Moving Controls Between Panels
With the concept of a
QLabel or
QPanel being able to have an arbitrary
number of child controls, we use this example to show how you can dynamically
change a control's parent, to essentially "move" a control from one panel to the next.
The example below has two
QPanel controls, as well as ten
QTextBox controls
who's parents are one of the panels. The buttons have
QAjaxActions which will
move the textboxes back and forth between the panels, or remove the textbox altogether.
Again, note that we are not hard coding a
QTextBox->Render anywhere in our code. We
are simply using the concept of
ParentControls and using the two
QBlockControl controls'
AutoRenderChildren functionality to dynamically render the textboxes in the
appropriate places.
Finally, notice that while we are doing this using AJAX-based actions, you can just as easily use
Server-based actions as well.
