Hi,
I have a Part which resides under the PartSashContainer -> PartStack hierarchy. I need to put another PartSashContainer within this part so then I can put two other Parts in it and display them both at the same time (PartSashContainer -> PartStack -> PartSashContainer -> (Part x 2)). Is there a way of doing this by using the e4xmi? As each part has its own popup menu and those have complex 'visible-when' rules, I'd like to do it by using the e4xmi instead of the WindowBuilder if possible.
Thanks in advance,
O.

Too funny. I was just trying to do this today!
I solved my design problem by just embedding the two controls together. Not what I wanted to do, bit it worked.
In general, I try to structure my code so that I never write much, if any, UI code in the part level code (view, for e3). For each Part I have a BlahBlahView class that does the minimum necessary to connect to the outside framework. All the specific ui is in a BlahBlahPanel class, which inherits from Composite. The View creates the Panel through ContextInjectionFactory, so I still get all the good dependency injection stuff.
The benefit of this approach is that your real UI work is done at the Composite level. It becomes a relatively easy matter to adapt to changes and re-use UI work. Normally that is so I can accept changes form the UX team later in the cycle. In this case, I was able to work around the limitation you hit here.
Just thought I would hold that out as a design approach that helps deal with this and similar problems.

Hi Eric,
I've recently upgraded to Luna (20131003-0825 build to be precise) but still can't add a PartSashContainer under a Part. Is this feature still targeted to be added to Luna at some point or likely to be postponed to a later release?
I have already implemented what I need in a way similar to what Jo described but if this support is introduced to e4xmi, I'm happy to update the design.
Regards,
Ozgur.
