Defining buddies for labels

[Oliver Friedrich]

Hi Serge,

is there a way that a widget becomes the buddy of a label?
So the widget would get the focus if the label gets clicked.

Perhaps it could be definied like the following example if there exists
nothing for it in Qxt:

> <qx:label content="{js}this.tr('Title')" qxt:row="0" qxt:column="1">
> <qx:textField value="TestTitle" qxt:row="1" qxt:column="1"/>
> </qx:label>


Expected result would be like something like this:
> var qxLabel2 = new qx.ui.basic.Label(this.tr('Title'));
> qxLabel2.setContent(this.tr('Title'));
> qxGroupBox1.add(qxLabel2, {
> row: 0,
> column: 1
> });
> var qxTextField2 = new qx.ui.form.TextField("TestTitle");
> qxTextField2.setValue("TestTitle");
> qxGroupBox1.add(qxTextField2, {
> row: 1,
> column: 1
> });
> qxLabel2.setBuddy(qxTextField2);



Cheers,
Oliver

Hi,

This should work this way:

<qx:textField id="myTextField" value="TestTitle" qxt:row="1"
qxt:column="1"/>

<qx:label content="{js}this.tr('Title')" qxt:row="0" qxt:column="1"

buddy="{js}myTextField"/>

Let me know if you have problems with this snippet.

Thanks,
Serge

Hi Serge,

this does the trick. But it looks a little bit unnatural to define first
a textfield and than the associated label.

Would it be a big task to define a nested structure like in my example?
Or would this conflict with something else?

Cheers,
Oliver

True, there is a a problem with the order of variable definition here. Even qxt:scope="this" doesn't help because the buddy property needs a initialized object ... One can go with 

<qx:label id="myLabel" content="{js}this.tr('Title')" qxt:row="0" qxt:column="1" />

<qx:textField id="myTextField" value="TestTitle" qxt:row="1" qxt:column="1"/>

<qxt:script> myLabel.setBuddy(myTextField)</qxt:script>

But of course this is not very pretty. We would need to write a separate template for that.. Can you live with this workaround for the moment, though`?

There is a conceptual issue I think... Defining text field in label
looks odd to me since in almost all cases parent is a container and
child is a element which is added to container. So, if translate your
example keeping in mind my logic, it will look like you're trying to
add text field to label which is obviously incorrect.

What do you think? Christian?

Yes, I also think this should be solved differently. maybe an attribute in the tag that is defined later -  usually the input widget - so something like <qx:textField isBuddyFor="myLabel" ...> which would simply generate myLabel.setBuddy(myTextfield)..

Hi Christian,
at the moment i can live with the workaround provided by Serge.

Your sinplet has the right order of elements but as you have mentioned,
it's not very pretty. "buddy" is a property of label and should be
handled directly by the label tag.

Cheers,
Oliver
