Splitter settings on open

I am using a splitter on a form.  It works well, but I would like to have the
form open with the splitter set a a certain position.

That is, I would like to programmatically move the splitter up from the default
50% position depending on how many rows I have displayed in the grid in the top
container.

I have done the right math, and the splitter bar actually does appear at the
right place when the form opens, but the top and bottom container do not change
their size.

I use the following code in the form onopen:

    nRecords=form.rowset.count()
    IF nRecords < 11
       form.HSPLITTER1.top := form.HSPLITTER1.top-((11*17)-(nRecords*17)) 
       CLASS::moveit()
    ENDIF

17 is the size of one record in the grid in the top container.  As I said, this
moves the splitter to the correct position, but I cannot get the top and bottom
container to adjust their size properly.

Hope someone has done this and can give me a hand.

Thanks for any ideas,

Hi Mark,

which version of the splitter are you using?

DBSPLITTER.CC (Jim Sare)
or
SPLITTER.CC (Elwyn Rees)

Hi Jan,

Am using Splitter.cc, tho the notes indicate it was designed by Jim Sare, 2002.


I tried the following:

    IF nRecords < 11
       form.HSPLITTER1.top := form.HSPLITTER1.top-((11*17)-(nRecords*17)) 
      class::SplitterMoving()
      class::SplitterMoved()
      form.HSPLITTER1.onLeftMousedown()
      form.HSPLITTER1.onLeftMouseUp()
    ENDIF

This seems to work, except that it coughs up an error message when the function
doRelativeMove is run in splitter.cc.  If I ignore the error, the form appears
as it should and behaves fine after.

Hope you have a suggestion,
Mark

Mark,

And what is the error message? What does the line of code say? <g>
