout. TileGroup may also have other
rules about its ability to resize its cells.

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
Posted by mark goldin <ma...@gmail.com>.
I have set tilegroup to have minWidth="0" minHeight="0" and the result is
absolutely the same. When I resize titlewindow horizontally internal
datagrid is not getting smaller. On a side note. Is out there a resize
titlewindow example publicly available that I could use to show my test
case?

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
TileGroup and other containers should resize according to the default set
of rules, which is that when given percentage sizes, they will default to
trying not to shrink below the measured size of their content. If you
want them to shrink below that measured size, the simplest thing is to
determine what other minimum size you want (even zero) and set minWidth
and minHeight accordingly.

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
Posted by mark goldin <ma...@gmail.com>.
So, what I understand is that an out of the box TileGroup is not capable of
of being resized correctly. My custom TileGroup is already heavily modified
to accomplish what I need and I dont mind to add more code to make it
resizable. I just could not get any code into my custom control that would
show that I am on the right path. What is the right path? Should I somehow
listen to the resize event inside of my tilegroup to adjust its
measurements? Please give me some ideas.
Thanks

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup

If you replace TileGroup's width/height with actual numbers, that's the
size it will be and it will not shrink or grow. When you use 100% for
TileGroup width/height, its computed minWidth/minHeight will be based on
the measurements of the DataGrid and it will not shrink below whatever
that computes to be.

Re: Resizable TitleWindow and TileGroup
Posted by mark goldin <ma...@gmail.com>.
Here is how I do it in a pseudo code:
TitleWindow
SkinnableContainer
TileGroup width="100%" height="100%" requestedRowCount="1"
requestedColumnCount="1"
DataGrid
The same thing works fine without TileGroup. I tried to replace %% with
real numbers. Did not work either.

If you are using % width/height, the measuredWidth/Height also becomes the
minWidth/minHeight which can prevent shrinking.
