Enterprise Client Community

Hi,

is there a way to the get the absolute size of a component? e.g. a TABBEDPANETAB.
Background is, that I generate a diagram within the pane, now I want to optimize the the diagram's size? As an alternative I would take the eclnt-width parameter and substract the left and right border elements?

regards
Markus

Hi,

currently the sizing of the client is not really transferred to the server (except the size of the screens/popups).

We could introduce a PANE-sub-type that sends its width/height to the server whenever it changes. There is of course one problem: the width/height would be always one roundtrip too late. Imagine a page that's just coming up: the width/height would no be available. Same, if page changes its layout with a response processing... - So I more and more do not like this...

Other option: special IMAGE component that request a URL to the server, the URL contains the width/height as parameters. URL is resent to server side every time the size changes.

I currently like the second option more. What's your opinion?

ok, the second version sounds good, but I think it want fullfill my requirements.
My idea is/was to give the user the possibility to get the max size of the diagram, but the the diagram is generated (JChart) on the fly, so I think an IMAGE Comp. want work in my case, because at this point in time the image is already generated?

Hi,

this would mean that the image is provided through a servlet interface - hidden behind an interface, such as with file upload/download (if you have already done this...).

Björn

...forgot to mention: and it of course means that this servlet is called on and on when the user e.g. resizes the screen...

ok, I understand this sounds great, but it's just a nice to have, so there's no urgency
