Not true, actionslider and bubble for example do more than that, they allow you to set specific locations. Generally, all the widgets that allow setting specific locations support specific locations. > > So, Why we can send a part name for argument, if we don't care. We do care, and we use it.

Well, in elm_layout for example (which represents an edj file) it's "automatic" i.e you just use the name of the edje part, beacuse that's relevant name there, but otherwise, you can't really know. I can have a couple of edje files per widget, or even more than that, a couple of widgets combined to one widget (many examples for that). > > My problems is in fact, why hidden the power of edje in an elementary widget > ?

But we can't have a label for the slider button. Yes we can (tm), use elm_object_text_set or use elm_object_text_part_set with NULL or "default" as the part. > So, I need > to recode actionslider ?

Yes, there are many issues with elementary, and I (and others) think that elm_object_text_set solves some of them. > > Of course all widgets don't have an edje, but many of them have.

You can easily do it, but you need to define the hook per widget anyhow because it has to know where you keep the edj itself, and finally thanks to this function, it's possible. > What do you think about it ? I don't understand what you are complaining about, it seems that this solves all you need and more. :) -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
