having indent only in first column

[damqui]

hi,

I'm trying to implement a "property view" (like http://www.openrtm.org/openrtm/sites/default/files/697/fig473TypePropertyView_en.png).
With this naive code :

ImGui::Begin("PropView");
ImGui::Columns(2);
ImGui::Text("name1");
ImGui::NextColumn();
ImGui::Text("value1");
ImGui::NextColumn();
bool Tree = ImGui::TreeNode("tree1");
ImGui::NextColumn();
ImGui::NextColumn();
if (Tree) {
    ImGui::Text("name2");
    ImGui::NextColumn();
    ImGui::Text("value2");
    ImGui::NextColumn();
    ImGui::TreePop();
}
ImGui::End();

i got this result :

How to remove the indent in the second column ?
(didn't find any nice way of doing it)

thanks !

I'll have to think about the best fix, but it probably involve the confusedly named ColumnsStartX (should be renamed to IndentX?) in the context be a per-column thing.

For now a possible workaround would be, after calling NextColumn() on the right column to to do:

#include <imgui_internal.h>
ImGuiWindow* window = GetCurrentWindow();
window->DC.CursorPos.x -= window->window->DC.ColumnsStartX;

ok.
tried the workaround, but it unindents too much.
btw, the indent is okay while dragging the column separator.

Maybe something like:

ImGui::Columns(2);
ImGui::Text("name1");
ImGui::NextColumn();
ImGui::Text("value1");
ImGui::NextColumn();
bool Tree = false;
if ((Tree=ImGui::TreeNode("tree1"))) ImGui::TreePop();
ImGui::NextColumn();
ImGui::NextColumn();
if (Tree) {
    ImGui::Text("\tname2"); // indent
    ImGui::NextColumn();
    ImGui::Text("value2");
    ImGui::NextColumn();
}
ImGui::End();

Try

#include <imgui_internal.h>
ImGuiWindow* window = GetCurrentWindow();
window->DC.CursorPos.x -= window->window->DC.ColumnsStartX + window->WindowPadding.x;

(not tested. obviously this is just workaround)

I've fixed the bug and added an example on a way to do a property editor using the columns api.

There are a few subtle/minor issues with tree node rendering that I'm working on (related to #324, #282), but nothing really problematic.

Cool ! thanks !
