Constrain Window to Container

[sjzaluk]

I am not able to constrain a window to a container. I know this was brought up in the past with GXT 1.x (http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63487) but I believe this was going to be a part of 2.X but I could be mistaken. I thought Window.setConstrain(true) would do it but that's not working.

Thanks,
Steve

Any info on this? This functionality is critical to making my application meet requirements. I will implement a work around if need be but I believe this should be part of 2.0.

Thanks,
Steve

@gxt devlopers, any updates on that? Can we expect this functionality in 2.0?

try this


@Override
protected void onRender(Element el, int pos) {
super.onRender(el, pos);

// confine dragging to container element bounds
getDraggable().setContainer( (Component) getParent() );
}

Thanks. I did implement a solution but it's not perfect. I am having issues when a user repositions a separator when using BorderLayout so I am still working out some kinks. I think something like this should be part of the framework. By the way, what is Window.setContrain() used for if not to constrain that window to a Viewport?

Thanks,
Steve

that's used if you're creating a dashboard style application so that the Window will stay inside the dashboard interface
