Re: Splitting a frame on command?

Hello Devin,

I don't have a FOX Toolkit example for you and I haven't coded much in 
this API for a while. It's the start of a long holiday weekend here in 
America so odds are low many will look at your request until Tuesday.

Having said that, the description of your problem sounds more 
architectural than syntax. Believing that I'm pointing you towards code  
have using CopperSpice which architecturally is what you have to do.

Look at this source file and follow the m_splitter variable.

https://sourceforge.net/p/reddiamond/code/ci/master/tree/src/edteditwidget.cpp

CopperSpice has a QSplitter class and FOX has an FXSplitter. Syntax will 
be different, but the flow should not be. If it turns out I'm talking 
out my arse I sincerely apologize.

Note how I create the splitter in the constructor and add the primary 
edit widget to it. The splitter gets added to a layout along with other 
widgets and the layout is basically assigned to the parent widget.

Down around line 354 you will note that I add the widget which will 
appear in the "split" to the existing splitter widget after defining the 
direction of the split.

In the GUI world, everything I've ever worked with operates in this 
manner. You don't "split a window", you stick a splitter inside a widget 
and add things to it.

In the MS DOS, RS-232 terminal days of Unix/Linux/VMS/etc. yes, we 
"split a window." We did not have graphical cards with memories. We had 
a token few ASCII commands that could be sent to the terminal and then 
you hoped the terminal did that.
