Zooming in the Zoom Navigator

[eMTy]

Hi everyone,

is there a way, to zoom a panel directly in the zoom navigator?
I mean, that if I'm zooming (f.e.) with the zoomslider, I like to zoom
the shown panel directly in the zoom navigator and not the panel from
which I opened the zoom navigator I hope I described it well :S

Hello Michel,

you explained it well enough...

First - we zoom modules that contain a panel (you dont zoom the actual panel but only the module where a panel is contained).
Now to the actual problem:
The zoomn mavigator is a reference that has a $-parameter $ModuleName.
Here you should give the name of the module you like to zoom.

Example:
If you use the panel topology and you insert the zoom navigator in the navi-Panel then of course you want to zoom the panel inside the mainModule and not the naviModule.
Therefore you have to give the correct module name - now here is a little problem with multi monitoring.
The existant reference only has one $-parameter for the module name and if you would state there "mainModule_1" (that is the name of the main module on the first screen all of those buttons (on second and third screen) will everytime zoom mainModule_1
therefore you have to change the script a little bit:
use myModulename to find out on what screen the button was pressed (extract the postfix number behind the "_")
and this number you add to your static "mainModule_".
"mainModule_" + screennumber


best regards

Another Problem, but still for the Zoom Navigator Is it possible, to zoom in or out with the mouse wheel?

Hi Michel,

the zoom navigator uses a slider to set the zoom factor.
Every slider may also be operated with the mouse wheel, although you have to place the mouse pointer somewhere over the slider.
When doing so, the mouse wheel interaction will automatically affect the position of the slider.
