[Closed] Absolute layout LayoutBounds and LayoutFlag extension

[danielftz]

I propose a ViewInAbsoluteLayoutExtensions static class, where LayoutBounds and LayoutFlag static methods (and their overlaods) are implemented. I have already coded these up in my own project, just thought you could be useful being in the package itself.

@danielftz thanks for the proposal. Could you provide the API spec for this feature? That will help us to make a decision.

[danielftz]

MCT markup is currently missing helper extension methods for Absolute layout attached properties, specifically LayoutBounds and LayoutFlags.

API

public static TView LayoutFlags<TView>(this TView view, AbsoluteLayoutFlags flag) where TView : View
		
public static TView LayoutBounds<TView>(this TView view, int x, int y) where TView : View
		
public static TView LayoutBounds<TView>(this TView view, Point point) where TView : View

public static TView LayoutBounds<TView,TCoord>(this TView view, TCoord x, TCoord y) where TView : View where TCoord : Enum
		
public static TView LayoutBounds<TView>(this TView view, int x, int y, int width , int height) where TView : View

public static TView LayoutBounds<TView, TCoord>(this TView view, TCoord x, TCoord y, TCoord width, TCoord height) where TView : View where TCoord : Enum

public static TView LayoutBounds<TView>(this TView view, Point point, Size size) where TView : View
		
public static TView LayoutBounds<TView>(this TView view, Rectangle rectangle) where TView : View

Scenario

BoxView label = new BoxView
{
}.LayoutBounds(0, 0, 10, 10)
.LayoutFlags(AbsoluteLayoutFlags.None);

Difficulty

Low

Suggestions are very welcome. I think there is a possibility that there are too many overloads...

Will I be assigned a pull request? Or do I make a pull request myself? Or how does this work?

We need to discuss and vote on this idea first.

Thanks @danielftz! Could you open a New Feature Proposal, and we'll vote to approve it at our next Standup.
