On content change

[Draven_Caine]

Greetings,
I looked through the forum and didn't find anything about this so here I am again.

Is there a way to reset list to bottom (or top) on content change?

Example: My target window icons show only 2 rows, now if a 3rd row is present it moved the icon list up so that the last row is visible. I was able to do this in VG so wasn't sure if I could here.

Thanks,
Draven

If you mean move it up so that you would now see row 2 and 3, but row 1 would be hidden, it might be possible, but I'm not sure if you can put the target effects inside another page or not.

You could try putting it inside a page, and using the ScrollExtent property. The scrollextent is used to return the actual width/height of the elements in a page, rather than just the visible area (normal height/width).

It'd probably take a lot of fooling though, since there's no way to trigger something when a random element's property changes.

Ahh, i see. VG had a variable for it so eq2 doesn't so its "break it and see" time hehe

With the scroll extent, will it refocus the visible area on the bottom or top? I can mess with it and see what i can come up with. In a raid or big debuff group it almost breaks my target window and ... I ... Have ... Put ... Too ... Work ... Into ... IT!!

There really isn't much you can do with the Iconbank object other then how it sorts the icon objects. It'ed be nice if it had a index property but it don't so all you can do is ask Rothgar and maybe he can find the time although I doubt it.

OK, i am trying to do this to a diffrent window since i couldnt really do it to the window i was after now here is the plan boys and girls

Its the maintained windows:

• I have 10 buffs in my window
• Only 8 of these 10 buffs are visible due to the size of the window. (user resiable)
• how do i get it to show the last 8 buffs in the list instead of the first 8?

Thanks,

The ScrollLocation property controls the x,y offset of the viewable area.

To do what I think you're after (scroll the last visible icon into view) I'd do the following...

Note: Pseudo code... and you'll probably have to fiddle with the math to get the desired results, but this should give you a place to start. This assumes your volume page always flows left to right, top to bottom. If instead you are using the edge detection variable flow feature used in the default Maintained window, you'll need to add code to determine the flow and adjust accordingly.

Give each icon page an OnShow script that does the following...

Cols = window.width / iconPage.width
Cols = int(Cols + 0.5)
Rows = window.height / iconPage.height
Rows = int(Rows + 0.5)
LastRow = ceil(iconNumber / Cols)
RowDiff = LastRow - Rows
yOffset = RowDiff * iconPage.height
window.ScrollLocation = "0," ## yOffset

Also give each iconPage an OnHide script that does almost the same thing but subtracts the hidden icon...

LastIconNum = iconNumber -1
Cols = window.width / iconPage.width
Cols = int(Cols + 0.5)
Rows = window.height / iconPage.height
Rows = int(Rows + 0.5)
LastRow = ceil(LastIconNum / Cols)
RowDiff = LastRow - Rows
yOffset = RowDiff * iconPage.height
window.ScrollLocation = "0," ## yOffset

So in short you have scripts on all icons that adjust the scroll location to bring an icon into view if it was previously hidden. Likewise you have scripts on all icons to adjust the scroll location when a previously visible icon is hidden, to remove the now empty space by scrolling the prior visible icon into view.
