Okay, but if I have multiple Window object and I randomly load an object into my frame. In this case I have access to only the Container object and if I have to suppose disable a button in my window then I need the Button object. And in this case I don't have location of bxml file, hence I don't think BXMLSerializer can be used.

However, as Chris noted, getNamedComponent() is not recursive. If you want access to all values declared with IDs in your BXML file, you should use BXMLSerializer.getNamespace().get() or implement Bindable in your root element.

It does *not* check to see if those Components are actually instances of Container, and then recursively iterate over them. It appears that none of the standard Pivot Containers override this method at look into child Containers, so you would need to roll your own method if you need to do that. Bear in mind that theContainer#getNamedComponent(String) method attempts to match against Component#getName(). BXMLSerializer sets the Component's name property to the same value as the bxml:id as a convenience, but these are 2 separate values. The Component's name can be set explicity in BXML as follows. <PushButton bxml:id="Button1" name="Foo" buttonData="%Button1”/> or in java (including at runtime) with myComponent.setName("Foo"); If you wanted to find this PushButton by name you would have to supply a value of "Foo", and not "Button1" It will often be more convenient to use the @BXML annotation to pick up objects in your code. The section titled 'The Bindable Interface' in the following tutorial contains more info. http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/stock-tracker.ui.html Chris On 2 February 2011 17:43, Aanjaneya Shukla <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I am having some issues using ‘getNamedComponent’ method.
