I want to make reusable Container with a title in the like in the banner example. (So it is like a custom GroupBox). So every element i add to the class should be added to the classes subcontainer, not to itself. See the code below, i marked the position where i just want to write the subelements.
from enaml.widgets.api import *
from enaml.layout.api import *
from enaml.styling import *
enamldef BannerSheet(StyleSheet):
Style:
element = 'Label'
style_class = 'banner'
Setter:
field = 'background'
value = ('lineargradient(x1: 0, y1:0, x2:0, y2:1, '
'stop: 0 #222222, stop: 0.5 #1A1A1A, stop: 1 #111111)')
Setter:
field = 'color'
value = '#FFFFEF'
Setter:
field = 'padding'
value = '5px'
Setter:
field = 'font'
value = '18pt Verdana'
enamldef Banner(Container):
BannerSheet:
pass
padding = 0
alias title : lbl.text
constraints = [lbl.left == left,
lbl.right == right,
con.top == lbl.bottom,
con.bottom<=bottom]
Label: lbl:
name = 'abd'
style_class = 'banner'
Container: con:
pass
enamldef DemoContainer(Container):
padding = 0
Banner: b:
title = 'Bar'
#i want children here to be put into the banner.con container.
#so e.g.
Label:
text = 'This should be below the title label"
Enaml doesn't allow you to delegate the position of a widget in the hierarchy using the declarative syntax (you can do it with Include and procedural code). Your simplest option is to use a child Container on the banner, which holds the widgets. Something like the following:
from enaml.widgets.api import *
enamldef BannerContainer(Container):
alias text: label.text
Label: label:
pass
enamldef Main(Window):
Container:
BannerContainer:
text = 'First Banner'
Container:
padding = 0
Field: pass
Field: pass
Field: pass
BannerContainer:
text = 'Second Banner'
Container:
padding = 0
PushButton: pass
PushButton: pass
PushButton: pass
Alternatively, you can subclass container and reimplement the layout_constraints method to do whatever you want for layout purposes (see the TaskDialog implementation for an example of this), or use templates and a compile-time for-each loop to expand the child widgets (see the advanced template example).
