Support of the forms: SectionPart

Postby reitsma » Tue Mar 22, 2005 2:08 am

Hi,

Is the support for the SectionPart to be expected soon? Form pages tend to grow quite a bit, so splitting up in multiple sections would be helpful.

Kind regards,

Jaap

Possibly. We currently support the Section widget. Can you send us an example of how you would want to use a SectionPart?

Well, of course it is all quite premature, but from the javadoc in Eclipse 3.1M5a I understand that a Sectionpart can be used to build a FormPage from multiple (section) parts, i.e. as separate classes. Instead of one big FormPage, one can use multiple SectionParts. It also means that parts of the form can be reused more easily.

To my understanding it is is currently not possible to design form parts, other then (master-) detail pages.

Regards,

Jaap
