Rearrangement of controls [message #492162] Mon, 19 October 2009 08:18 Go to next message

Hi,

the SWT-API allows to change the parent of controls (on some OS) via

public boolean setParent ( Composite parent );

Since qooxdoo also allows to change the parent, is it possible to add this
feature to RAP?

Regards, Niels

The N&N say that this is possible since 1.3M2
(http://www.eclipse.org/rap/noteworthy/news_13M2.php)
However, I haven't tried it yet.

Regards,
Stefan.

Hi,

reparenting is not yet possible in RAP. The methods
Control#isReparentable() and Control#setParent() both return false. We
implemented these methods to enable single sourcing.

Our experience is that qooxdoo (at least 0.7.x) does not really support
reparenting. We need this feature at some places (e.g. the parent of
controls added to ToolBars can change on the client) and found lots of
related problems. A general support for reparenting in RAP will be
extremely hard if not impossible to implement with the current qooxdoo
version.

Best regards, Ralf
