[Moose-dev] Re: [Roassal] Nested nodes and RODraggable

Hi Roberto, I don't understand, do you still need the names of the week? If you do, you can follow the same idea and add something like this between the 'month name' and 'days' node: view shape rectangleWithoutBorder . view interaction forwarder. view node: 'days names' forIt:[ view shape label. view interaction forwarder. view nodes: #('Sun' 'Mon' 'Tues' 'Wed' 'Thu' 'Fri' 'Sat'). ]. For now the text does not zoom, but it is in the TODO list :) Vanessa.

For the interaction, using "interaction forwarder" I think makes what you want. Does this work for you? > Yep. I already solved that issue with the 'forwarder'.

I set my inner nodes (i.e, days) to be not draggable since I do not want the user to drag them, but I want the user to be able to drag the entire shape representing a month (i.e., outer node). As an effect to drag the month you should explicitly start the dragging from the outer node but this is counter intuitive. I'd like to be able to drag the month also from its inner nodes (days). >>> >>> Is there a way to propagate the interaction and from the inner nodes I can drag the container shape? >>> ____ >>> >>> Thanks in advance, >>> Roberto >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Moose-dev mailing list >>> Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch >>> https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> Moose-dev mailing list >> Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch >> https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev > > _______________________________________________ > Moose-dev mailing list > Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch > https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev > _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev
