Getting referenced BXML files of main file into the class
In the tutorial for UI Markup using Stock Tracker App [1] [2], there's this
bit of code.
<Border styles="{padding:6, color:10}">
<bxml:include bxml:id="detailPane" src="detail_pane.bxml"/>
</Border>
Suppose I wish to manipulate styles of the entire app, and so I traverse
through all the components starting from the main BXML file. When I reach
the right side of Split Pane I encounter a ref to another BXML file i.e
detail pane. How can I get the components of that detail pane into my
class? I've tried using (Border) component.getContent() but all I get is
the name of the file, not the component.

Hi,
on the problem of "Applying a style to all elements of a control" I
just get this old thread:
http://apache-pivot-users.399431.n3.nabble.com/Applying-a-style-to-all-elements-of-a-control-td2713309.html
could be useful to your initial case, but sorry probably not on your
last email (Roger can help there)
In attach I put (inside the zip) my eclipse launch file to run that
sample in a simple way with all arguments setup.
Bye,
Sandro

I don't see anything in the BXMLSerializer code that would seem to be a
problem. The content should be set by the included source. I'm
wondering if there is a problem because of the namespace of your
included file.... Does it make any difference if you make the "infoTab"
into a regular component (maybe SplitPane, I'm guessing?) rather than
using your custom component?

Okay, I fixed the earlier problem somewhat by making all names inline,
but now I've encountered a new one. It would be nice if someone could
help me with it.
I have defined a border and its children as:
<TablePane.Row height="1*">
<TabPane bxml:id="tabPane">
<tabs>
<Border>
<content>
<bxml:include bxml:id="infoTab" src="InfoTab.bxml"
inline="true" />
</content>
</Border>
//many other tabs and rows
</TabPane>
</TablePane.Row>
In the InfoTab.bxml I have.
<luke:InfoTab xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk" xmlns:luke="org.apache.lucene.luke.ui" >
<top>
<Border>
<content>
<ScrollPane
horizontalScrollBarPolicy="fill_to_capacity">
//many other components
</ScrollPane>
</content>
</Border>
</top>
<bottom>
<Border>
<content>
<TablePane
bxml:id="bottomTable">
//many other components
</TablePane>
</content>
</Border>
</bottom>
</luke:InfoTab>
In my main Java file I have a method to recursively change style of all
components.
private void recChangeStyle(Component component) {
if (component instanceof Border) {
//apply style to border
System.out.println("style applied to Border");
component = ((Border) component).getContent();
recChangeStyle(component);
}
else if //deal with other components
}
So when reaching the InfoTab aka the border shown above I can't access
the content of the border, all I get is a null on checking the content
of border. Can anyone help me out here?

It's not through the Javascript from inside. It's through the code from
Java itself. Here's what I'm trying to do.
protected void changeStyle() {
Component component = Window.getActiveWindow();
if (component instanceof Window) {
//apply style
System.out.println("style applied");
}
component = Window.getActiveWindow().getContent();
System.out.println(component);
recChangeStyle(component);
}
private void recChangeStyle(Component component) {
if (component instanceof Border) {
//apply style to border
System.out.println("style applied to Border");
component = ((Border) component).getContent();
recChangeStyle(component, theme);
else if (component.toString().startsWith("org.ajay.stocktrackerapp")) {
if (component.toString().endsWith("detailPane))
component = (Border) new BXMLSerializer().getNamespace().get(
"detailPane");
recChangeStyle(component, theme);
} else {
//applied style to other component
}
}

I think that's pretty much what I'm trying to do. I have StockTrackerapp
detailPane as org.ajay.stocktracker.detailPane.bxml.
Hopefully this has made what I'm trying to do more clear.

Hi Ajay,
I assume you are doing this in Javascript from inside the bxml file
itself?! You should be able to read the included file from there, but I
can't tell you right now how you would do that. If I was doing this, I
would wait and do the whole thing in Java after the whole hierarchy is
loaded, but before displaying anything. So, my feeling is that even if
you could get the included file loaded that it still wouldn't work right
because you would be catching the included file before it was loaded,
and so your styles would end up getting overridden when it did get loaded.
Anyone else have a comment??
Thanks,
~Roger
