Implement a Column Widget ------------------------- Key: OFBIZ-4080 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4080 Project: OFBiz Issue Type: Wish Components: framework Reporter: Bruno Busco Priority: Minor
Some time ago there was a discussion on the dev mailing list about how to implement something to display contents in columns on screens. I cut and past an Adrian's idea that is something we should consider to implement. -------------------------- >From the screen widget XML perspective, it could look like this: <column-container> <column name="first-column"> <!-- column contents --> </column> <column name="second-column"> <!-- column contents --> </column> ... </column-container> The column elements can contain additional column-container elements. The column element can have an attribute to specify its width as a percentage of the column-container width. Pixel widths should be avoided since the screen widgets are supposed to be rendering device agnostic. The column-container and column elements will support the common screen widget attributes like name, style, id, etc. The column-container could support a type attribute that controls how the contained columns behave. For example, type="splitter" will render the contained columns as a splitter window. >From the widget model perspective, the column-container manages resizing >columns when one of them is collapsed or its width changes. Column size >information needs to be kept in the rendering context. The information would >start off with some default values that are overridden by user preferences. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
