SpiderBasic

Due to the fact that the source code is open, I compiled SpiderBasic with black tabs and made changes to the Language.pb file to make the window menu and compiler settings in my native language. See here

My standard files were always picked up automatically, I just needed to adjust a few things ...

Notifications seems to be a dead thing on browser, in firefox even their example here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API requiers to change an hidden setting to allow notification. I didn't seen one for like years now

According to the ...

LibraryMaker is a good tool for creating libraries.
I just can’t find anywhere how to create constants associated with the library so that the user can use these constants. For example:

Temporary patch until this is resolved:
Define PB_EventType_Resize = #PB_EventType_Resize
Define ScrollAreaGadgetType = #PB_GadgetType_ScrollArea
!var orig_BindGadgetEvent = window.spider_BindGadgetEvent;
!window.spider_BindGadgetEvent = function(gadgetID, callback, eventType) {
! orig ...

The lack of parent object information for gadgets is really frustrating. For instance, having functions like:
GetGadgetParent(#Gadget)
GetGadgetParentType(#Gadget)
This additional data would greatly help in developing extra features. Right now, I have to hook into some functions to track and log ...

For other container gadgets, this has been fixed, but still does not work for ScrollAreaGadget:
Debug "#PB_EventType_Resize = " + #PB_EventType_Resize

Procedure _EventGadget()
Debug "EventType " + EventType()
EndProcedure

Procedure _EventWindow()
ResizeGadget( 0, 10, 10, WindowWidth(0)-20 ...

I will add this in for all mobile app, as it makes no sens to zoom/pan an app

And now this is a big pain in applications that need scaling.
You need to make it possible to both enable scaling and disable it. Now we need to implement hacks and this does not work in the Android application on ...

After some thought, I managed to bind #PB_EventType_Resize to the container gadgets. Generic example:
CompilerIf Not Defined(WBN_Handler_Canvas_Container, #PB_Constant)
#WBN_Handler_Canvas_Container = #True
!window.spider_CanvasGadget = new Proxy( window.spider_CanvasGadget, {
! apply(target ...

For SpiderBasic, I'm creating an algorithm similar to Dock positioning. And here I need GetParent, SetParent(Object). And also PrevObject and NextObject.
The question is how to understand the structure of parent and child objects, because the spider.window and spider.gadget objects are parallel in ...

Looks like a SB bug.



The following event is supported through EventType():

#PB_EventType_Resize: The gadget has been resized.



But the constant is missing:

Debug #PB_EventType_Resize

Tested on SB 2.51 arm64


In the SpiderBasic documentation, #PB_EventType_Resize only exists for ...
