window define()

hi,

im trying to change window content on the fly, so i tried something like this:

$$("mywin").define("head", { view:"toolbar", type:"MainBar", data:[ { type:"label", label:"Adressen 2" } ] });

in the example im trying to change the “head” parameter from “Adressen” to “Adressen 2” but instead of that i get the old “head” and the new “head” together see screenshot.

Same happens when trying to change the “body” parameter.

Am i doing something wrong?

Btw, i know that i can change the “label” directly but thats not what im trying to do, i need to change all the window content on the fly.

Thank you.

Due to some problems in current version, it is not possible to fully replace header, but you can use

$$("mywintoolbar").clearAll(); $$("mywintoolbar").parse([ { type:"label", label:"Adressen 2" } ]);

Where mywintoolbar - id of toolbar in header.
Above code will reload toolbar with different set of labels|buttons.

thank you Stanislav but i need to replace the body content too, currently i have a dataview on the first row of the window “body” like this:

body:{ type:"clean", rows:[ { view:"dataview", id:"addressdataview", width:790, height:350, align: "center", ..... ....

and when i press a button i need to replace this dataview with another component i.e. a template, will this be possible in next release with the $$(“mywin”).define(“body”, …)?

Yep, it will be possible.
Technically it must be possible in the current version as well, but there is a bug in component.destructor() which doesn’t allow to fully remove old content.
Issue will be fixed in oncoming update.

Hello,

Please check the following sample. It shows how to change views dynamically:

dhtmlxTouch_v12_120913/samples/09_template/03_ajax_ui.html

You can change layout collection dynamically and replace layout row/column with another one. This approach works only for layouts.
