customer requested if it was possible to have field size enlarged by dragging when needed.
When you move to the spot between two field headers you can see that it changes icon to indicate that you can drag the field however the dragging does not actually work.
I have looked at several configurations but can not see where I would be able to enable this for the user.
Is my assumption that this is simply not possible correct or am I missing something?
In web client this is possible as field resizing is a native function of most browsers.
In smart client all objects by default are fixed at design time. You can code various runtime object property changes but dragging is not an event you can code against through Servoy 4.
Servoy 5 has drag and drop of objects but I haven’t played enough with it yet to determine what the “drag handlers” of various objects are. If a field object only has one draggable area (the whole field), then to drag an edge of that field could probably be done by attaching a 2nd object to the field edge and detecting drag on that object (resizing the field and moving the object together).
That’s just thoughts for now until I get a chance to dig into Servoy’s D&D implementation.
besides normal (data) drag n drop, servoy 5 has also client design that gives you knobhandles around your fields so that you can resize them (or drag them around)
