Hi, I have a utility which runs from a formal module (which effectively acts as the template) allowing the user to:
-
select one of the defined views, and
-
copy the selected view to either a single formal module or all formal modules within a folder.
Following the copy to the formal module(s), I wish to resize the window of the formal module to match the size of the source module window.
I easily found routines which get and set the sizes and positions of DB windows and think I found the method of GETTING the size of a Module window, using:
-
int ModuleSizeX = width window SourceModule, and
-
int ModuleSizeY = height window SourceModule
...but having trouble SETTING the width and height of the TargetModule. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Re: Copy Views - is there a way of resizing a Module Window (not a DBE Window)?

Don't know if it is possible to change module window size interactively. But if you are copying views, then look at the DXL example lib\dxl\util\copyview.inc, which uses the undocumented function copyWindowSettings to copy e.g. the window size from one view to another.

Well...except it does not copy the window size and position settings. At least did not on DOORS 8.3. So no solution from this example script.
Thanks,
Ken.

Sorry, I don't have the answer, but I have a related question - is there a way to copy the Column property "Text Color By attribute" using Copyview?
Thanks,
Ken.

That seems to be copied according to my testing.
I'm using V2.2 06-May-19 in DOORS 8.2.
Thanks,
Ken.

What version of Copy View and DOORS are you using?
I'm using V2.2 06-May-19 in DOORS 8.2.
Thanks,
Ken.
// %full_filespec: copyview.inc~14:dxl:ERS#1 %
..what ever that is.

Hi dudes,
Please find attached a copy of the kitchen utility 'Copy Views' I was handed yesterday. It appears to do what I was hoping it would, i.e. resizing the target module based on the dimensions of the source module.
I had a quick look at the code but I can't find the version number just in case anyone asked.
Just out of a matter of interest, the utility I wrote opens the module in EDIT mode and makes it visible to the user, the kitchen utility, however, opens the module in READ mode (and switches between hidden and visible at various times). Would this single fact be the reason why my utility doesn't copy across the dimenensions of the window??
Chris.

Scripts should routinely open modules read unless they intend to perform changes.

Didn't study the scripts, but you don't need to open the module Edit to modify the Views; which makes sense since modifying views doesn't change any of the underlying data.
Scripts should routinely open modules read unless they intend to perform changes.
By the way, I can't see where in the script resizes the window.
In fact, it reads:
/*
Known issues:
Does not copy Sort Criteria
Does not copy Window Size and Position settings
Does not copy View Access Rights settings
Does not copy Module and current user default View settings
*/
I remember using the void draw(Module,int,int,int,int,int,int,int,int) function for this, but I can't remember neither syntax nor order of arguments.
And wild guess about this throws ugly errors.
