ListLayout in compartments not working as expected [message #216113]

Hello folks,

i got a little problem using a figure descriptor (ShowMessageFigure)
with a Rectangle in it (ShowMessageRectangle) and with 2 Compartments in
it: TitleCompartment and MessageCompartment.

Each of these compartments is itself represented by a seperate Rectangle
(TitleCompartmentRectangle & MessageCompartmentRectangle) inside the
ShowMessageRectangle to be mapped in the CompartmentMapping in .gmfmap.

Each Compartment in turn is container for another figure descriptor
representing a Rectangle (MessageRectangle). This MessageRectangle has
one child, the ThesaurusRefsRechtangle, which contains instances of a
figure descriptor (ThesaurusRefFigure, simply containing one Label)
organized in a StackLayout.

I want the figure to look like this:

+======================================+
| ShowMessage Label |
+======================================+
| TitleCompartmentRectangle |
|+------------------------------------+|
|| MessageRectangle ||
||+----------------------------------+||
||| ThesaurusRefsRectangle |||
||| |||
||| * ThesaurusId 1 |||
||| * ThesaurusId 2 |||
||+----------------------------------+||
|+------------------------------------+|
+======================================+
| MessageCompartmentRectangle |
| |
| The message compartment shall have |
| exactly same inner structure like |
| title compartment |
| |
+======================================+

Each Rectangle except ThesaurusRefFigure (this one is StackLayout)
contains a FlowLayout like follows:

- Force Single Line true
- Major Alignment BEGINNING
- Major Spacing 0
- Match Minor Size true
- Minor Alignment CENTER
- Minor Spacing 0
- Vertical true

But the MessageRectangle instances don't fit to
TitleCompartmentRectangle's width, see:

What am i doing wrong? Could someone pls give me a hint?

TIA

hi again,

i now tried several combinations of no layout inside the compartment
rectangles, listlayout in .genmodel set to true/false, etc.
could please one you have a short look on my example above and give me a
hint how to achieve the goal that the message rectangles span to their
parent.

or more generally: how best to achieve that child figures expand to the
height/width of their parent figures?

thanks a lot in advance, this issue is bothering me for days now...

Hi,

Try GMF's ConstrainedToolbarLayout as a layout manager for the top level
figure (instead of StackLayout). Keep default size of figures - width =
-1, height = -1, such that the actual size is determined by the layout
managers.
Hopr this helps.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

thanks for your answer! I've finally chosen another approach and will
start a separate thread for it to share my thoughts.

Cheers

Hello Christian,

To correct this problem you have to open .gmfgen model and modify GenCompartment
representing TitleCompartment/MessageCompartment by setting "listLayout"
property to true. Then regenerate code.
