View Full Version : Why does `ScrollLayout` move the window

Hello there,

I'm creating an interface and I have a question for you all.

Let's say that I create a window, then I move the window, and finally I add a scrollLayout
Does anybody know why the window moves when I do that last thing?

window myWindow;
showWindow myWindow;


scrollLayout -p myWindow;

I know that I can add the `scrollLayout` before showing the window but I do not want to do that because in the script that I have, I have different Layouts for the same window and Depending on what you select from a menu, one layout is deleted and another is shown without deleting the window. (One of those layouts have the `scrollList` and the other doesn't)

That means that every time that I change the menu, the window moves a little bit.
I'm editing the window properties so it snaps back to the place where I want but that means that for a micro second is moving to another place and it's just disturbing!

Any ideas about how to fix that?


Many thanks,

Dave

what about creating the layouts before and embedd them in a tablayout? You can even hide the tabs and switch it as you like.

In fact, I think that if I create both in the same layout and all what I do is change the visibility instead of deleting them every time, I should be able to make it work, right?

I will try that later


Thanks Eric!

if you have just 2 different layouts with a few controls changing visibility will fit your needs.
But If you're going for much more, layouts embedded in tabs is the most straightforward way.
