Add a new taskPanel on Explorerbar ( on line)

[Silvio.Falconi]

At init I have



and I wish insert a taskpanel after the first taskpanel on line ( I wish the final user can add the second Panel on line)



I not Found a Solution

I created a test where at init I build the oExbar from an array aData and if the 4th paramter is false it not create the taskPanel

the final use when click the link "Create Second Panel" the procedure must destroy all panels and recreate all

to destroy Panel I tried with destroy(9 and end() method but it seem not Know these commands and I cannot destroy the previous panels before to create all

this is the small test

    local aPanels:= array(4)

   // xbrowser adata

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FWH Class TExplorerBar"

   oWnd:SetSize( 350, 600 )

   oExBar = TExplorerBar():New()

   // create the taskpanels
   Crea_Panels(oExBar,aData,aPanels)


   oWnd:oClient = oExBar

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Set and create the second  taskPanel
Function Crea_Second_Panel(oExBar,aData,aPanels)

   aData[2][4]:=.t.   //change the value

   Refresh_oExbar(oExBar,aData,aPanels)

 return nil

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
 // create the taskPanels
 Function Crea_Panels(oExBar,aData,aPanels)
   local bClick := { | o | MsgInfo( o:GetText() ) }
   local bCreateSecond := { ||Crea_Second_Panel(oExBar,aData,aPanels)  }

    For n= 1 to Len(adata)
       IF aData[n][4]
          aPanels[n]:=  oExBar:AddPanel( aData[n][1], aData[n][2],aData[n][3] )
        Endif
     Next

     aPanels[1]:AddLink( "First item", bClick, "..\bitmaps\16x16\additem.bmp" )
     aPanels[1]:AddLink( "Create Second Panel", bCreateSecond, "..\bitmaps\16x16\copy.bmp" )

 return nil

 //refresh the explorerbat
Function Refresh_oExbar(oExBar,aData,aPanels)

   For n= 2 to Len(adata)
        aPanels[n]:=NIL //end() destroy()
     Next

   oExBar:refresh()

  Crea_Panels(oExBar,aData,aPanels)

  return nil

 

If I tried with Destroy I have this error

For n= 2 to Len(adata)
aPanels[n]:destroy()
Next

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Error occurred at: 02/25/24, 18:05:43
   Error description: Error BASE/1004  No exported method: DESTROY
   Args:
     [   1] = U  

IF I make

oExBar:CloseAll()

and then

aPanels[3]:end()
aPanels[4]:end()



I have this result



as you can see the third and fourth panels are not destroyed

New Release




As you can see it might work except it doesn't delete previous panels correctly
that remain below

it might work except that the Destroy method doesn't delete the taskpanels correctly

NOTICE
panel 1 is always present and is never deleted
so when I delete the panels I delete them starting from the second

[Silvio.Falconi]

I think we would need a new method directly in the texplorerbar class to insert taskpanel in x position
I sent to Linares my Idea for two new methods
