[rwfphp-developers] MultiContainer

[Berend D. <cyb...@sp...>]

Hi,

I finally got back to my projects and I think I know what is going 
wrong... I tried to build a control that contains multiple other 
controls but only displays one at a time. This way I can design a skin 
with only one variable in the Smarty template that switches controls 
depending on what the user is doing. (Perhaps this can be done in 
another way but I thought the easiest way was to simply switch between 
controls).

Anyhow, this is the code which fucks it up (the controls inside this 
container don't get their proper name - like we allready found out).

<?php
    require_once(RWF_DIR.'rwf/Web/UI/WebControls/WebControl.class.php');
   
    class MultiContainer extends WebControl {
        var $controls;
        var $select;
       
        function MultiContainer() {
            WebControl::WebControl();
           
            $this->controls = array();           
            $this->select = 0;
        }
       
        function addControl(/* Control */ $control) {
            $this->controls[count($this->controls)] = &$control;
        }
       
        function setVisible(/* number */ $n) {
            if (!is_numeric($n)) return $this->setVisibleByName($n);
           
            if ($n >= 0 && $n <= count($this->controls) - 1) {
                $this->select = $n;   
            }
        }
       
        function setVisibleByName($name) {
            for ($i = 0; $i < count($this->controls); $i++) {
                if ($this->controls[$i]->Name == $name) return 
$this->setVisible($i);   
            }
        }
       
        function GetTemplate($smarty) {
            if (count($this->controls) == 0) return "[Empty container]";
           
            return $this->controls[$this->select]->getTemplate($smarty);   
        }
       
        /*function ConstructName() {
            if (count($this->controls) != 0) return  
$this->controls[$this->select]->ConstructName();   
        }*/
           
    }

?>

Hope we can sort this out.
