Styles
A DIVIDER must be created with one of the following 2 styles for its Orientation:
Horizontal | The divider line is drawn horizontally. |
Vertical | The divider line is drawn vertically. |
A DIVIDER also have any, all, or none of the following styles:
Notify | Causes the Window Layout's DBLCLK or CLICK subroutines for this control to be called when the mouse is double-clicked or clicked on the divider. |
Sunken | Makes a sunken border. |
No Sibling | (NOSIBLING) Prevents this control from drawing into any overlapping controls. |
Group | Marks this control as the first of a group of controls in which the user can move from one control to the next with the arrow keys. All subsequent controls (after this first control) belong to the same group up to the next control that has its GROUP flag set. (ie, One group ends where the next begins). |
Disabled | Control is initially disabled. You can later enable it with a call to GuiSetCtlPlacement. |
Hide | Control is hidden. You can later make it visible with a call to GuiSetCtlPlacement. |
Border | Has a border. |
Extra styles
A DIVIDER can have the following extra styles:
Modal Frame | (MODALFRAME) Has a double border. |
Static Edge | (STATICEDGE) Has a three-dimensional border intended to be used for windows that do not accept user input. |
Client Edge | (CLIENTEDGE) Has a 3D look comprised of a border with a sunken edge. |
Accept files | (FILES) Accepts drag-and-drop files (ie, the DROPFILES event). |
Transparent | The control is to be transparent. Any controls that are beneath this one are not obscured. |
Events
A DIVIDER generates the following events:
Event name When it occurs CLICK The user has clicked on the divider. Note: A disabled divider does not cause a CLICK event. This event also does not occur if the NOTIFY style is not specified for the control. DBLCLK The user has double-clicked on the divider. Note: A disabled divider does not cause a DBLCLK event. This event also does not occur if the NOTIFY style is not specified for the control.
REXX Variable
A DIVIDER must have a REXX variable associated with it only if you specify the NOTIFY style, or you wish to be able to change its state (with GuiSetCtlPlacement). You do not need to initialize the variable before opening the window which contains the DIVIDER control.
