Title: size of "add include path dialog"
Post by: killerbot on August 09, 2015, 09:37:56 am
IS anyone else seeing this :
(already for some months now) I have this on all my openSuse boxes :

Project->Build Options -> Search Directories -> Compiler -> Add :

Add Repository Dialog :
 - a very small Directory input field (one can hardly see antyhing of the path)
- a way oversized "..." button


Note : even if this would be back to normal size as before, think this dialog should be bigger anyway (one needs space when showing paths)

I think we have discussed this kind of issue already, see: Re: The 19 June 2015 build (10341) is out. (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20363.msg139387.html#msg139387) about the discussion.

in there I think another dialog is being discussed , no ?

Without any conclusion, so what should we do.
Bluntly putting that minsize back ?

Or I think on the dialog I am mentioning, the button "..." can have a fixed sized (as well as the "Directory" label), and all the rest of the line can be consumed by the input field, together we a substantially enlarged dialog itself.

Hi, killerbot, the dialog your reported I think is the one: "src/sdk/resources/edit_path.xrc"

With the commit 10260, some minimal size value is removed. See the diff below:

I think we should add those minimal size value back.

I know what happens and when.
It happens for many dialogs (I think).
I currently work on a patch to fix this.
Please do not touch this files (if possible) at least not in trunk, or fixing will be more work, because of merge conflicts.
Title: Re: size of "add include path dialog"
Post by: killerbot on August 15, 2015, 10:59:41 pm
this is now back as it was before thanks to the changes Jens made :-)

For the "add include path" dialog, I would still suggest :

- to make the size bigger (it is still a small dialog)
- have it re-sizable

What do you think ?

Great job, Jens.
@killerbot, I think the old revision(before revision10260), the add include path dialog is also quite small, right?
See the image shot below:
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/746x450q90/673/E5TdaW.png)
I also see a CodeBlocks error message box, which is similar as BlueHazzard's post said: Re: The 19 June 2015 build (10341) is out. (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20363.msg139256.html#msg139256).

I'm using wx2.8.12 under WindowsXP.

Also, I see commit10394, it has the diff file:

Is that correct? for the flag field?

About the flag issue, I search the wx 2.8.12 source
There is a function which adds style
Code
void wxXmlResourceHandler::AddStyle(const wxString& name, int value)
{
    m_styleNames.Add(name);
    m_styleValues.Add(value);
}
And a macro to do this:
Code
#define XRC_ADD_STYLE(style) AddStyle(wxT(#style), style)


You can see all other align styles were added in wxWidgets-2.8.12\src\xrc\xh_sizer.cpp
Code
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_CENTER);
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_CENTRE);
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_LEFT);
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_TOP);
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_RIGHT);
     XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_BOTTOM);
But you have never see
Code
XRC_ADD_STYLE(wxALIGN_NOT);

Thus:
Code
int wxXmlResourceHandler::GetStyle(const wxString& param, int defaults)
{
    wxString s = GetParamValue(param);

    if (!s) return defaults;

    wxStringTokenizer tkn(s, wxT("| \t\n"), wxTOKEN_STRTOK);
    int style = 0;
    int index;
    wxString fl;
    while (tkn.HasMoreTokens())
    {
        fl = tkn.GetNextToken();
        index = m_styleNames.Index(fl);
        if (index != wxNOT_FOUND)
            style |= m_styleValues[index];
        else
            wxLogError(_("Unknown style flag ") + fl);
    }
    return style;
}

yes in the past it was also rather small, so my proposal is to enlarge it, unless there are objections ?

I will fix the "wxALIGN_NOT" issue later this day.
