New custom control available -- windowshade

[Geoff Canyon]

I don't know what to call the thing. I've seen them called  
navigators, and accordions. I'm calling it a windowshade, since  
that's what it reminds me of. It's that control that displays a set  
of titles, each of which is like a separate tab. You click on any of  
them and the rest slide out of the way to show you the controls on  
that pane of the control.

You can have a quick look by using this in the messagebox:

go stack url "http://www.inspiredlogic.com/windowshade/windowshadec.rev"

You can also download a zip file at:

The stack contains sliders and buttons and a field to help  
demonstrate, but the only control you need is the group called  
"windowshade". It's self-contained. The only script is the one in the  
main group.

It's ready to use -- just put whatever you want into the group  
"PaneContents" in each of the panes.

You can have any number of panes, set the color of them, and the  
height of their titles.

The main group accepts these commands:

-- sets the width of the whole control
set the xWidth of group "Windowshade" to <whatever width you like>

-- sets the height of the whole control
set the xHeight of group "Windowshade" to <whatever height you like>

-- sets the color of the titles of all the panes except the hilited pane
set the defaultColor of group "Windowshade" to <a color>

-- sets the color of the title of the hilited pane
set the hilitedColor of group "Windowshade" to <a color>

-- sets the number of panes
set the paneCount of group "Windowshade" to <the number of panes you  
want>

-- hand it a set of titles (on individual lines). Sets the number of  
panes to the number needed, and sets the titles of them to the list  
of values.
set the paneTitles of group "Windowshade" to <a line list>

-- set the height of the titles
set the paneTitleHeight of group "Windowshade" to <the height you want>

-- set which pane is showing
set the hilitedPane of group "Windowshade" to <one of the panes by  
number>
