Re: Trouble with forceLayout

I found a solution that may point to the problem.  The following works:

               Scheduler.get().scheduleDeferred(new Command() {

                    public void execute () {

                     RootLayoutPanel.get().forceLayout();

                    }

Previously, I was doing the forceLayout (at various levels) after everything was built.  That didn't work, but if I give JavaScript a chance to catch up it does!  Note that it also works if I forceLayout at a lower level rather than the root.

I don't know if this is a hack simply indicating a different problem I have, or if it is a worst-case / works-no-matter-what way to do it.

Hope this is helpful to others.

Greetings,

I think over the last year I have spent a good two to three solid weeks messing with forceLayout().  I just can't seem to get it straight, and then, when I think I do, it only works for some browsers and works differently on others.

The specific problem I have now involves a structure that look like this (from top to bottom):

RootLayoutPanel

DockLayoutPanel

DockLayoutPanel

SplitLayoutPanel

DockLayoutPanel

FramedPanel (Sencha)

VerticalLayoutContainer (Sencha)

Grid (Sencha)

All of this nesting is done on the part of the widget that auto-expands like the center of a DockLayoutPanel.

The problem is that the initial grid doesn't take up all vertical space as it should.  If I resize the browser everything corrects itself and it looks perfect.  I tried putting a forceLayout call at each of the five top levels (separately).  Each failed to correctly setup the initial screen.

The thing mainly not displaying correctly is the grid.  It shows no lines unless I resize the display.

I am pretty lost and don't know what else to try.

Thanks.
