In IUPLua, how do I position a component indicating X (horizontal position) and Y (vertical position)? I read in the documentation:
It will be changed during the layout computation, except when FLOATING = YES or when used inside a concrete layout container.
Then I tried:
require "iuplua"
button = iup.button{title="button", floating="yes", position = "50,0"}
dlg = iup.dialog{title="test", size="QUARTERxQUARTER", button}
dlg:show()
iup.MainLoop()
But it does not change anything.
FLOATING is an attribute processed only by abstract layout boxes, such as vbox and hbox . That's why your code did not work. In your example, doing , iup.vbox{button}} starts working.
If you want to do concrete layout with IUP then it is best to use iup.cbox as container . In this case the example should be modified like this:
floating="yes", cx = 50}
, iup.cbox{button}}
I have. To get position, I had to put the button inside a box (I used hbox), and set the FLOATING attribute of the button to "yes". Here is the code:
require "iuplua"
button = iup.button{title="button", floating="yes", position = "50,0"}
dlg = iup.dialog{title="test", size="QUARTERxQUARTER", iup.hbox{button}}
dlg:show()
iup.MainLoop()
It looks like this:
