ScrollablePane doesn't show up - crash on window resize

[Ident]

I changed the layout a bit and i can resize it without issues. I think what causes the problem is that the child window (statictext) is bigger (in relative dimensions) than the scrollablepane. Apparently this was never noticed to cause such issues and has never been considered to be tested. Clearly this is a bug in CEGUI and not in your code, sorry for earlier statements where I assumed something else. This is a rare find but nevertheless needs to be fixed. However, I can't seem to find a quick fix for this. WRONG: Apparently the ScrollablePane attempts to retrieve its scrollbar, however there is no scrollbar, and this leads to the whole issue..

The window keeps resizing itself recursively through events that are fired. This results in a stack overflow.

Anyways, here is what I changed regarding the StaticText:

Code: Select all

                <Window name="conTextfield" type="TaharezLook/StaticText">
                   
                    <Property name="VertFormatting" value="TopAligned" />
                    <Property name="Area" value="{{0.00230216,0},{-0.645041,0},{0.9,0},{0.349997,0}}" />
                </Window>


So basically I only restricted the right end of the area to relative size of 0.9. This seems to solve it. Please try this small change out and report back if it solves it.

Also please remember to always have a DefaultWindow with rel size 1,1 as root as done in the samples. It is not recommended to use something else as root, as this will lead to issues with event handling (mouse inside/outside) etc.

I can verify that the change in xml fixes the problem. Thanks Ident.

Do you know why the scrollbars dont show up? TaharezLook/ScrollablePane is defined in the layout.

They do show up once you add something as child that exceeds the dimensions of the window. You can also force them to show up via a ScrollablePane property (ForceVertScrollbar etc)

Hmm it seems that no matter how much text I put in the window the bars dont show up.

Please don't diverge from the original topic. Also adding text to the child window clearly does not size the statictext window. Why would you assume that? And even stranger is your assumption that this would influence the parent window. I don't know what you are trying to do but you might wanna look into the Samples to see how things work, i assume you want a scrollbar for the StaticText window which has NOTHING to do with the scrollablePane. For everything that is not related to the bug make a new topic.
