Widget Dropdown Container 'dropdownContainer1' cannot contain widgets of type data view #3

It would be nice if you could nest dataviews within your dropdown container in case you want to conditionally show/hide elements based on nested attributes.

Or is this the same limitation as the snippet one?

JelteMX commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately this is a limitation in the platform, not the widget. I hope this changes in the future, but I can't help you with this one at the moment

bartheijs commented 4 years ago

Is this platform limitation still in place? I have a use case where a listview (with the use of its on click action) inside of the Dropdown Container widget would meet our clients needs. Thanks!

Upgrade to at least 8.10 / 8.11 and it should be possible to use that in this widget

bartheijs commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried in 8.11.1 and 8.14.0 and doesn't seem to work. Or it's me not completely understanding the way to implement the widget.

Hi Jelte,

just to manage expectations, do you think you can have a look in the near future?

Am I doing something wrong or is there some work to be done on the widget?

Otherwise I'll use the DropdownDivConverter.

Thanks!

Gr,

Bart

Hi @bartheijs,

It seems Mendix still doesn't support some of the widget types inside a widgets property, as can be read here: https://docs.mendix.com/apidocs-mxsdk/apidocs/property-types-pluggable-widgets#widgets.

So for now you might have to go back to the DropdownDivConverter
