I listen to "changeSelected" on a Tabview to keep track of who is in front. Works well except on app start-up, where it appears the initial "changeSelected" gets kicked off before the selected page's structure has been finalized.
The logging/working listener code is this: tabView.addListener("changeSelected", function (e) { pg = tabView.getSelected(); console.log("app tabview changesel PAGE " + pg ); console.log("app tabview pg childs " + pg.getChildren()); mod = pg.getChildren()[0]; console.log("app tabview changesel PAGE child" + mod); console.log("app tabview changesel frontns now: "+ mod.ns); frontNS=mod.ns; // the real code }) The annotated output follows: app tabview changesel PAGE qx.ui.tabview.Page[1t] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd app tabview pg childs qx.ui.form.RadioButton[1w],nuvia.Itemset.Browser[25] [Apparently the tab button itself at this point is a child.] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd app tabview changesel PAGE childqx.ui.form.RadioButton[1w] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd app tabview changesel frontns now: undefined [The field I want is from the first widget I added to a page, but child zero is coming back as the radio button/tab, IIUC.] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd root teoqx.ui.root.Application[o] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd Logges in kenzo http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd adding qx.ui.tabview.Page[1se] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd got projs pmax,powermax 21,asphips,ASP titanium hips on true http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd dispatching: undefinedItemStylePanels http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd dispatching: undefinedItemStylePanels http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd app tabview changesel PAGE qx.ui.tabview.Page[wk] http://localhost:9090/nuviaqxd app tabview pg childs nuvia.Itemset.Browser[wv] [Now I am actually changing tabs, and from here on the radio button will not come back as a child of the page, including the first page which originally had a radiobutton in the children as well.] My guess is that the restructuring qx does behind the scenes is being done /after/ the changeselected message goes out. If so, it seems to me the reverse order makes more sense: finish initializing X before telling the world about X. hth, kenny ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list qooxdoo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
