"loadPanel"
The function allows to preload panels that are positioned around the current panel. This allows to implement a matrix navigation.
Synopsis
loadPanel(int pos, string fileName, string panelName, dyn_string
parameter);
Parameter
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| pos |
Position to load the panel to, relative to the current panel.
|
| fileName | Name of the panel file |
| panelName | Name of the panel |
| parameter | (optional) Parameters which are passed to the preloaded panel |
Description
The function allows to preload multiple panels located around the current panel before they are even displayed. This allows to implement a smooth matrix navigation.
To load a single panel in the module, RootPanelOnModule should be used.
By using the function "scrollToPanel" the current panel can be switched with one of the preloaded panels. You can also use a two finger swipe gesture. It must be considered that the gesture must be triggered within 200ms after touching the display. Otherwise the common touch gestures are triggered.
Calling the function loadPanel() implicitly activates the panel grid mode which can also be manually activated or deactivated using the panelGridMode() function.
By calling the function panelLoad() multiple times additional panels can be preloaded and stored within the system memory cache.
It is recommended that the panels are using the same dimensions.
Example
An examples for the loadPanel function can be found within the example panel "panels/examples/chartewo/start.pnl"
