rework methods for modifying user-level child components of Container subclasses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-846
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-846
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Noel Grandin
Assignee: Noel Grandin
Priority: Minor
For most sub-classes of Container, directly adding/removing child components is
not something the user usually wants to do.
This gets especially confusing when users do things like adding a child
component to a ScrollPane.
Also, the skin classes add extra components to the Container, potentially
making it even more confusing.
I plan to move access to a new method on Container#getChildComponentList(),
which will be clearly marked as being of mostly internal interest.
Then I will add convenience methods to the subclasses of Container where it
makes sense to treat the subclass as directly containing user-level child
components, eg. BoxPane, CardPane, FlowPane, StackPane
