New widget aligns: expandx, expandy

[Gryphon_de]

Hello!

Could you please add this aligns for ui widgets?

Case: I have widget with fixed height and flexible width. If I use align="expand", height is fixed no more(

My suggestion would be to use the HBox and VBox containers with align=expand. Children will only expand in one direction.

I am not sure I can use this advice in my case.

I need to create some widget with 3 childrens:

1. scrollbox (top)
   
2. editline (bottom left)
   
3. button (bottom right)
   

Button size should be fixed; editline should have fixed height and flexible width. Editbox should take all the place that left. How can I do this?

I'm trying write .ui like this:

<window>
 <vbox align="expand">
<scrollbox align="expand"/>
<hbox height="40">
   	<editline align="expand"/>
   	<button width="30"/>
</hbox>
 </vbox>
</window>

In this case editline doesn't actually expand. If I add align="expand" property to hbox, it ignores the height limit (well, it takes 40 as minimum heights value, while I want it to be fixing).

try

<window>
 <vbox align="expand">
   <vbox>
<scrollbox align="expand">
<hbox align="expand">
     <editline align="expand"/>
     <button width="30"/>
   </hbox>
 </vbox>
</vbox>
</window>

 

the double vbox is a trick I picked up from looking at the editor code.

It would be nice if there was a less hacky way to do it.

Then my editbox doesn't change its height either 8(

what about

<window>
  <scrollbox align="expand">
 </scrollbox>
<vbox>
   <hbox align="expand">
  	<editline align="expand" />
  	<button width="30" />
  </hbox>
</vbox>
</window>

 

I don't see any harm in making a less hacky way of doing this then.
