Scrolling

ColinRuleColinRule
in SRP Popup Control
I am putting several lines of text in a popup.
Is there any way to make it autosize to allow everything to be displayed.
There is no scroll bar concept.

Also, is there a way to have CRLFs show.

And another, is there a way to close the popup by clicking on it, to avoid having to wait for the delay.
I have used the button on click, but that means the user sees the button effect and has to click on the text.

    Colin,

    The SRP Popup is under your control. It will not automate anything. This was a design decision we made early on to provide maximum flexibility without worrying about over-engineering the control. So...
    • No autosize and no scrollbar. You'll have to use the Size property ahead of time.
    • It supports word wrapping but not line breaks (as I recall). Our wrapper generates multiple Items as needed to accommodate line break support. We analyze our Item requirements first and then set the Size property accordingly.

    You can create a button to occupy the entire size of the SRP Popup. Just leave the background color as transparent. This effectively makes the entire SRP Popup a clickable window.

    Colin,

    As Don said, maximum flexibility because it is under your control.
    For the close concept, I build the popup size to suit the message, again as Don recommends, but then I insert a button with a close icon in the top rh corner. So once I know the number of items required for the message, it is just one more item.

    When the promoted ole event receives a click on a popup it basically checks if it is a button and item 1 and if so, close the popup. That way you don't have to worry about the content of the popup, just know that the user wants it closed.
