Hello,
I'm currently exploring the possibilities of XWT for building UIs. I'd like to create custom widgets, to avoid redundancies in such a code :
MyUI.xwt :
<Composite>
<Composite>
<Label text="Property 1" />
<Text text="{Databinding path=property1}" />
</Composite>
<Composite>
<Label text="Property 2" />
<Text text="{Databinding path=property2}" />
</Composite>
</Composite>
We can see a common structure between the different items, so I tried to factorise this code by adding a custom widget, which could look something like that :
MyUI.xwt :
<Composite>
<MyStringWidget label="Property 1" bindingPath="property1" />
<MyStringWidget label="Property 2" bindingPath="property2" />
</Composite>
MyStringWidget.xwt :
<Composite>
<Label text="..." />
<Text text="{Binding path=...}" />
</Composite>
But I don't know how to pass custom arguments to a widget written in pure XWT. It is possible in Java/SWT, but it means I would lose two things : the declarative aspect of the custom widget, and the Databinding facility. Is there any way to do that in pure XWT ?
If not, how could I use the XWT Databinding, programmatically ?
Thanks,
Camille

In general, custom widget is supported. But your case is different. You want
simplify the expression of data binding by bindingPath="property1". It is
not possible to use
Custom Widgets. The solution I see is to use the preprocessing: using the
option IXWTLoader.BEFORE_PARSING_CALLBACK for the XWT.load(). The value of
this option should be IBeforeParsingCallback.
