[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-682) Enable slide-in direction specification in the case of Sheet component

["Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-682?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12977777#action_12977777 ] 

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-682:
----------------------------------

I have not looked at this patch yet, but I wonder if this feature might be best implemented as a new window type. Sheets have a pretty specific purpose (at least, they do on Mac OS X, which is what they are based on). They always appear to slide out from the top of their owner window, and they remain attached to the owner as the user drags it around the screen.

To me, this seems more like a "tray" that slides out from one side of the display and may not be attached to any particular window (perhaps they are display-modal). What if we create a new Window subclass called Tray and implement this behavior there?

> Dear All,
> As discussed over the forum, it would be a nice feature to be able to define from which side the Sheet component is sliding in. The discussion can be found:
