MergExt Datagrid scroller

Post by terryho » Mon Nov 25, 2013 5:37 am

Hi,

I had problem in MergExt DataGrid scroller on Livecode 6.5 rc7.

The DataGrid Scroller work great on iphone simulator but can not work on ipad simulator. Because the scroller touch area does not change the rect size which fit with the ipad device. Therefore if I want the scorller work on ipad I need to scroller on the top right corner.

I don't know this the bug in Livecode 6.5 rc7, which did not resize the scroller area.? or the MergExt DataGrid scroller did not adjust the scroller area?

Regards

Terry Ho

Hmm... are you using a scale mode on your stack?

Do you use any other native controls and are they being sized correctly? I haven't played with the scale modes yet. Could you try creating a native field and see if ends up in the correct rect?

Add a graphic the rect you want the field called "test"

in openCard:

Code: Select all

mobileControlCreate "input"
put the result into tID
mobileControlSet tID, "rect",the rect of grc "test"
mobileControlSet tID, "visible",true

Hi,

I under your suggestion to test it:

1. put a new input field in the top of the scrolled datagrid, in iphone and ipad it display and input correctly

2. put the input field in the bottom of the scrolled datagrid, in iphone and ipad it display and input correctly

in both the above case the datagrid can not scroll correctly in the ipad environment. The scroller touch area always locate at the top left conner.

How can I unload the livecode file for your testing?

Hi Terry

I'm replying here rather than privately because others will bump into this too... indeed they have:
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10775

I added some comments there. You might like to add yourself as CC so you know when the issue is resolved. For now you will need to avoid using stack scale modes if you are working with native views until RunRev resolve the issue.

Cheers
