Potential bug TreeGrid + TabPanel

[Pandaman]

I am having a problem with TreeGrids rendering on tabs when the user selects different tabs. In my example, starting with the "Real Time" tab visible, whenever you select the "Single Strat" tab, then the "Real Time" back again, the rows only render properly on mouse over.

If I add the TabPanel to a GWT VerticalPanel instead of a LayoutContainer, I get even weirder results; switching tabs and back and forth results in one of the TreeGrids does not render the fields at all, and the columns don't render properly either.

This all only happens in IE6, by the way.

What am I doing wrong? Is it because I am using setAutoHeight? Shouldn't I be able to use it?



public void onModuleLoad() {
final TabPanel tabPanel = new TabPanel();
tabPanel.setDeferredRender(false);

final TabItem rtTab = new TabItem();
rtTab.setLayout(new RowLayout());
rtTab.setHideMode(HideMode.OFFSETS);

final ContentPanel rtDataTreeGridCP = new ContentPanel();
final TreeGrid<BaseModel> rtDataTreeGrid = buildTestTreeGrid();
rtDataTreeGrid.setEnableColumnResize(false);
rtDataTreeGrid.setAutoHeight(true);
rtDataTreeGridCP.add(rtDataTreeGrid);
rtDataTreeGridCP.setHeaderVisible(false);
rtTab.add(rtDataTreeGridCP);

final ContentPanel rtTotalsTreeGridCP = new ContentPanel();
final TreeGrid<BaseModel> rtTotalsTreeGrid = buildTestTreeGrid();
rtTotalsTreeGrid.setEnableColumnResize(false);
rtTotalsTreeGrid.setHideHeaders(true);
rtTotalsTreeGrid.setAutoHeight(true);
rtTotalsTreeGridCP.add(rtTotalsTreeGrid);
rtTotalsTreeGridCP.setHeaderVisible(false);
rtTab.add(rtTotalsTreeGridCP);

//needed to load grid data into tab content before the corresponding tab is selected.
rtTab.setText("Real Time");
rtTab.setAutoHeight(true);

final TabItem ssTab = new TabItem();
ssTab.setLayout(new RowLayout());
ssTab.setHideMode(HideMode.OFFSETS);

final ContentPanel ssDataTreeGridCP = new ContentPanel();
final TreeGrid<BaseModel> ssDataTreeGrid = buildTestTreeGrid();
ssDataTreeGrid.setEnableColumnResize(false);
ssDataTreeGrid.setAutoHeight(true);
ssDataTreeGridCP.add(ssDataTreeGrid);
ssDataTreeGridCP.setHeaderVisible(false);
ssTab.add(ssDataTreeGridCP);

//needed to load grid data into tab content before the corresponding tab is selected.
ssTab.setText("Single Strat");
ssTab.setAutoHeight(true);

tabPanel.add(rtTab);
tabPanel.add(ssTab);

layoutContainer.add(tabPanel);

populateWithDummyData(rtDataTreeGrid);
populateWithDummyData(rtTotalsTreeGrid);
populateWithDummyData(ssDataTreeGrid);

RootPanel.get().add(layoutContainer)
}

private static TreeGrid<BaseModel> buildTestTreeGrid() {
final List<ColumnConfig> columns = new ArrayList<ColumnConfig>();
final ColumnConfig column = new ColumnConfig("name", "name", 500);
columns.add(column);
column.setRenderer(new WidgetTreeGridCellRenderer<BaseModel>() {
@Override
public Widget getWidget(BaseModel model, String property,
ColumnData config, int rowIndex, int colIndex,
ListStore<BaseModel> store, Grid<BaseModel> grid) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
final String text = model.get(property);
return new Text(text);
}

});
final TreeGrid<BaseModel> treeGrid = new TreeGrid<BaseModel>(new TreeStore<BaseModel>(), new ColumnModel(columns));
treeGrid.setHeight(400);

return treeGrid;
}

private static void populateWithDummyData(final TreeGrid<BaseModel> treeGrid) {
final TreeStore<BaseModel> treeStore = treeGrid.getTreeStore();
treeStore.removeAll();

final List<BaseModel> parents = new ArrayList<BaseModel>();

for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
final BaseModel parent = new BaseModel();
parent.set("name", "parent" + i);

parents.add(parent);
}

treeStore.add(parents, false);

for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
final BaseModel child = new BaseModel();
child.set("name", "child" + i);

treeStore.add(parents.get(i), child, false);
}
}

in some thread the solution was to change the HideMode. but i dont know if it helps in your case.

[Pandaman]

To what hide mode? I changed the hide mode of the tabs to offsets... do I need to do the same for the tree grids?

[Pandaman]

If I remove the setHideMode statements altogether (defaulting the tabitem's hidemodes to HideMode.DISPLAY), then all of the rows after the third one renders blank for the treegrid on the second tab. I guess this is a step closer, but still not acceptable.

With this change, if I also remove the setDeferredRender statement, there are no blanks. But for every tab other than the first, the data shows up twice in TreeGrids

[Pandaman]

any ideas? please advise.

I found post:

http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75647&page=2

...which apparently says that this is a bug that's been fixed in svn but not released. While I understand the reasoning behind giving SVN access to those with licenses, I think this change is too critical to withhold from those without licenses.

I think fixes for this (among other issues) should be published in another release ASAP. Am I the only one who annoyed by Ext-GWT quirkiness/bugginess?

SVN access is not bound to any license.

How do I get SVN access?

[TheBuzzer]

http://extjs.com/store/gxt/#support-table

pay them 299 per year I guess.

And if you want a licence it would be 329 more.


So people with licence does not get svn access still, only if you have support subscription you get it

ah. i guess i meant you have to pay for it.

[Pandaman]

Does anyone know long it is estimated to take for Ext-GWT to make another release?

[Pandaman]

also sven, if the fix for this in svn is trivial, could you please tell me what the fix was so I can override the behavior right now? I really need this fix... soon....
