Collapse panel to the side

[cpoutre]

I'm new to SmartGWT and have probably just overlooked this, but is there a way to make a stack section or panel collapse to the side (e.g., "<" button) instead of to the bottom? Thanks in advance.

So I'll assume that this is not currently possible. Any chance it'll be added in the near future?

You can use setShowResizeBar on any layout and simulate the the left /right collapse fairly easily. Granted it is not as cool as the SectionStack, but you can get by easily with this.

Check out http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#layout_border

Click on the resizebar next to the TreeGrid..

Good luck

Strawman -

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's the closes thing I've seen. Ideally, I'd like to see comparable to ExtJS/GWT's BorderLayout (http://www.sencha.com/examples/#borderlayout) wherein the east and west panels are collapsible to the sides. However, in the near term, I think your solution is a good one.

BTW, the example you mentioned auto-collapses the section when the border is double-clicked, which is great. However, it won't re-expand after that. Do you have any idea if that's a glitch?

Thanks again,
