WebDialog.new Documented

MartinRinehart · 29 Aug 2009, 13:23

Alternate to the API docs, with help. This is for PC:

title - string - This text will appear in the title bar of your WebDialog

scrollable - boolean - This is a NOP. You get scrollbars, regardless. Workaround: <body scroll=no>.

key - string - If this is nil or an empty string, your dialog's size/location is stored in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_". You should definitely include here the name of your Ruby, which will be concatenated:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_MyRuby"

width, height, left, top - integers - size/location, in pixels, of the first appearance of your WebDialog. All subsequent appearances will be taken from the registry entry.

resizeable - boolean - if false, your user cannot resize the dialog. Defaults to true, if omitted.

Edited to include help from Thomas Thomassen and Jim Foltz. Thanks guys!

boolean - (This appears in Lininger's article re Ruby-JS communication. Anyone have a clue what this does?)

resizable, I think?

Right. Thanks.

Re scrollbars, for IE use the following in the body css

overflow:auto;

This shows scrollbars if they're needed, otherwise they disappear

Now, how do we bridge the gap between this post and the official docs?

I added a link to this thread in this thread http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17047 which Scott uses to update the docs.

I'll ask Scott if filing bug reports would help him. That way, he would not need to check the thread and just use the bug reporting system he already uses for code.

thomthom · 1 Sept 2009, 15:02

Good idea - that thread is very long now.

Scott says Thomas' thread is "still the best place to report doc errors or contribute examples, etc."

Report Ruby bugs and Ruby documentation issues in this thread .
