Eto Height Objects

Hi All,

immagine

    def __init__(self):
        self.Title = "Title"
        self.Size = Eto.Drawing.Size(150, 100)
        
        self.Button0 = Eto.Forms.Button(Text = 'ONE')
        self.Button1 = Eto.Forms.Button(Text = 'TWO')
        
        layout = Eto.Forms.DynamicLayout()
        layout.AddRow(self.Button0)
        layout.AddRow(self.Button1)
        
        self.Content = layout

self.Size = Eto.Drawing.Size(150, 100)

Eto.Drawing.Size width 150 and height 100

what value to put to have the same height in the two Buttons?

ps Eto objects have a standard height?

Just add an empty row to your layout:

layout.AddRow(None)

alternatively, you can add this:

layout.AddSpace()

Yes, the height depends on the content and the styling like padding etc. You can control button heights individually eg:

self.Button0 = Eto.Forms.Button(Text = 'ONE', Height=40)
self.Button1 = Eto.Forms.Button(Text = 'TWO', Height=50)

To prevent that you need to change your dialog height so it fits the height of the content, you can define the dialog Size (it’s height) like this:

self.Size = Eto.Drawing.Size(150, -1)

sorry @clement,

layout.AddRow(None)
layout.AddRow(None)
or
layout.AddSpace()
layout.AddSpace()

can’t you add consecutive spaces?

Hi @0904,

i guess you have more control over spacing and padding per row if you use AddSeparateRow. Below is an example which shows how to use it in your case.

ETO_AddSeparateRow.py (1.2 KB)

Note that you must pass in controls in this line as list:

[self.Button_A, self.Button_B]

but you can also create an empty (separate) row by using this instead for the list of controls:

[None]

You can change the distance from previous controls for this row by adjusting the padding values eg.

Eto.Drawing.Padding(left, top, right, bottom)

There is a good document about Eto layouts here.

Hi @clement,
great suggestions thanks for reply.

that’s why I asked if the controls have a standard height by default (or a way to know the height and width of a control) so that, if there was a need to align the various controls with the heights, knowing the dimensions, distances and spaces between the controls in the layout, it would be possible to align them perfectly
