Shell clipped within a View possible? [message #506757]

Hello RAP-Community!

I've put a shell as a child of a top level shell. But it's still possible to drag the child shell outside of the parent shell.

Is it possible to put a shell or something similar into a parent container (view, workbenchpage...) so it can't be draged out of that parent container and if it will be maximized it will fill the whole containers content area? (screenshots which describes this: http://www.wartower.de/shell_clipped.jpg, http://www.wartower.de/shell_maximized.jpg)

I tried to control the maximazation and the drag and drop of a shell thriugh listeners. But the mouse listerner and the shell listener are not called at all. Are these listeners not working in RAP?

Is it somehow possible to override the maximazation method or the drag & drop mechanism to implement my own one?

Is wehre something similar in RAP/SWT like shells but maybe based on a composite?

Maybe someone has an idea.

Best Regards
Eduard Seibel

Hi Eduard,

I don't see a nice way to accomplish such a task without writing your
own widget (which is a big task for such a usecase). But depending on
how your overall usecase, it may be an option to have a static html page
as your UI and let the RAP application run inside an iframe. This is
something we did on our page
( http://eclipsesource.com/en/downloads/eclipse-galileo-downlo ad/ - click
Customize Download).

Regards,
Benny
