All,
I'm trying to do a prototype of something akin to a full-screen application in GXT 3.0 (yes, I realize it's early to do this, but it's more a proof of concept thing), but I'm running into a little unexpected behavior.
I have a Viewport (ok, the temporary workaround version CustomViewport as described in http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?151548-Viewport-bug), and it is attached to the RootPanel.
Within this Viewport I have a TopBottomComponent. For the TopBottomComponent:
1) The top widget is a MenuBar
2) The bottom widget is a FlowLayoutContainer
3) The widget is a ContentPanel
Each of the menu items will, when clicked, open a new Window.
When I minimize the Window, I call hide() on it, then create a TextButton and add it to the FlowLayoutContainer I mentioned in #2 above.
In a way, the FlowLayoutContainer is acting somewhat like the MS Windows taskbar.
Initially, when there are no TextButtons in the FlowLayoutContainer, the latter has a height of 0. That's just fine.
However, when I minimize some windows, thus adding TextButtons to the FlowLayoutContainer, it does not resize to allow the TextButtons to be visible UNLESS I resize the browser window. This happens in Firefox 5 as well as IE 8. I have not tried with any other browsers.
If I continue to add more until a second row of TextButtons is created, again, the height doesn't resize until I adjust the browser window size.
Conversely, if I restore the Windows by clicking on the TextButton (and thus removing them from the FlowLayoutContainer), when fewer rows (or none) are needed, the FlowLayoutContainer's height will not shrink unless I resize the browser window.
It almost seems as if some sort of refresh or update is not occurring until I change the browser window size.
Is this a bug? Or is there some method I should be calling on that FlowLayoutContainer every time I add or remove a TextButton?
Thanks in advance.
