set FlowLayout margins

**doud** · 20 Jul 2008 2:22 PM

hi,

I tried to set a margin between all the 3 FormPanels in
GWT 1.5
GXT 1.0.1
hosted and browser mode

with this code :

Code:

public class Test extends LayoutContainer implements EntryPoint {

    /**
     * This is the entry point method.
     */
    public void onModuleLoad() {

        // layout
        FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout(20);
        setLayout(layout);
                        
        ContentPanel form1 = new FormPanel();
        form1.setHeading("form1");

        ContentPanel form2 = new FormPanel();
        form2.setHeading("form2");

        ContentPanel form3 = new FormPanel();
        form3.setHeading("form3");

        TextField field1 = new TextField();
        field1.setFieldLabel("field");
        TextField field2 = new TextField();
        field2.setFieldLabel("field");
        TextField field3 = new TextField();
        field3.setFieldLabel("field");

        form1.add(field1);
        form1.setCollapsible(true);
        form1.setAnimCollapse(false);
        form2.add(field2);
        form2.setCollapsible(true);
        form2.setAnimCollapse(false);
        form3.add(field3);
        form3.setCollapsible(true);
        form3.setAnimCollapse(false);
        
        add(form1);
        add(form2);
        add(form3);
        
        RootPanel.get().add(this);
    }
}

I also tried

Code:

layout.setMargin(20);

and

Code:

add(form1, new FlowData(20);

with no more luck.

all my FormPanel are stick together with no spacing

I tried, nothing changed

ps: I'm on linux

This...

Code:

		        add(form1,new MarginData(10));
		        add(form2,new MarginData(20));
		        add(form3,new MarginData(30));

produced this on WinXP ie6 and FF3

ps - I also removed the 20 out of new FlowLayout(20) - not that this impacted the render

produced this on Ubuntu 8.04 Hosted mode and FF3

I tested against
GWT 1.5
GXT 1.0
on Win 2003

hosted mode : work
ie6 : work
firefox 3 : don't work ...

same thing with GXT 1.0.1

Mmm, it seems that we still have some differences between browsers/OS. Darell, wouldn't it be helpful to declare the HTML 4 doctype instead of HTML 3 ? Look at http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38334

Thank zaccret and gslender for your help.
wrong doctype... I apologize
I think I will write my own applicationCreator for gxt.

**zaccret** · 22 Jul 2008 4:44 AM

That's not a bad idea.

Actually, it would be nice if Darell could integrate it in gxt bundle.

Did you write your applicationCreator, doud ?
