TopComponentGroup

[Raffael Maio]

Hi all,

Does anyone already figure out the problem of TopComponentGroup with dynamic component? In fact, in the blog of Greertjan (http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan/entry/creating_a_window_group) he mention that :
The value of the tc-id element must match the value of the PREFERRED_ID String that was generated in your TopComponent, when you finished the Window Component wizard. Have a look, and notice that the two match.

However, our TopComponent PREFERRED_ID is generated dynamically. Is there another way to insert a TopComponent to a group?

Regards,

Raffael

If you really need a *dynamic* group the easiest thing to do would be to some kind of a listener or action and have it open and close a set of components and not try to use the static grouping mechanism. You can have that coding in minutes. Then, you can use what ever mechanism you need to register them whether it be the file system (layer/user directory) or preferences which you can persist.
