panel position

panel position - 03/08/10 17:41

I would like a panel to always be 80 above the bottom of the full screen or the window regardless of the screen resolution.

This doesn't work:

pos_y = (screen_size.y - 80);
or
pos_y = (screen_size.y)- 80;

And this doesn't work:

var desktopHeight;
desktopHeight = sys_metrics(1); (in the main function)

pos_y = (desktopHeight -80);
or
pos_y = (desktopHeight)-80;

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

function keep_a_distance_startup() {
while(1) {
mypanel.pos_y = screen_size.y-80-mypanel.size_y;
wait(1);
}
}

Should work?

Maybe it is better using the on_d3d_reset event?

Thanks Superku, that is exactly what I was trying to code. I might have figured it out in a few days.

Your welcome but DJBMASTER is right, you should do it his way.

The manual didn't help me on that.

Only this sentence registered,

LOL!:

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you probably won't need on_d3d_lost or on_d3d_reset

Here you go...

Code:

function SetPanelPosition()
{
mypanel.pos_y = screen_size.y-80-mypanel.size_y;
}

function main()
{
on_d3d_reset = SetPanelPosition;
}

Now every time you change resolution, the panel will auto position.

Oh my god you made my day...
(desktopHeight)-80; its exactly the same of desktopHeight-80;
