[opensource-dev] opensource-dev Digest, Vol 9, Issue 27

[Kent Quirk (Q Linden)]

That sort of thing is more involved, I'm afraid; you have to change the control. I don't know offhand if the XUI commit binding mechanism can be made to work with only XUI change -- I kind of doubt it. If not, you'll have to  change the c++ event handlers from 4 individual event handlers to one that does all 4 things on change of the combo_box.

It's probably worth some spelunking through XUI to see if there's an example of binding the combo box; if not, I bet one of the devs around here would help you write the C++ changes to make it work.

It will bring up a dialog that you can use to display any of our dialog boxes, in two languages at once if you want. If you configure it, you can also have it open the dialog file in your text editor, and the "show rectangles" checkbox makes it easy to see which parts of the dialog have which names.

So you should be able to experiment with a layout rather easily; it's not a live graphical editor, but it makes it pretty easy to edit. Just realize the dialogs are not "live", and so sometimes things won't look right, or may have overlapping fields because only one of them is visible at any given time.
