Design question: use folders or something else? [message #460909] Tue, 02 January 2007 16:58

Hello all,

I want to create a large area in my Perspective that swaps
under program control between several different "tasks". Ideally
each such task would be its own View: each of task has its own
widgetry, layout, semantics, and binding to the back-end data.

But Perspectives don't support hot-swapping the views they contain.

I can put a single View there and swap the widgetry in and out of it,
but Views seem just right to represent a task.

Maybe I want to use a folder layout and swap views in that? The thing is
that I don't want to show tabs, or even a title bar or decorations.
It should look like a standalone view with no title bar, just the
content provided by view selected by the program and nothing else.
Are folders intended to be useable that way?

If folders are the right idea, is there any overview or tutorial
about how and when to use them?

If not, what's the best way to do it?

Thanks

jwg
