In some languages, the buttons would end up outside of window bounds, as changing the BTextView content does not automatically update the window size (even with B_AUTO_UPDATE_SIZE_LIMITS). So, we need to manually call ResizeToPreferred after changing the text. However, this exposed another problem: the view size is computed using GetHeightForWidth, with a width as small as allowed by layout constraints. In our cases, there weren't much layout constraints so we would end up asking the text view to compute its height for a width of 52px, leading to a very high window. Add some explicit sizing constraints to the text view and language list to make sure we get a sane size. Also tweak the layout a little to allow the keymap menu field to be wider than the language list view, and make the window not resizable as that makes it much easier to keep things under control and there isn't really a need to resize it.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
