Starting position of floating widgets

EddieJesinsky — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 14:58:33 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering if and how it is possible to get my floating widgets to start right-aligned. Right now they open right under their menu.

Additionally, is it possible to get the TileLayout to start from right to left instead of left to right?

Adding floating widgets to the VerticalLayout would be nice, but currently if you do so all of the widgets scroll and if you move one widget the others immediately lock to the right side.

Thanks

I think what I want to do is have two widgetcontainers, one vertical (VerticalLayout) and one float (BasicLayout). What I would like to be able to do is have:

- widgets start in the vertical container with enabled drag/resize
- widgets move to the float container upon dragging the widget for the first time
- have an icon in the widget headers that 'docks' by moving the widget back to the vertical container.

Are there any comments of the feasibility of this, and ideas of how I would implement the movement of the widgets from one container to another

Eddie,

I think that this is feasible, but you should be patient and see what the FlexViewer 2.1 has to offer before putting any more though or time into this.
