Manipulate Composite/View dynamically [message #845027]

Hi,

Im stuck to a problem I couldn't find a solution for. Following scenario:
I have a viewpart or composite that is created when the application is started. Everything works fine but now I want to add a new gui item (e.g. labels or other composites) to the view/composite when the user clicks on a button.

How can I achieve this goal? Everything I tried didn't work. I could just see something *new* when I refreshed the application by pressing f5 in the browser. I guess RAP renders the ui once when it's initialized. Is there a workaround for? It is possible to force RAP to refresh/redraw the ui?

Hope you can help me Smile

Sincerely
Superhans

Hi Superhans,

Widgets that are added in direct response to a user interaction are
rendered immediately. But without re-layouting they will not become
visible. Try to call layout() on the widget's parent after adding.

Regards, Ralf
