Create a component with an attached panel

[kislay]

Hi,

I want to create a component , where on the click of the button in that component , I get a panel ( NOT a modal panel) attached to that component , such that the top,left of the panel coincides with the bottom,left of the component . The panel should appear on top of any other component present , and it should NOT disable other components like a modal window does .

I have attached 2 images to illustrate my requirement .

Please help .

Thanks .

Doesn't have to be a VLayout per se, just an example of what you need to do.

public void onModuleLoad() {  
        
		final VLayout component = new VLayout();
		component.setShowEdges(true);
		component.setBackgroundColor("#CCCCCC");
		component.setVisible(false);
		
       final IButton b = new IButton("click me");
       b.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				component.setLeft(b.getLeft());
				component.setTop(b.getBottom() + 2);
				component.show();
				component.bringToFront();
			}
       });
       
       b.draw();
    }
