Method "PropertyValue" returns a null value in Component Contenair, does not allow to make fitted.

Hi,

I have a list of containers where each element assigned a value in the "setPropertyValue" method as shown in my code:

    private void adicionArticulo(Container cnArticulo, Articulo aRt) {

        TextArea txNombre = new TextArea();

        txNombre.setText(aRt.getNombre());

        txNombre.setEditable(false);

        Container cnElemento = new Container(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

        cnElemento.addComponent(txNombre);

        cnElemento.setPropertyValue("busqueda", aRt.getNombre() + aRt.getSerial());

        cnArticulo.addComponent(cnElemento);

        cnArticulo.animateLayout(200);

    }

The problem is when trying to filter the items in the container list because the method "getPropertyValue" comes in null

        Container cnArticulos = new Container();

        cnArticulos.setScrollableY(true);

        devuelveArticulos(cnArticulos);

        txBusqueda.addDataChangeListener((int type, int index) -> {

            String t = txBusqueda.getText();

            if (t.length() < 1) {

                for (Component cmp : cnArticulos) {

                    cmp.setHidden(false);

                    cmp.setVisible(true);

                }

            } else {

                t = t.toLowerCase();

                for (Component cmp : cnArticulos) {

                    boolean show = false;

                    String val = null;

                    if (cmp instanceof Container) {

                        val = (String) cmp.getPropertyValue("busqueda");

                    }

                    show = val != null && val.toLowerCase().indexOf(t) > -1;

                    cmp.setHidden(!show);

                    cmp.setVisible(show);

                }

            }

            cnArticulos.animateLayout(250);

        });

    // Método que devuelve la lista de artículos que existen en Liber

    private void devuelveArticulos(Container cnArticulo) {

        Vector vArticulo = dT.getArticulos();

        for (int i = 0; i < vArticulo.size(); i++) {

            Articulo aRt = (Articulo) vArticulo.elementAt(i);

            adicionArticulo(cnArticulo, aRt);

        }

    }

Hi,
that's not how it works. That method was created for the old GUI builder since we don't have support for reflection.

I'm assuming that what you are really looking for is put/getClientProperty().

Thanks.
