same HTMLFlow in multiple sections?

[sanlemo]

Hi,

Can you please tell me, what is wrong with this code. When i try to expand "Second" section, why it is showing third? And if i click last section it is giving an error - "Visibility" is null or not an Object

isc.HTMLFlow.create({
    ID: "htmlFlow",
    overflow: "auto",
    padding:10,
    contents: "<b>Severity 1</b> - Critical problem<br>System is unavailable in production or " +
              "is corrupting data, and the error severely impacts the user's operations." +
              "<br><br><b>Severity 2</b> - Major problem<br>An important function of the system " +
              "is not available in production, and the user's operations are restricted." +
              "<br><br><b>Severity 3</b> - Minor problem<br>Inability to use a function of the " +
              "system occurs, but it does not seriously affect the user's operations."
})


isc.SectionStack.create({
       ID:"leftSide",
       width:280,height:400,
       backgroundColor:"white",
       showResizeBar:true,
       visibilityMode:"mutex",
       animateSections:true,
       sections:[
        {title:"First", items:[htmlFlow]},   
        {title:"Second",  items:[htmlFlow]},
        {title:"Third",   items:[htmlFlow]},
        {title:"Fourth",   items:[htmlFlow]},
        {title:"Fifth", items:[htmlFlow]},
        {title:"Sixth", items:[htmlFlow]}
       ]
      });

Thank you

You can't use the same HTMLFlow instance multiple times in the same SectionStack. Also true of TabSet, Layout, Window and other containers.

To show the same content in multiple places, create multiple HTMLFlow instances with the same content.

Hi,

Actually i am calling same TreeGrid from all sections but its dataURL changes for each section. I can not create multiple TreeGrids, because context menus and somany other forms are using values from that TreeGrid.

Can you please suggest how i should handle this situation.

Thank you,
S

If the same TreeGrid appears in every section why not display it outside of the SectionStack?

The way you are doing it now might look a bit odd. Since you have set animateSections:true, presumably during the animation the same TreeGrid will need to appear in two different places on the screen at the same time?

May be i not expaning right. The TreeGrid object is same. But folder structure (content) of the tree are completely diffrent. What i am doing is when user expands one section, i am changing the dataSourceURL for the tree so that each tree will have different folder structure.

My requirement is : I have to show 5 sections, and each section should show different folder structure. Its like file explorer, every section will have different n number of folders in it.

If you think, i can achive this in different approach, please suggest me.

Regardless of what will change about the TreeGrid when it is shown in a different section, if you have animation on, you will briefly, during the animation, need to see the TreeGrid in two places at once, in two states at once, which doesn't make sense.

You need to either:
1. create separate TreeGrid instances per section. If you have deeply configured the TreeGrid, you can create a subclass for it so you can reuse that configuration.

2. get the TreeGrid out of the SectionStack, so it doesn't need to appear in multiple sections.
