Obtain current Zoom Position of Panel in Module

[moto3101]

Hello together,

I am looking for a solution for a problem with the ZoomModule function

Lets say we have a module M where we load a big panel P. The panel is bigger than the module and so it is displayed with scroll bars. So far so good.
Now I have an object O in panel P, which I would like to bring in focus, for this we obtain the x and y position of the object and use

Code: Select all

ZoomModule()

.

However, I am now looking for a way to obtain the current x and y "zoom position" of the module (

Code: Select all

getZoomFactor()

does only provide the factor).

I would also be satisfied if there would be a function to check whether a specific shape is currently in the visible range of the scrolled/zoomed panel.


Background information:
For very big panels, ZoomModule fails if called at an early stage. Just observing the _ui datapoint

Code: Select all

 .Zoom.ModuleName:

does not guarantee the module really executed the command. So, in case it fails, we need to make sure to send the ZoomModule command again after a certain time. For this, we somehow need to check whether zoomModule was successful and the shape has been "zoomed" to.


Thanks in advance!

With the function 'panelPosition' or the panel property 'mapToGlobal' it should be possible to determine the panel position.
