Hello,
I'm trying to build dialogs on-the-fly from XML files.
The XML file describe each control : position, size, label, embedded
controls, plus some private information about the control.
Don't ask me why I didn't simply use NIB files. I need extra
information about each control, which cannot be put in NIBs.....
I've designed some dialogs in Interface Builder, took each control's
coordonates, and wrote them in my XML files.
The result is quite interesting : my dialogs looked very ugly : the
controls were not at all positonned/sized as they were in IB.
For instance, when you create a simple button in IB, the size is locked
and says 20 pixels.
Now if you try in your code to manually create a NSButton with a height
of 20 pixels, it will get truncated !
So I didn't give up. I hard-coded some values to apply to each type of
control so that all looked as in IB
But now it appears that each time I embed a control in a NSBox I still
have to move this control 4 pixels left and 4 pixels down.
Some here comes my question : is there a way to change the origin (0,0)
of a NSBox's content to (-a, -b), so that if I embed a NSButton at (10,
10), it will be drawn at (10-a, 10-b) ?
If some people are familiar with QuickDraw, I'm looking for something
similar to SetOrigin
Thanks
Jerome
