Layout Set Up Question
« on: February 20, 2008, 12:22:17 PM »
Hello

I have a slight layout Problem.  I have 4 different "Page" for various stages during the tournament.  I have one which i use for the first 8 levels, it displays the usual things people left etc, I then have another one which is used for the next 3 levels which shows the prize pool and the same details.  After this i have a "Page" which no longer shows Next Break since there are no more breaks.  The final one is the same as number 3 but has the font size of the blinds reduced so that it can accommodate large values like 10000 / 20000 etc. without wrapping onto two lines.

The problem is that in order to accomplish this at the moment, I have to set up a "Screen Set" for each level so that it displays the correct "Page".  Is there anyway to set up a "screen set" so that it will run for Level 1-8 say.  I have tried doing it by other things but rebuys stop long before level 8 so that's not possible.  I can still do it with setting up a screen set for each level but to me it seems like a lot of wasted time

Thanks in Advance
Regards
Ian

There isn't an easier way at the moment.

The plan is to change the Conditions for cells, screen sets, etc, so that they can use a formula, like events do now.  That would make it possible for you to create 1 screen set with a formula like "isRound and roundNumber <= 8", which would cause the screen set to be used for each of the first 8 rounds, instead of what you have to do now, which is create a screen set for each round.

By implementing this, we can also get rid of Property Groups, and just have Property Sets for cells, making them less complex.  Then perhaps a design mode that will lock the main display to the screen you are currently working with on the Layout tab (ie, see changes as you make them), drag-and-drop of cells, rows, columns, on the Layout tab ...  and the list goes on.
