Hi Pat,
I think you've got me confused here. I'm not actually trying to extend Form,
I'm trying to make a component that needs to be embedded within a form.
The problem is that BaseComponent extends AbstractComponent, and adds the
facility to parse html templates. AbstractFormComponent extends
AbstractComponent, and adds the facility for a component to be embedded
within a form (ie. sets form and name properties). But there is no
BaseFormComponent extending AbstractFormComponent and adding the facility to
parse html templates.
So if I want to create a complex component that needs to be embedded within a
form, I either have to write all the html out manually from within
renderComponent (in AbstractFormComponent), OR add the html parsing
capabilities manually, OR add the FormComponent implementation to
BaseComponent. I have actually done the latter, but it seems to beg the
question why the framework doesn't more easily support form components with
html templates.
regards,
Scott
