Calling addDockabke to soon hides the dockable

[cmadsen_dk]

Hello

I'm having an issue with calling readXML and then addDockable (upon startup before the JLayeredPane is visible) that cause the newly added dockable to become invisible.

If I introduce a small delay and then call addDockable the docakable appears as expected.

Is there some way of getting notified when the desktop is ready, i.e., the initial layout/rendering is done?

Hi Carsten,

some questions first :

- Are these two steps done in sequence (from the same thread) or from differerent threads ?

- If it's from the same thread, is it the Swing EDT or another one ?

Hi Lilian

Thanks for helping.

It all happens on the EDT via invokeLater but before the DockingDesktop/JLayeredPane has become visible.

If I delay the addDockable with a sleep in a SwingWorker it seems to work.

Hi,

Unfortunately there's no VLDocking way to be notified when desktop is ready, and there's a workaround (SplitResizer) that uses invokeLater to position splitpanes at the right place which makes it rather difficult to implement, but I can understand the need.

Did you try with the Workspace object ? it allows you to define a layout before displaying it (and enables layout switching) and also supports the readXML() approach.

Ok, If I scan the XML for the id that I want to add and I discover that it is not present is there an easy way to "inject" the dockkey in to the XML or do I have to manipulate the raw XML?

[Lilian Chamontin]

you should be able to do so with through the WSDesktop API (addDockable / split / ...)

Hope it helps (my memories on this specific topic are a bit fuzzy^^)
