I think there's not really a great way to do it. You can try using castToContainer and catching an the exception that gets thrown when it fails. Arguably there should be some safeCast functions which return Maybe's. Is there a reason you can't keep track yourself of which widgets are containers and which aren't? That really seems like what you ought to do (and just generally seems like a good idea anyway). ~d ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
