    Answered: Multiple lines with containers


    Hi guys,

    Can anyone experienced give me some clue how to force "line break" while using hbox layout with many elements?

    Here is sample code:

    xtype:'container',
    height:30,
    layout:
    {
    type:'hbox'
    },
    items: [
    { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 1', margin: 2 },
    { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 2', margin: 2 },
    { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 3', margin: 2 },
    { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 4', margin: 2 },
    ]

    Considering 300px window width, one element is not visible. How to make it move to the next line automatically?

    General, I want to add elements dynamically with different widths.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    You could instead use the default layout and float all the children like this:

    Code:
    {
    xtype: 'container',
    title: 'Welcome',
    width: 300,
    defaults: {
        style: {
            float: 'left'
        }
    },
    items: [
        { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 1', margin: 2 },
        { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 2', margin: 2 },
        { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 3', margin: 2 },
        { xtype: 'button', width:100, text: 'Btn 4', margin: 2 }
    ]
}
    This example uses an inline style but you could just as easily assign a css class in the defaults block for the children.
