SPLIT-PANE
A Split-Pane is a control that has twosides separated by a divider which can be dragged by the user to give more space to one of the sides, resulting in the other side shrinking by an equal amount.
Placing controls inside a Split-Pane
The Split-Pane content can be defined in the Screen Section of the program by setting the split-group and split-group-area clauses of a group of controls to the name of the Split-Pane. For example, the following Screen Section snippet defines a Split-pane with 4 fields inside, 2 in the first area and 2 in the second area:
03 sp-1 split-pane line 3, col 3, lines 10 cells, size 30 cells . 03 sp1-left-content split-group sp-1, split-group-area 1. 05 ef-1 entry-field line 2, col 2, size 10 cells. 05 ef-2 entry-field line 4, col 2, size 10 cells. 03 sp1-right-content split-group sp-1, split-group-area 2. 05 ef-3 entry-field line 2, col 2, size 10 cells. 05 ef-4 entry-field line 4, col 2, size 10 cells. |
Controls can also be dynamically added to Split-Pane areas by using a Format 2 DISPLAY statement. For example, the following statements add two new fields to the above Split-Pane, one in the first area and the other in the second area:
display entry-field upon sp1-left-content line 6, col 2, size 10 cells handle ef-5. display entry-field upon sp1-right-content line 6, col 2, size 10 cells handle ef-6. |
