Sefler), 2001/07/18 14:49:45, seq: 1 rel: 0 action: open> When more perspectives are opened than whose icon can physically be stacked on the left edge of the application, a scrollable widget of some sort should be added to the bottom of the perspective icon stack to allow me to scroll down to the newly opened perspectives. Yes - I understand that you need to open many (over ~20) perspectives to consume the physical space, but since it is allowed, the GUI should better handle it. NOTES:
PRODUCT VERSION: Win2000, R09
It would be even better if items could be rearraged as well. One of the changes we are going to need to make is to start using the SWT coolbar control (required to look like a good XP application). Check with the SWT team to see if we can make the switch now. The Coolbar control should allow for scrolling and rearranging items. It may be possible to use this control to show the fastview icons as well.
The CoolBar doesn't support scrolling of the toolbar. It supports creation of a drop down menu for items that are not visible. That aside, currently the SWT CoolBar is horizontal only. I'm not sure if that is because the platform widget can only be vertical or if that aspect of the CoolBar has not been implemented. If true scrolling of the toolbar is wanted, some kind of scrollable viewport widget should be used. Reassigning to KH for comment.
Consider as a post 2.0 enhancement.
There is a style bit that can be set in the Windows Rebar control: CCS_VERT Version 4.70. Causes the control to be displayed vertically. Also: RBS_VERTICALGRIPPER Version 4.71. The size grip will be displayed vertically instead of horizontally in a vertical rebar control. This style is ignored for rebar controls that do not have the CCS_VERT style. Have *not* tried setting the bits, so not sure how many isseus exist. We were careful to give our height/width related API names like "setSize(Point)", "SetPreferredSize(Point)", "setMinimumSize(Point)"... so just in case we go vertical, you won't have to flip the meanings of the words 'width' and 'height'.
Reopen to investigate
Perspective switching has changed significantly since this defect was entered.
