CreateSymbolDisplayControl

Description

Creates a new symbol display control in the dialog layout. The control displays the specified symbol in the specified rendering mode and view. The actual size of the symbol is not relevant; it is shown as large as possible in the given height and width (the height to width ratio of the symbol is always preserved). To show a blank SymbolDisplay control, use an empty string as the symbolName parameter.

Parameters

Name Type Description
dialogID LONGINT The ID of the dialog in which to create the control.
itemID LONGINT The item ID of the control.
symbolName STRING The name of the symbol to display.
height INTEGER The height of the control in pixels.
width INTEGER The width of the control in pixels.
margin INTEGER The margin bewteen the border of the control and the symbol in pixels.
renderMode INTEGER The render mode in which to display the symbol.
view INTEGER The view in which to display the symbol.

Examples

VectorScript

CreateSymbolDisplayControl( 5, 6, 'Chair', 350, 200, 5, 11, 9 );

This creates a dialog control that displays the symbol called "Chair." The control is 350 pixels high and 200 pixels wide, with a margin of 5 pixels. The symbol is rendered in OpenGL mode and displayed in a right isometric view.

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
dialog1 :INTEGER;
int     :INTEGER;

PROCEDURE dialog1_Handler(VAR item :LONGINT; data :LONGINT);
BEGIN
END;

BEGIN
dialog1 := CreateLayout('Example', TRUE, 'OK', 'Cancel');
CreateSymbolDisplayControl(dialog1,  4,  'Symbol-1', 128, 128, 0, 11, 9);
SetFirstLayoutItem(dialog1,  4);
int := RunLayoutDialog(dialog1, dialog1_Handler);
END;
RUN(Example);

Python

def dialog1_Handler( item , data ):
	pass

def Example():
	dialog1 = vs.CreateLayout('Example', True, 'OK', 'Cancel')
	vs.CreateSymbolDisplayControl(dialog1,  4,  'Symbol-1', 128, 128, 0, 11, 9)
	vs.SetFirstLayoutItem(dialog1,  4)
	int = vs.RunLayoutDialog(dialog1, dialog1_Handler)
