Need help with scripting Panel Box

miguello

I have a Panel Box with V List Box that has Combo box and two If Boxes with content of different size. Depending on Combo Box selection I show either smaller If Box or Bigger If Box.

notReadyTablesText = "Need to join tables";
readyTableText = "I have the table";
selectorOptions = Eval List( {notReadyTablesText, readyTableText} );
					
Panel Box( "Select tables",
	stVLB = V List Box(
		readyTablesSelector = Combo Box(
			selectorOptions,
			selector = readyTablesSelector << Get Selected();
			Show( selector );
			If(
				selector == notReadyTablesText,
					notReadyTables << Set( 1 );
					readyTables << Set( 0 );,
				selector == readyTableText,
					notReadyTables << Set( 0 );
					readyTables << Set( 1 );
			)
								
			;
		),
		notReadyTables = If Box(
			1,
			V List Box(
				Button Box( "Table 1", t1Open ),
				Button Box( "Table 2", t2Open ),
				join = Button Box( "Join Tables",
					notImplemented;
								
				)
			)
		),
		readyTables = If Box( 0, Button Box( "Load Tables", loadTable ) )
	)	
		
);

 

When I switch the combo box, the size of the Panel Box changes and everything that is below that Panel Box is jumping. How do I keep the same size of the Panel Box?

I tried Set Height, Set Auto Stretching, Set Min Size() etc.

It can be a little difficult to manually set Button Box() sizes (I usually use a H Splitter  Box() and Lineup Box() to have JMP auto-size everything), but the best method I've found is to send the message <<Set Min Size( width, 25 ) << Set Max Size( width, 25 ).

 

notReadyTablesText = "Need to join tables";
readyTableText = "I have the table";
selectorOptions = Eval List( {notReadyTablesText, readyTableText} );
					
pb = Panel Box( "Select tables",
	stVLB = V List Box(
		readyTablesSelector = Combo Box(
			selectorOptions,
			selector = readyTablesSelector << Get Selected();
			Show( selector );
			If(
				selector == notReadyTablesText,
					notReadyTables << Set( 1 );
					readyTables << Set( 0 );,
				selector == readyTableText,
					notReadyTables << Set( 0 );
					readyTables << Set( 1 );
			)
								
			;
		),
		notReadyTables = If Box(
			1,
			V List Box(
				bb1 = Button Box( "Table 1", t1Open ),
				bb2 = Button Box( "Table 2", t2Open ),
				join = Button Box( "Join Tables",
					notImplemented;
								
				)
			)
		),
		readyTables = If Box( 1, bb3 = Button Box( "Load Tables (really long button name)", loadTable ) )
	)	
		
);

new window( "test",
	pb
);

boxes = {bb1, bb2, bb3, join};

max size =  Max( {readytables, notReadyTables} << Get Width );
boxes << Set Min Size( max size, 25 ) << set Max Size( max size, 25 );
readyTables << Set( 0 );
