ai_type - 1 - Resizes with the height; 2 - Resizes with the width; 3 - Resizes with the height or width whichever has the smaller change in proportion; 4 - Resizes with the height or width whichever has the bigger change in proportion.

Return value

None

Description

This is an internal function that will be automatically called when resize script is executed.

Gets the default ratio of each control.

Syntax

of_getscale ( string as_input, ref string as_flag, ref string as_xscale, ref string as_yscale, ref string as_wscale, ref string as_hscale )

of_getscale ( string as_input, ref string as_flag, ref string as_xscale, ref string as_yscale, ref string as_wscale, ref string as_hscale, ref string as_width, ref string as_height )

of_getscale ( string as_input, ref string as_flag, ref string as_xscale, ref string as_yscale, ref string as_wscale, ref string as_hscale, ref string as_width, ref string as_height, ref string as_fontsize )

Description

Gets the original tag of a control or object. Original tag includes the information that is not altered by the of_init function.

Syntax

of_gettag ( windowobject awo )

Parameter

awo - The name of the object or control.

Return value

String. The original tag information of the control or object.

Description

Initializes the user object container or the window that needs to be resized. You can initialize the user object container or the window only; you can also initialize the controls contained in the user object container or the window by setting the ab_recursion parameter to true. Only the initialized user object/window/control can be resized, therefore, this function must be the very first one to be called.

By initializing the user object/window/control, it actually registers the following information to the Tag property of the user object/window/control, separated by "/":

register flag/resize flag/flag/x ratio/y ratio/width ratio/height ratio/width/height/x/y/parentwidth/parentheight/{textsize}/original tag

flag: used by the developer to manually specify the resize behavior of a control or object, such as scaletobottom, fixtoright etc. By default, the value is "1111". It can be set by using the of_setflag function.

textsize: only effective when the control or object has the textsize property.

Syntax 1: Initializes the user object. If ab_recursion is true, all of the controls contained in the user object will be initialized as well.

of_init ( userobject au_uo, boolean ab_recursion )

Syntax 2: Initializes the user object. If ab_recursion is true, all of the controls contained in the user object will be initialized as well.

of_init ( userobject au_uo, integer ai_width, integer ai_height, boolean ab_recursion )

Syntax 3: Initializes the window and the controls in it. If ab_recursion is true, all of the user objects and tab controls contained in the window will be initialized as well.

of_init ( window aw_window, boolean ab_recursion )

Parameter

au_uo - The name of the user object container to be initialized.

aw_window - The name of the window container to be initialized, and the controls in the window will be automatically initialized as well.

ai_width - The new width of the user object container. The original proportion of each control will be calculated based on it.

ai_height - The new height of the user object container. The original proportion of each control will be calculated based on it.

ab_recursion - When true, the controls contained in the user object container will be initialized as well; or the user objects and tab controls in the window container will be initialized as well; when false, only the user object container or the window (and controls in the window) will be initialized.

Return value

None

Description

Changes the ratio of a single object or control that has been registered using of_init.

Syntax

of_init_object ( windowobject awo, decimal ad_xscale, decimal ad_yscale, decimal ad_wscale, decimal ad_hscale )

of_init_object ( windowobject awo, integer ai_parentwidth, integer ai_parentheight, boolean ab_recursion )

Comparatively speaking, the second syntax is easier to use and produce the desired layout; the first syntax would require more testing to determine an accurate x/y ratio.

Parameter

awo - The name of the object or control to be initialized.

ad_xscale - The new x ratio.

ad_yscale - The new y ratio.

ad_wscale - The new width ratio.

ad_hscale - The new height ratio.

ai_parentwidth - The new width of the parent container.

ai_parentheight - The new height of the parent container.

ab_recursion - When true, the controls contained in the object or the control will be initialized as well; when false, only the object or the control will be initialized.

Return value

None
