In a previous example, “Toggling the gripper on a WindowedApplication container in Adobe AIR”, we saw how you can toggle the gripper on an Adobe AIR WindowedApplication container by setting the Boolean showGripper property.

The following example shows how you can set the padding around the gripper on an Adobe AIR WindowedApplication container by setting the gripperPadding style.

Full code after the jump.

<mx:WindowedApplication name="WindowedApplication_gripperPadding_test"
        xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        gripperPadding="{slider.value}"
        showStatusBar="{checkBox.selected}">
 
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Form>
            <mx:FormItem label="gripperPadding:">
                <mx:HSlider id="slider"
                        minimum="0"
                        maximum="10" 
                        value="3" 
                        snapInterval="1" 
                        tickInterval="1" 
                        liveDragging="true" />
            </mx:FormItem>
            <mx:FormItem label="showStatusBar:">
                <mx:CheckBox id="checkBox"
                        selected="true" />
            </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
 
</mx:WindowedApplication>

Next, edit the application’s XML file and edit the following lines:

<!-- The type of system chrome to use (either "standard" or "none"). Optional. Default standard. -->
<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
 
<!-- Whether the window is transparent. Only applicable when systemChrome is none. Optional. Default false. -->
<transparent>true</transparent>
