I want to display three or more DataGrids in my LayoutPanel and specify their width as a percentage of the total width of the LayoutPanel, but in the LayoutPanel methods i see only methods for setting the width of the left and right widgets. setWidgetLeftWidth()
and setWidgetRightWidth()
.
Is it possible to add more than 2 widgets to a LayoutPanel like
layoutPanel.add(dataGrid1);
layoutPanel.add(dataGrid2);
layoutPanel.add(dataGrid3);
layoutPanel.add(dataGrid4);
and then set the width of each widget to be 25% of the width of the LayoutPanel?
Thanks and regards Mukul
Well I think you could do it with LayoutPanel too, but using the DockLayoutPanel is much easier! Here is the code for a the example you tried with a LayoutPanel.
public void onModuleLoad() {
//define a DockLayoutPanel with a Percentage size definition
DockLayoutPanel dockLayoutPanel = new DockLayoutPanel(Unit.PCT);
//add four widgets to the DockLayoutPanel, each with a Percentage
//with of 25%
dockLayoutPanel.addWest(new Label("widget 1"), 25);
dockLayoutPanel.addWest(new Label("widget 2"), 25);
dockLayoutPanel.addWest(new Label("widget 3"), 25);
//the last widget must always be added with the .add method
//since it takes the rest of the screen
dockLayoutPanel.add(new Label("widget 4"));
//set a with to the DockLayoutPanel (elso you don't se much)
dockLayoutPanel.setWidth("500px");
dockLayoutPanel.setHeight("500px");
//add it to the RootPanel
RootPanel.get().add(dockLayoutPanel);
}
So as long as you don't have a good reason why you must use LayoutPanel, I'd use the DocklayoutPanel!
