Below is an example demonstrating how to toggle the minimized state of dock areas.
// Define an anonymous function; // serves as our main loop, // limits the scope of variables (function(){ /*********************************************************************/ // Boolean : A function for determining whether or not a dock area is minimized function isDockAreaMinimized( oDockArea ) { // Declare working variable var oDockColumn; // Get the number of columns/rows in the dock area var nColumns = oDockArea.getNumColumns(); // Iterate over the columns for( var i = 0; i < nColumns; i += 1 ){ // Get the 'current' column oDockColumn = oDockArea.getColumn( i ); // If the column is minimized if( oDockColumn.isMinimized() ){ // We have found our answer return true; } } // We have found our answer return false; }; /*********************************************************************/ // void : A function for toggling the minimized state of a dock area function toggleDockArea( oDockArea, bHasMinimized ) { // Get the number of columns in the dock area var nColumns = oDockArea.getNumColumns(); // Iterate over the columns for( var i = 0; i < nColumns; i += 1 ){ // Get the 'current' column oDockColumn = oDockArea.getColumn( i ); // If we do not have minimized columns if( !bHasMinimized ){ // Minimize the column oDockColumn.minimize() // If we do have minimized columns } else { // Restore the column oDockColumn.restore() } } }; /*********************************************************************/ // Define the dock areas we want to toggle var bLeft = true; var bRight = true; var bTop = false; var bBottom = false; // --- Determine the minimized state of the dock areas --- // Declare working variable var oDockArea; // Initialize var bHasMinimized = false; // If we want to toggle the left dock area if( bLeft && !bHasMinimized ){ // Get the left dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getLeftDockArea(); bHasMinimized = isDockAreaMinimized( oDockArea ); } // If we want to toggle the right dock area and we have not yet found a minimized state if( bRight && !bHasMinimized ){ // Get the right dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getRightDockArea(); bHasMinimized = isDockAreaMinimized( oDockArea ); } // If we want to toggle the top dock area and we have not yet found a minimized state if( bTop && !bHasMinimized ){ // Get the top dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getTopDockArea(); bHasMinimized = isDockAreaMinimized( oDockArea ); } // If we want to toggle the bottom dock area and we have not yet found a minimized state if( bBottom && !bHasMinimized ){ // Get the bottom dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getBottomDockArea(); bHasMinimized = isDockAreaMinimized( oDockArea ); } // --- Perform the toggle using the minimized state determined --- // If we want to toggle the left dock area if( bLeft ){ // Get the left dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getLeftDockArea(); toggleDockArea( oDockArea, bHasMinimized ); } // If we want to toggle the right dock area if( bRight ){ // Get the right dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getRightDockArea(); toggleDockArea( oDockArea, bHasMinimized ); } // If we want to toggle the top dock area if( bTop ){ // Get the top dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getTopDockArea(); toggleDockArea( oDockArea, bHasMinimized ); } // If we want to toggle the bottom dock area if( bBottom ){ // Get the bottom dock area oDockArea = MainWindow.getBottomDockArea(); toggleDockArea( oDockArea, bHasMinimized ); } // Finalize the function and invoke })();
