Hey,

If you use absolute positioning for all your widgets, then you can put your widgets overlayed on a (large) WPaintedWidget and draw the lines on this WPaintedWidget:

Create a WContainerWidget with explicit size

• add a WPaintedWidget with explicit size, absolutely positioned (0, 0, width, height)
  -> here you draw the lines
• add a WContainerWidget with explicit size, absoltely positioned (0, 0, width, height) and z-index 100
  -> here you draw the widgets

Hi Koen,

I implemented your solution and it works just fine.

Thank you for your answer.

Hey,

I tryed to modify the pen with

setStyle(DotLine);

I get a visual changement (dotted line) on IE, but the line doesnt change on Chrome / Firefox / Safari.

Is this normal ?

That's because unfortunately canvas does not support dotted lines.

BR,

Wim.

Ok so there is no way to do this for now.

Thank you for your answer.

I am really sorry, to resurrect this thread :-/

but as you, Koen, said "... If you use absolute positioning for all your widgets ..."

what if i positioning all of my widgets with LayoutManagers?

I tried to get the height of my widgets, but they mostly return 0 (in Pixel) because i resize them with WLength::Auto.

Is there a Way to get the Location/Size of the widgets/widgetContainers from the browser?

I attached a screenshot of what i want to do.

That sounds like WWidget::setLayoutSizeAware()

This will cause client-side layout-manager induced size changes to be propagated back to the server.

BR,

Wim.
