Hi, guys!

I need resizable and movable view for my program, maybe someone knows an example and can share it.

Thanks in advance! :)

I have somewhat of an example on my old iPad. It is charging right now. I will see if I can post it when it is finished.

I've attempted this several times.

I'll be very grateful.

@xzxzxc, link to forum discussion maybe helpful for you. I have never tried to do it before, will be interested to see @TutorialDoctor 's approach.

• Draggable Window
• Resizable Winow

These were tests I never finished. Perhaps they might give you ideas?

here is a very simple example @xzxzxc

import ui

class customView(ui.View):
  '''a view that can be moved and resized
  '''
  def __init__(self,**kvargs):
    super().__init__(self,**kvargs)
    self.button = ui.Button()
    self.button.image = ui.Image("iob:arrow_resize_24")
    self.button.frame = (10,10,24,24)
    self.button.touch_enabled = False
    self.add_subview(self.button)
  def touch_moved(self, touch):
     x,y = touch.location
     xp,yp = touch.prev_location
     dx = x-xp
     dy = y-yp
     if x < 40 and y < 40:
       self.width -= dx
       self.height -= dy
     self.x += dx
     self.y += dy

# a top level view
gv = ui.View(background_color='white',name='global view')
gv.present('fullscreen')

view2 = customView(background_color='white',name='view1')
gv.add_subview(view2)
s = view2.superview
s = s.width/2-20
view2.frame = (s+30, 10, s, s+60)
view2.border_width = 2
view2.border_color = '#0016ff'
view2.alpha = 0.9
view2.corner_radius = 15

here is a slightly more elaborate example

import ui

class customView(ui.View):
  '''a view that can be moved and resized
  '''
  def __init__(self,**kvargs):
    super().__init__(self,**kvargs)
    self.frame = (0,0,500,500)
    self.wmin = 300
    self.hmin = 300
    iv = ui.ImageView()
    iv.image = ui.Image('iob:arrow_expand_24')
    iv.frame = (500-28, 500-28, 24, 24)
    iv.flex = 'LT'
    self.add_subview(iv)
    iv = ui.ImageView()
    iv.image = ui.Image('iob:ios7_circle_outline_32')
    iv.frame = (500-32, 500-32, 32, 32)
    iv.flex = 'LT'
    self.add_subview(iv)
  def touch_moved(self, touch):
     x,y = touch.location
     xp,yp = touch.prev_location
     dx = x-xp
     dy = y-yp
     if x > self.width - 40 and y > self.height - 40:
       self.width += dx
       self.height += dy
       if self.width < self.wmin: self.width = self.wmin
       if self.height < self.hmin: self.height = self.hmin
     else:
       self.x += dx
       self.y += dy

# a top level view
gv = ui.View(background_color='white',name='global view')
gv.present('fullscreen')

# the custom view
view2 = customView(background_color='white',name='view2')
gv.add_subview(view2)
s = view2.superview
s = s.width/2-20
view2.frame = (s+30, 10, s, s+60)
view2.border_width = 2
view2.border_color = '#0016ff'
view2.alpha = 0.9
view2.corner_radius = 15

# something to put inside
view3 = ui.View(background_color='red',name='view3')
view3.frame = (20,20,300,150)
view3.flex = 'BR' # this defines how the content will resize
view2.add_subview(view3)

view4 = ui.View(background_color='orange',name='view4')
view4.frame = (20,200,300,200)
view4.flex = 'WH' # this defines how the content will resize
view2.add_subview(view4)
