RESIZING

[GORDON]

I've just resized my frames from 800x600 to 1024x768. Is there an easier way to have the hotspots that were set for the 800x600 frames match up with the resized 1024x768 frames without moving them all manually?
Thanks!

I think you can use the Project Properties and add some code to move all your hotspots a certain amount at the start of each frame opening. It sure seems feasible, I just haven't done it.

Yeah, that's actually a great Idea!
You can define the new position by using this code:

Code: Select all

For each H in hotspot
H.left=npw*H.left/opw
H.top=nph*H.top/oph
H.width=npw*H.width/opw
H.height=nph*H.height/oph
next

In the "Execute some vbs each time a frame is loaded" project property
Change npw, opw, nph, oph with the new project width, old project width, new project height, old project hight respectively, given in pixels.
For example changing from 800*600 to 1024*768 should be done with this code:

Code: Select all

For each H in hotspot
H.left=1024*H.left/800
H.top=768*H.top/600
H.width=1024*H.width/800
H.height=768*H.height/600
next

Perhaps you can extented this code to include textboxes and other controls too, I think it would be useful

Good job Liberodoggy

Yeah you can apply the same technique. Just then, you have to get the code executed after the frame has finished loading (to resize the controls after they have been initialized).
You can use the same code, changing the first line (for each H in Hotspot) with the control you wanna change
i.e. for the text controls of a frame, you can use

Code: Select all

For each T in text
H.left=npw*T.left/opw
H.top=nph*T.top/oph
H.width=npw*T.width/opw
H.height=nph*T.height/oph
next

Nice code Lyberodoggy! It's more efficient then I had imagined!
