Collapse windows

Post by foxmuldr »

There are options on panes right now for maximize and close only. It needs to have a minimize option so it can be shrunk down to a tiny footprint, consuming less screen real-estate when it's not needed, able to be expanded back to its prior size when needed. I believe previous versions of Codelite had this. It is missed greatly.

Eran,

I would be happy to code this. If the ability does not exist natively in wxWidgets, then I have a simple idea ... add the third icon and when clicked, have it shrink down (horizontally or vertically depending on its orientation) to be only as wide/tall as the three icons, then when clicked again to restore its width or height to its previous settings.

Workable?

Alrighty. :-) Where's the form or base class source code for the title bar rendering algorithm? It looks like it's directly in the wxWidgets code ... correct? Are there flags that can be set in Codelite for the top-level "Output View" level wxFrame(??)s? maybe this feature already exists and just needs a flag set in the Codelite base class for dockable parent container items.

I can't find it. If you know where the base class reference is that passes those options in to the manager, and the onEvent() handler for the minimize button click... I'll be happy to implement it in code, test it, etc for the pull. Apart from that ... I just don't know enough about Codelite and wx.
