How do I find out the maximum extent that a morph can be set to, without this impacting the current extent of its owner morph?
[Newbies] How do I find out the maximum extent that a morph can be set to, without this impacting the current extent of its owner morph?
Hi Alexandre,
My first guess would be:
maxBounds := myMorph owner bounds myMorph bounds: maxBounds.
and my second guess would be: necessaryInset := 1 maxBounds := maxBounds insetBy: necessaryInset .
and try for a third guess: necessaryInset := necessaryInset + 1 .
etc.
And I would use a squeak workspace to find out what I needed to know. And then I would know it. (Report back here you results)
Cheers.

Hi all
Question: How do I find out the maximum extent that a
morph can be
set to, without this impacting the current extent of
its owner morph?
Context: trying to set the extent of a sticky note's
summary label to
the maximum possible width, and such that the note's
window (isKindOf
PasteUpMorph) will not be resized.
Thanks in advance Alex

Hi Jerome
Thanks for your advice. The parent morph in question is variable in width (user discretion), includes several submorphs, including that for which I would like to calc the maximum "non-impacting" extent, and uses a layoutPolicy. And yes, that parent has insets... set, too. So I am a bit hesitant. Will try some stuff.
Thanks again Alex

Does not #spaceFill do just fill the max available space ?

The owner morph (a stickie note title bar) contains 3 submorphs: 1. a SimpleButtonMorph, to trigger collapse/expansion of the stickie note (collapsed = stickie note's editor submorph hidden) 2. a StringMorph: contains a summary -- a contracted copy -- of the stickie note's editor's contents. The length of that summary depends on the maximum amount of horizontal space available to the containing StringMorph. 3. a StringMorph: set to the last modification date of the stickie note.
Therein lies my problem: to determine the maximum space that #2 can occupy before provoking a resize of the stickie note, and given that stickie note widths are left to user discretion, i.e., vary.

How to I prevent an embedded TextMorph from wrapping the text I enter into it if said text exceeds the current bounds of that morph, despite the fact that its much-larger owner gives it ample expansion room via the "hResizing: #spaceFill" selector?
I've tried a gazillion (minus one?) layout, autoFit, and wrapFlag setting combos to no avail: that little son-of-a-... morph keeps wrapping its text as soon as entry has exceeded the current bounds.
Thanks, again Alex
