Popouts without a placeholder
Hi, I am evaluating FlexLayout as a potential replacement for GoldenLayout in my application. My application makes very extensive use of popouts. I've noticed in the demo that when you popout a tab to a new floating window it leaves behind a 'placeholder' tab with a message "This panel is shown in a floating window" and show window / dock window buttons there. Is it possible to change the behavior so that the tab is completely removed / hidden when you pop it out and the button to return it to the dock is on the window itself?
Along the same lines, is it possible to programatically create a new popout window that is not docked to begin with? It would need to have the ability to be docked from a button in the window, but there should be nothing related to this screen on the main layout when it is not docked there. In my application most data-entry windows are created from a menu button and pop-up in their own floating windows immediately, but the user can optionally click on the dock button in the window to pop them in as a tab in the default workspace.
Thankyou, Troy.
Sorry, it is not possible to change the popout behaviour like that currently.
I am interested in this as a feature as well.
Would like the ability to popout a window without a placeholder (basically removing it from the current ui and reordering just like closing a tab)
Also the ability to save / load a popout window and reinitialize that window on load or open from api (button press).
Is anyone interested in picking this up? I could offer a bounty.
I ended up doing this outside of FlexLayout. I didn't have the time (or skill really) to dig into the FlexLayout code and integrate it properly, but what I did was catch the popout button press event and create my own popup window with the same contents, then delete the tab in FlexLayout. Then on pop-in I just add it back to the layout... Less than ideal perhaps, but it works.
Interesting, thank you. I will try this
