I wanted to include a screen shot inside my reply and no matter what I tried to do when clicking the "Insert Image" button no pictures were added/embedded to my reply.

BTW, your sample/snippet did the trick... I did not have the MarkupUIElement line formatted correctly (Clarion Syntax) and now I'm trying to get the StackPanel objects to work.

Thanks,

Dave

The UI seems a bit weird in the "Insert Image" button/form and nothing ever shows up in the preview.

Hi Dave,

What do you mean?

Hi Dave,

This is most simple sample

Dim Context As MarkupContext
Dim TextBlock1 As MarkupTextBlock

Set Context = MarkupLabel1.MarkupContext
Set TextBlock1 = Context.CreateObject("TextBlock")
TextBlock1.Text = "Test"
Set MarkupLabel1.MarkupUIElement = TextBlock1

Hi Aaron,

Clarion does have a Group Control and a Region Control, I have tried using both without success. I have been able to use a Clarion Windowed Procedure where you pass the Handle of the Window to the docking pane and it does allow the Markuplabel to re-size within the pane but the drawback is that the SyntaxEditor inside another docking pane generates a GPF when you click within the control about 60% of the time. I'm still working on it.

As for the sample. Thanks, but I have the MarkupLabel working properly using the caption="XAML code" property.

?MarkupLabel{'Caption'} = 'I've been using it in Popups/ToolTips and standard Markup Labels for a while without any problems.

What I can't get to work in Clarion is the MarkUp Objects...

Sample...
Context_ = ?CJMARKUPLABEL{'MarkupContext'}
TextBlock1_ = ?CJMARKUPLABEL{ Context_ & '.CreateObject("TextBlock")'}
?CJMARKUPLABEL{TextBlock1_ & '.Text'} = 'Test NUMBER 1'

Displays nothing

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

Copied one of (working) MarkUp string from ReportControl subforum:

[CodeToolBox] Newsletter (10 May 2004)

should display: [CodeToolBox] Newsletter (10 May 2004)

About dockingpanes: As I said before, sometimes you can't just attach 'hwnd' of a control to a pane and that's why I always use a picturebox. Does Clarion have somekind of container where you can put a control into? In VB we have a PictureBox and GroupBox, maybe Clarion has same kind of controls...

MarkupLabel as a container : Hello guys,@AaronSame controls......

Hello guys,

@Aaron
Same controls... different language.

Unfortunately the Clarion Image control does not work the same way as the VB picture control. I can't stuff the Markup object into it.
The other CJ controls(except the Browser control) seem to "re-size" in a docking pane okay, while the Markup stays in a fixed size and location and draws on top of the Docking pane area beneath it.

@Aaron & Jason:
I've been toying with Markup objects and I get valid handles but I never see anything on the screen, I don't see a "refresh" or "display" method any ideas on what I'm missing or do you have a simple example you could post?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

Jason: What do you mean by your previous reply?

@davbrat: You can always put Markup control inside a picturebox (This is what I ALWAYS do with all controls because of "sometimes it doesn't work problem") and use picturebox resize event to resize Markup control and it works OK

davbrat - Sorry, I'm not sure, I don't use the docking pane. Maybe someone else has tried it? Or if you give it a try, can you post the results back here?

Hi Aaron - I just realized why you thought this might work for the images problem - I posted my BETA note to the wrong thread :(

I meant to post it here.

Can it be placed inside a DockingPane and does it handle resizing within the pane correctly?

Thanks,

Dave
