RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Crux - ItemRenderer

To make Crux work within popups, simply dispatch the ADD_BEAN event for the content before opening it. For example:

var somePopupContent:SomePopupContent = new SomePopupContent();
dispatchEvent(new BeanEvent(BeanEvent.ADD_BEAN, somePopupContent));

var popup:PopUp = new PopUp();
popup.modal = true;
popup.content = somePopupContent;

addElement(popup);

popup.open = true;

Then, before closing, remove it:

dispatchEvent(new BeanEvent(BeanEvent.REMOVE_BEAN, this));
dispatchEvent(new Event('closePopUp'));

Hope this helps.

Brian

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Crux - ItemRenderer

I can confirm that crux setter injection does not work inside pop up. The work around I have come up with is to do the setter injection in the parent view then pass the variable to my pop.

By setter injection I mean,

 [Inject( source = "acctController.estateSearchList", bind = "true" )]
        public function setEstateSearchList(val:ArrayList):void
        {
             trace(" injected estateSearchList. hurray !! ");

            this.estateSearchList = val;

            trace(" estateSearchList has been set ! ");
        }


However, I have noticed this style of injection works

  [Inject]
        public var configData:ConfigData;


Regards,

Are your renderers in the main app, or are they in a popup? Crux may not work inside a popup, without some tweaking and tuning for JSStageEvents, iirc.

Beyond that I think Crux is not particularly suitable for ItemRenderers. At least I would personally try to avoid using it in this case, unless the renderer count is always relatively low.

One of the key differences between the JS implementation vs. the Flash implementation is when the bean setup is run to support processing the view. This is triggered by 'addedToStage' event, which does not have directly comparable support in the browser.
JSStageEvents bead creates a simulated 'addedToStage' event. But the way that works is asynchronous (delayed) compared to the way it works in flash (which is synchronous) as soon as the renderer is added to the stage. So that is one possible reason for things not working the same, because often the code that is creating the renderers is also explicitly running code in the newly created renderer instance (like setting data and possibly other calls). It might be doing this after it has been 'addedToStage' and there is no chance for the PostConstruct method to run first, because it would be delayed. But if PostConstruct is never running at all then it could be related to use in a Popup.
Another thing to check is to make sure the package filtering on the JSStageEvents is not excluding your renderers from having the simulated events being created.

Hi maria,

From what you shared I think the only difference is the modal property.

I will have to confirm this. I will revert.

RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Crux - ItemRenderer

Posted by Maria Jose Esteve <mj...@iest.com>.
Hi guys,
Maybe we are missing something and, perhaps, it would be "interesting" to investigate a bit more "when we have time to dedicate to it".....
First I want to say that "there was a time" when this was happening to me: crux did not work directly in a PopPup and I had to activate and deactivate it manually, as Brian says, BUT at a certain point "it started to work" and nowadays it still works for me ☹

I briefly describe the components and the calling method:


  *   Component to display in the PopUp (= SomePopupContent, from Brian's example):
     *   <j:SectionContent>



     *   <j:beads> <ContainerDataBinding/> </j:beads>



     *   I define injections as follows:



                                               [Bindable]

                                               [Inject(source="shellModel", required="true")]

                                               public var shellModel:ShellModel;



               … source="shellModel", Corresponds to the localId of the model defined in the BeanProvider, inside App.mxml

                                               <crux:BeanProvider>
                                                               <wp:ShellModel id="shellModel"/>
                                                               <wp:ShellController/>
                                               </crux:BeanProvider>


  *   Example of Call (the view from where the call is made also has injected models)

            private var popupAux:PopUp;
            public function showPopUpForm():void
            {
                    var contentPopup:PermissionsPopUp;
                    contentPopup = new PermissionsPopUp();
                    contentPopup.id = "vContentXX";
                    contentPopup.description = "Level: " + tCodigo.text + " - " + tDescription.text;

                    if(_currentResponsiveSize == ResponsiveSizes.PHONE)
                        contentPopup.percentWidth = 80;
                    else
                        contentPopup.width = 500;
                    contentPopup.percentHeight = 80;
                    contentPopup.readOnly = (primaryModel.currentGrState != UtilConstants.GRSTATE_EDITING);
                    contentPopup.addEventListener("closePopUp", onPopUpClose);

                    if(!popupAux)
                    {
                        popupAux = new PopUp();
                        popupAux.modal = true;
                        popupAux.content = contentPopup;
                        addElement(popupAux);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        popupAux.content = contentPopup;
                    }
                }

                if(!popupAux.open)
                    popupAux.open = true;
            }

Why does it work? I don't know ☹... Roman could you compare this example with your completed code?

Your solution worked. Good to know that I can enable crux work in a pop up.

Thanks for sharing this. I will try your suggestion and revert back to you.

One question I have now is must the modal property be set to true for crux

I think in my use case the modal property is false. I will check and revert
