ChildPanelOnModule()

Synopsis

void ChildPanelOnModule(string FileName, string PanelName, string ModuleName, dyn_string Parameter, int x, int y);

Parameters

Return Value

None.

Description

Opens the panel "PanelName" that is stored under the name "FileName" as a child panel. The list of the $ parameters are transferred to the child panel. The child panel is opened at the position x, y. Before the panel is opened a check is made as to whether this panel is already open (isPanelOpen()). The size ratio between child and parent panel is 1 (scale = 1). If the size of the parent panel is changed, the child panel is not scaled to the new size.

A child panel can not be resized. The only exception to this is the use of Layout Management in the child panel.

Example

Opens the panel "ChildPanel" with the name "Testpanel" in the current module at the position 300, 100. The function also passes the dollar parameters "first" and "example" to the child panel.

main()
{
  string strvar = "example";
  int x, y;
  x = 300;
  y = 100;
  ChildPanelOnModule("ChildPanel.pnl",
  "Testpanel", myModuleName(),
  makeDynString("$p1:first", "$p2:"+strvar),x,y);
}

Since you passed dollar parameters, you can call , for example,

DebugN($p1); and

DebugN($p2); in the child panel.

The first definition DebugN($p1); returns the string "def"; and the second definition the string "example";.

Assignment
