Oooo... looking forward to a new version.
I've redesigned this and uploaded to liveCodeShare:
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/990/SkPopover
As always, while i use this for my own purposes i share freely in case others find this helpful - any feedback welcome.
Version 0.94 changes:
- redesigned the plugin for much narrower layout, using my radial slider
skRadial
- skPopover handlers moved to a behaviour script (invisible button inside the popover) to free up the popover's script for user defined functions (with the exception of 2 short handlers that ensure that the behaviour script is assigned on openControl and on resizeControl - required as the id of the button changes on copy/pasting).
- changed the way existing skPopovers can be edited: The 'red gears' graphic has been removed as that way of launching the plugin for editing was causing too many issues. Instead, select the skPopover to be edited, and click the "Edit popover" button in the plugin. Any changes made will be shown both in the selected control and in the prototype skPopover in the plugin.
If the selected object is not an skPopover or if no object is selected, it will instead set up the skPopover prototype in the plugin for editing.
- new custom property isSkPopover boolean, which identifies the group as an skPopover; this means you can iterate through controls assessing this instead of the group name, for example when hiding all popovers.
For example, to hide all popovers (eg when user clicks outside it) this can be in the card script:
Code: Select all
on mouseDown
repeat with x = 1 to the number of groups of this card
if the isSkPopover of group x of this card then hide group x of this card
end repeat
end mouseDown
-
setPositionForArrowAt pX, pY : a new easier way to position the skPopover, so the apex of the arrow is located at the passed coordinates no matter where along the side of the popover the arrow is - useful for ensuring the skPopover is always at the correct location when making it visible, but especially helpful when dynamically moving the arrow (eg when otherwise the popover would be clipped by the boundary of the card) - just reposition the arrow and call this handler to position the skPopover at the corrrect location.
API
# Custom properties:
- uSide : the side on which the arrow appears (left/top/right/bottom)
- uPercentageOfLength : the percentage of the side selected where the middle of the 'arrow' will appear
- uScaleFactor : the percentage of the side that will form the base of the arrow
- uLineSize : line size for visible elements
- uCornerRadius : corner radius of the popover box
- isSkPopover - boolean declaring thie group as an skPopover (new as of 0.94)
# Handlers
- setSide pSide : select a side of the popover to display hte arrow
- setLocation pPercentageOfLength : position the middle of the arrow at the passed percentage of length of uSide
- scaleArrow pScaleFactor : scale the width of the arrow as percentage of uside
- setCornerRadius pRadius : self explanatory
- setLineSize pSize : self explanatory
- setLineColor pColor : self explanatory
- setFillColor pColor : self explanatory
- setPositionForArrowAt pX, pY : positions the skPopover so the apex of the arrow is located at the passed coordinates (new as of 0.94)
