How to get titles in collapsed panels for ‘border’ layout.

March 15th, 2008 Jay Garcia

In response to this thread at the Ext forums, I initially created a simple override (Click here to see it action) to the Ext Border Layout. The solution was a quick one hour deal with no magic or gloss. There was some posts soon there after that requested more functionality for this override. These requests include:

  • images for the east/west regions (for CBC)
  • ability to re-use the original title
  • the freedom to insert what ever element object or HTML fragment the end developer desired
  • change from override to extension.

So, I’ve rolled up all of these requests into one Ext.ux.TDGi.BorderLayout class. This solution provides all of the freedom flexibility that was requested.
