Description:


This class is only here for backward compatibility;
all functionality is now in VariablePanel. Its orientation can now
be changed dynamically.

A View to separate its subviews horizontally by a movable bar
to adjust the size-ratios.
The bar-handle is either an exposed knob (knobStyle == #motif)
or the forms defined in Scroller (knobStyle ~~ #motif)
or nothing.

The subvies dimensions MUST be given as relative sizes;
typically creation is done as:

    p := VariableHorizontalPanel in:superView.
    v1 := <someViewClass> origin:0.0 @ 0.0
                          corner:0.5 @ 1.0
                              in:p.
    v2 := <someViewClass> origin:0.5 @ 0.0
                          corner:0.8 @ 1.0
                              in:p.
    v3 := <someViewClass> origin:0.8 @ 0.0
                          corner:1.0 @ 1.0
                              in:p.

Examples:


VariableHorizontalPanel is simply setting its orientation to #horizontal. See more examples there. dummy example: 2 views side-by-side
     |top p v1 v2|

     top := StandardSystemView new.
     top extent:300@200.

     p := VariableHorizontalPanel 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:top.

     v1 := View 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:0.5 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v1 viewBackground:Color red.

     v2 := View 
              origin:0.5 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v2 viewBackground:Color green.

concrete example: a selectionInListView and a TextView side-by-side (not useful - need scrollBars; see next example)
     |top p v1 v2|

     top := StandardSystemView new.
     top extent:400@300.

     p := VariableHorizontalPanel 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:top.

     v1 := SelectionInListView 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:0.5 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v1 list:('/etc' asFilename directoryContents).
     v1 useIndex:false.
     v1 action:[:name | v2 contents:('/etc/' , name) 
                             asFilename contentsOfEntireFile
               ].

     v2 := TextView 
              origin:0.5 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:p.

     top open
better - with scrollBars (but that's another story ... see ScrollableView examples for more):
     |top p v1 v2|

     top := StandardSystemView new.
     top extent:400@300.

     p := VariableHorizontalPanel 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:top.

     v1 := ScrollableView for:SelectionInListView 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:0.5 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v1 list:('/etc' asFilename directoryContents).
     v1 useIndex:false.
     v1 action:[:name | v2 contents:('/etc/' , name) 
                             asFilename contentsOfEntireFile
               ].

     v2 := ScrollableView for:TextView 
              origin:0.5 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:p.

     top open
another stupid example: 3-views side-by-side
     |top p v1 v2 v3|

     top := StandardSystemView new.
     top extent:550@200.

     p := VariableHorizontalPanel 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:top.

     v1 := SelectionInListView 
              origin:0.0 @ 0.0
              corner:0.3 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v1 level:-1.
     v1 list:#('one' 'two' 'three' nil 'dont expect' 'something' 'to happen here').

     v2 := EditTextView 
              origin:0.3 @ 0.0
              corner:0.6 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v2 contents:'nonScrollable\EditTextView' withCRs.

     v3 := ScrollableView 
              for:TextView 
              origin:0.6 @ 0.0 
              corner:1.0 @ 1.0
              in:p.
     v3 contents:'scrollable\TextView\\(read only)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\concratulations !\you managed\to scroll down' withCRs.
