Subject: size-unit - proposal
As promised, here is
my discussion / proposal on the size-unit attribute.
I think the issue
with size-unit is one of definition only.
A
user specifies the width and height of a control using the CX and CY
portion of the coord attribute.
There is no mention
of units with the coord value, this is information is
somehow implied based on the restype. So, if the
file's restype == "winres", then coord are read as dialog
units.
Note: if restype is
anything else, I don't know how coord would be interpretted.
The user may
then specify min and max limits using the maxheight, minheight, maxwidth
and minwidth.
Currently, size-unit
provides a mechanism to specify what type of limit this
is.
The available values
(not final) for size-unit are pixel, byte, char-8, char-16 char-32, char-glyph,
dlgunit, row, col, point.
I think there is
confusion here in that these properties appear to be related.
Width and Height are
specified in dlgunits using CX and CY, however, max-width and max-height could
be specified in some other units, say char-8.
My understanding of
the spec is that these items are not related at all.
CX and CY are
geometrical properties of a control in a dialog
The width and height
limitations refer only to the text in the <target>.
Is this
understanding correct?
If my understanding
is correct (and it may not be), I propose that we clearly state that
maxheight, minheight, maxwidth and minwidth relate to the length of
the text translation in the <target>, and have nothing to do with the
co-ordinates of a control. In fact, there is no way to specify max or
min dimensions of a control in a dialog.
Best
regards,
Enda
