StatusInteractivePopUpWindow is very useful. I find myself using it a lot to show a quick input centered within the current glyph editor. (These are little interfaces like the built in "jump to glyph.") Positioning these requires a bit of code that I've been copy/pasting from script to script. I've repeated it enough that I'm wondering if it should be part of mojo. Here's the code:
from mojo.UI import CurrentGlyphWindow, StatusInteractivePopUpWindow
def getGlyphEditorRectAndScreen(editorWindow):
screen = editorWindow.w.getNSWindow().screen()
nsWindow = editorWindow.w.getNSWindow()
scrollView = editorWindow.getGlyphView().enclosingScrollView()
rectInWindowCoords = scrollView.convertRect_toView_(scrollView.frame(), None)
rectInScreenCoords = nsWindow.convertRectToScreen_(rectInWindowCoords)
(screenX, screenY), (screenWidth, screenHeight) = screen.frame()
(x, y), (w, h) = rectInScreenCoords
y = -(y + h)
return (x, y, w, h), screen
class MyThing(object):
def __init__(blah):
# ...
width = 370
height = 505
editorWindow = CurrentGlyphWindow()
(editorX, editorY, editorW, editorH), screen = getGlyphEditorRectAndScreen(editorWindow)
x = editorX + ((editorW - width) / 2)
y = editorY + ((editorH - height) / 2)
self.w = StatusInteractivePopUpWindow((x, y, width, height), screen=screen)
# ...
Here's what I'm thinking could be added to mojo:
from mojo.UI import CurrentGlyphWindow, StatusInteractivePopUpWindow
class MyThing(object):
self.w = StatusInteractivePopUpWindow((w, h), centerInView=CurrentGlyphWindow().getGlyphView())
The centerInView arg would take a NSView object. It would check to see if the view is enclosed in a scroll view and, if so, use the scroll view as the view to center within.
I'd be happy to contribute code to do this if you like the idea.
