Hi! im needing to add an adittional layer to any control to implement a infiniteprogress while a query is running.
my aproach was to create a container where the original control is added and there add the second layer, but i dont nowif exist a clearest way to do it where its not neccary to encapsulate the component into another.
my code aproach is:
public class Layer {
public static Container addLayer(Component con) { Container layer = new Container(); layer.getAllStyles().setBgColor(0xff0000); layer.getAllStyles().setBgTransparency(100);
//result.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); con.remove(); Container result = LayeredLayout.encloseIn(con, layer); return result ;
} }
thans.

Hi, there are lots of ways but I'm not sure I can comment on "best" as each has its uses. Are you adding an infinite progress to the entire form?

Why not just use InfiniteProgress with the code you have above instead of the layer container?

im doing that but the problem its that the function returns a container and not the original object type. can be possible to add the getLayeredPane functionality to the controls who derives from Container?
think in that way, can be possible to add infiniteprogress to containers or labels individually
thanks t

The container now wraps the components so you need to do:
