Widget Container

FaizanTayyab

This may be very basic but I have few problems when i try to load the widgets. I want to load all the widgets vertically and have them in minimized state by default. At the moment i do get them lined up vertically but initially they are in open state and then get minimized. This is visible to the user and doesnt look good.

Secondly I want to restrict the scroll of the widgets when all widgets are in view/screen. This is either not working for me or i am missing some setting.

Finally how can i move the widget container controller to start the first widget from specific location.

Can anyone please help.

1. Create Dummy Widget using Border container

2. In WidgetContainer

private function removeDummy(event:AppEvent):void
   {
    var widget:IVisualElement;
    var data:Object = event.data;
    curId = data.id as Number;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < widgetContainer.numElements; i++)
    {
     widget = widgetContainer.getElementAt(i);
     
     var baseWidget:InitMinWidget = widget as InitMinWidget;
     if(baseWidget!=null){
      if (baseWidget.myId == curId)
      {
       widgetContainer.removeElement(baseWidget);
      }
     }
    }
    
   }
public function addMinElement(element:IVisualElement):IVisualElement{
    if (element as SkinnableContainer){
     // Added by FT to add the element in widget Container group
     if(element!=null)
      this.widgetContainer.addElement(element);
    }
    return element;
   }
 private function addWidget(element:IVisualElement):void
            {
                var baseWidget:IBaseWidget = element as IBaseWidget;
                baseWidget.isDraggable = this.isDraggable;
                constrainWidget(baseWidget);
                //widgetContainer.addElement(element);
    widgetContainer.addElementAt(element,Number(baseWidget.widgetId));
            }

3. In Widget Manager

private function preloadNextWidget():void
            {
                if (preloadArray.length > 0)
                {
                    var id:Number = preloadArray[0].id;
                    preloadArray.splice(0, 1);
                    //AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_RUN, id);
     var preload:String = configData.widgets[id].preload;
     var label:String = configData.widgets[id].label;
     var icon:String = configData.widgets[id].icon;
     var config:String = configData.widgets[id].config;
     var url:String = configData.widgets[id].url;
     var preWidget:InitMinWidget = new InitMinWidget();
     preWidget.myId = id
     preWidget.myLabel = label;
     preWidget.myIcon = icon;
     
     var wgtContainer:IWidgetContainer = configData.widgetContainers[0].container.obj;
     
     wgtContainer.addMinWidget(preWidget);
     preInitWidgetArr.push(preWidget);
                }
            }
