I'm very grateful that 5.8 allows us to create a Custom Layout, this offers the possiblility of responsive design with corporate identity within seconds!
I do have questions though, is there something like "propertySetters" (as in pui.widget.add) to execute a piece of JavaScript when a layout property value was changed?

Thanks,

Robert

There isn't something like propertySetters -- that is for when you create a widget. In this case, you are using an existing (Layout) widget.

But, it is possible for JavaScript code to run when the template is evaluated. Take a look at the options for "JavaScript expression variables" documented here:

I developed my CustomLayout after reading the documentation for "pui.retrieveCustomLayoutTemplate( name )"
This is really a great new feature, but I got stuck...

"Properties can potentially be bound to host variables" - How? -> my new properties don't have this option
I also found (when I made a mistake in coding) that the property category can be add... - How to do this properly?

In my new Panel layout there are header sections (like a window control box) that execute a script. In this script I'd like to set a host variable for the specific function...

In a CustomLayoutTemplate I do have the following part:

<div class="content"><div repeat="{ property: 'Number of Divs', help: 'Text, text, text...' }" class="tab" container="true">......-X-......</div></div>

At ......-X-...... I'd like to add an array item, i.e. a paragraph to fill the corresponding div.
How can I access that particular item? In other words, is there somthing like an index variable when using "repeat"?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Robert

Sorry, there isn't any way to use an array for this.

Thanks for the quick answer Scott.

I just can't let off... Is there a way to use containers in custom widgets?

If you mean "custom layouts", yes... you should be able to use containers.

If you mean other types of widgets, then no... only a layout can be a container.
