Can't customize animation effect with showMember()/hideMember()

[claudiobosticco]

Hello, is it expected that the animateShowEffect and animateHideEffect settings are ignored when calling layout.showMember(member) or layout.hideMember(member)?

I tried modifying the animateLayout sample to test this behaviour. Here's the code:

isc.defineClass("StarImg", "Img").addProperties({
    width:48, height:48,
    layoutAlign:"center",
    appImgDir:"pieces/48/"
})

isc.HStack.create({
    ID:"starsLayout",
    top:50, membersMargin:10, layoutMargin:10, showEdges:true,
    animateMembers:true,
    animateShowEffect:"fade",
    animateHideEffect:"fade",
    members:[
        isc.StarImg.create({src:"star_blue.png"}),
        isc.StarImg.create({src:"star_green.png", ID:"greenStar"}),
        isc.StarImg.create({src:"star_yellow.png"})
    ]
})

isc.IButton.create({
    title:"Hide",
    icon:"pieces/16/star_green.png",
    iconOrientation:"right",
    click: "starsLayout.hideMember(greenStar)"
})

isc.IButton.create({
    title:"Show", left:120,
    icon:"pieces/16/star_green.png",
    iconOrientation:"right",
    click: "starsLayout.showMember(greenStar)"
})

However, the effect always appears to be a default slide, regardless of the animateShowEffect or animateHideEffect settings. Is there a way to customize the animation when using showMember / hideMember (or layout.setVisibleMember(member))?

Hi Claudio
layout.hideMember() and showMember() do not take the animateHideEffect / animateShowEffect into account. There is a way to configure the animation effect when animateMembers is true but this is currently undocumented. We'll look at exposing this capability.

However in the meantime you could just call animateHide() / animateShow() on the members directly instead of using hideMember() / show Member(). In this usage you'd either set animateHideEffect / animateShowEffect on the members themselves (not the layout), or you could pass the effect you want to use into animateHide() / animateShow() as a parameter
