Hi Stefan,

could you please explain what you exactly mean with the layout root. For me is the layout root the highest node in the layout hierarchy. So the layout root would in my case the widget which I can get from the getRoot method from the main application class (qx.application.Standalone).

Thanks,
Chris

Very often it is necessary to get the layout root which directs what is happening within the layout children.

getLayoutParent().getLayoutParent().getLayoutParent().....

can be used to step upwards the layout tree. But if it is 4-6 steps the line will be long. The other solution is to use

getApplicationRoot()

and step upwards, but then it is necessary to know the name of the widget.

Another one is a global variable.


What do you recommend today? Is there an idea of having a getLayoutRoot() function?


As far as we can see there is no broadcast (forward/reverse) or delegation message tech included in qooxdoo, is it?

Stefan
