Is there a way to suspend all anchored controls on a form from moving or resizing themselves temporarily? i.e.: procedure ScaleFormBy(AForm: TForm; n, d: Integer); begin AForm.SuspendAnchors(); try AForm.ScaleBy(n, d); finally AForm.ResumeAnchors(); end; end; I need to do this because I'm calling AForm....
I want to create a border layout for a webapp, where there is a fixed size header and footer, a sidebar and a main center content that expands to fill the remaining space. Think of it like your browser, where the toolbars and statusbar have a fixed size, the sidebar can change size, but the website in the center expands to fill the remai...
or "How I learned to stop worrying and learned to love measurement systems" I wanted a central spot that I can refer to later to give me a quick low-down on various units of measurement used in programming. SO seemed the best place to put it, and while I could go ahead and answer the question myself, y'all are a much smarter bunch than...
I have a wx.Panel that has a GridBagSizer associated with it. This panel is placed inside another Sizer (BoxSizer), whose add has the expand flag - meaning that the panel takes up the full width of the sizer, which is great. ...But the panel's internal sizer does not fill the panel now. I've tried setting the internal sizer's flag to w...

I'm trying to find documented (or, undocumented, if that's my only option) APIs on OS X to query a list of windows from the window server and then cause the windows to move and resize. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I guess I'd be starting with something like FindWindowEx and MoveWindow under Win32. Note that I want to do...

I am essentially trying to create a version of the "figure" element (upcoming in HTML5), whereby I have an image with a short description below it. However, I want to limit the width of this entire element to that of the image, so the text isn't wider than the image (wrapping to multiple lines if necessary). Basic HTML: <div class="fi...
Hi, I was working on creating a layout today which goes as follows: +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ | | | | | | | | +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ Looks simple, but I have some additional specs: The max number of columns (n) needs to be dynamic (This HTML page is generated at run-time). The entire set must be horizontally flu...

I'm trying to get a vertical seekbar going with the emulator, but I'm sort of stuck. I can get the seekbar to display the way I want it to, and I can get the progress to do what I want, and I can modify the onTouchEvent to get the thumb to go vertically instead of horizontally. What I can't do is get the thumb to move outside of the de...
I have a page where the infamous 3px extra vertical space (below each li element) is being rendered in IE7 on all my list items. I have a specific situation where I need text absolutely positioned within the li, so that its container can be set to a smaller width, & the text extends beyond the container. Here's the code I'm using: <styl...
Part I This layout can be done quite simply with 2 HTML tables, one nested inside the other, or even with a single table. It can also be done with CSS, though it might involve a little more thinking. This may not be a real world layout, but I have seen pages that are similar. Consider this a riddle; an exercise to buff up your CSS...
I came across an interesting problem today. I have a text email I'm sending from a Web page. I'm displalying a preview and wanted to put the preview in a fixed font retaining the white space since that's the way the plaintext email will appear. Basically I want something that'll act like Notepad: the newlines will signal a newline but...
I just read codes of a web product that is supposed to support multiple modern browser(including FireFox 3.X, Safari 3.X and IE7+, but not including IE6-). The HTML code uses div instead of table to create table-like effects. Actually, the div's are organized like this: <div> <div> <div style="float:left" id="h...

I found that some web page layout works perfect for English turns to be messy if another language is applied. The root cause is that some words in some language is too long and pushes other div's away from their best position. For example, <div style="width:40em; overflow: hidden"> <div id="div1" style="float: left">Bla Bla...

I'm trying to put an image at the top left of a LinearLayout, but with the image border and padding taking up the whole of the width of the window. If I try the XML below, I get my image with its border and a white background across the whole width of the page, except that the image ends up centered, and doesn't move to the left. <Imag...
