I was able to make it over to The Hive last night to see Juan “the hard core super star Degrafa Guy” Sanchez present Degrafa at the RMAUG. I just made up that name, but it fits, so he’s welcome to it if he likes.
Dave and company have a new home at The Hive, which is a very sweet co-working facility here in Denver.
Juan’s session was well timed, i had spent a good chunk of the day figuring out how to skin a link button. Turned out livedocs was spot on with it’s example (go figure). But after watching Juan skin a button, I was wishing we had Degrafa in the project I’m on. I did think about using it, but figured that was a decision to be discussed before I committed a whole new library of code.
So my solution, worked well enough, but the Degrafa way is killer.
In a Skin file…
<code>
<fills>
<SolidFill
color=”#936″
id=”myFill”/>
</fills>
<geometry>
<RoundedRectangleComplex
state=”upSkin”
width=”{awidth}”
height=”{aheight}”
bottomLeftRadius=”10″
bottomRightRadius=”20″
topLeftRadius=”15″
fill=”{myFill}” />
<RoundedRectangleComplex
state=”overSkin”
width=”{awidth}”
height=”{aheight}”
fill=”{myFill}” />
</geometry>
</GraphicBorderSkin>
<code>
There’s some AS at the top, but that’s the jist of stateful skinning of a button. degrafa FTW!
