Toolbox like Gimp

[tkd]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create a toolbox like gimp : a table of button, and a second part for action linked to the pressed button.

I created a panel with wxgridsizer or wxflexgridsizer, but the problem is when I resize this panel, the buttons table alignement does not changes.

I would like to know how doing a floating button table in a panel, as gimp do, to obtain this :
- the original buttons table is a matrix of 3x4 buttons
- after growing the panel, the matrix can become just a matrix of 1x1 or 1x2, it depends of the new size of the panel
- reversly, if the size go down, the matrix have to become 10x1 for example.

I tried many things, but right now, I have no more idea

If someone have an idea, thanks in advance !

If you're using wxWidgets 2.9.x you can use wxWrapSizer:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_wrap_sizer.html

If you want to stay with wx 2.8.x you'd have to implement that behavior yourself.

Hi,

unfortunatly, I have to stay with wx 2.8.
I can implement it by myself, but I don't understand exactly how to start. Do you have an indication to help me pl ?

Thanks in advance

In pseudo code:

create vertical sizer
loop:
-Create horizontal boxsizer
-add items until the maximum width is reached or no more items available
-add horizontal sizer to vertical sizer
end loop:

Or it could just be a grid sizer. You'd just need to calculate the best size to fit all tools

Yeah. Important thing that i forgot to mention: You have to do this whenever the control gets resized, either recreating the whole sizer layout, or dynamically detaching/attaching the buttons to the different sizers. Not really a trivial task.

So maybe you should consider switching to 2.9.x

So maybe you should consider switching to 2.9.x

or copy the wxWrapSizer (wrapsizer.cpp/h) source files into your project and use it
