A widget container

[Haider_Ali]

i want to create a menu widget controller  that will group the widgets in the form of menu as shown here Dojo WIdgetContainer - JSFiddle  i.e.  group will be  a popupMenuItem and submenu will be widgets

I also need the header widget controller as i want some widget to go into header controller and some into menu controller how can i differentiate between these to in config introducing an type(header or menu) in widget pool is fine?

Hi,

In this case, you might want to try to introduce a new object, let's say, "menuWidgetPool" in your layout config.json file, which is similar to "widgetPool" that contains an array of defined widgets.

And in your custom controller widget, for example, the menu controller widget, read the layout config, and grab the custom "menuWidgetPool" object and generate the UI of the controller.

I linked a demo theme SidebarTheme.zip I created for a tutorial, and it has the menu/sidebar controller, which reads from "widgetPool" to populate the UI. You can modify it to make it read from "menuWidgetPool" object instead.

Hope this helps a little,

I am a newbie in web app builder.I would like to know where should config(grpConfig.txt) be added in CustomTheme folder.
