Simple question: is it possible to stack one WKInterfaceLabel on top of another inside a WKInterfaceGroup? I’m dragging like a mad man and I cannot get the blue target line to setting above or below the first label. It’ll sit beside it, to its left or right, but it won’t settle above or below it.
I’m trying to do something inside a table row akin to a master/detail, but I simply can’t figure out if it’s possible.
You can set the layout of the WKInterfaceGroup as Vertical and that will make your labels be one on top of the other.
This happens because WKInterfaceGroup doesn't work like a view, it has a layout flow that automatically arranges the inner WKInterface's as specified by the Layout property that can be horizontal or vertical. You can also tweak the appearance with custom insets.

I am trying to create a specific solution for weeks now and I have tried many things but I am just not sure if it is possible at all to achieve. I need your opinions and point me in direction o a correct approach. Following what I am trying to create:
Initially there is a tile layout in which a certain number of cards (say 12) are placed in 4x3 grid:
Now, if user clicks on a tile (Box 3), the state changes to following:
Selected tile is expanded and other tiles get aligned one below another on the right side:
Challenge is that I want to create a transition from every tile's initial state to the state where every tile is aligned one below another on the right. At the same time, when a tile is clicked it is expanded in place.
Note - there are no sudden change in positions, no reload of page and preferably no JS (I wanted to write a CSS-only solution). Everything smoothly animates to new position. From the second screen if a different tile is selected (from right), then the expanded item will shrink and go in to the right hand stack while the selected item will expand and take place of the currently expanded (B3).
If you could just point me to correct direction it would be great help.
thanks.
You should check css flexbox.
Using the "order" proprety, you could asign order of every box from 2 to 8,
and each time a box is selected, you change it's order to 1 and you also change its size and colour.
However, I don't think you can use 'click' actions with css only.
I would recommend using JS for what you are trying to achieve.
Hope it helps
I'm making an app that needs the following background. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to position the three buttons inside the circle.
Use LinearLayout(vertical), put all the buttons there and use the View subclass called Space, above, inbetween and below the buttons. Then adjust layout:weight until you get the desired proportion. Don't forget to set height to 0 for layout:weight to take effect.
I'm creating a context menu for certain elements using a PopupPanel; the menu itself is going to be fairly large and complex. What I'm looking to do is to have a list of buttons, plus an image and some text, related to the element clicked.
My problem is that I'd like the buttons to always display directly under the clicked element, because that's convenient for the user; the issue is that when PopupPanel is near the edges of the screen, it automatically changes position to be fully visible, not aligning its left side to the element as usual. I like this behavior, but it moves the position of the buttons away.
So what I'd like to happen is: normally the buttons are on the left of the panel, the other stuff is to the right. When the panel is close to the right of the screen, I'd like the buttons to instead be on the right (and thus under the clicked element) and the other stuff on the left.
Is there a clever way to do this, either in GWT or better yet, using only CSS? PopupPanel itself doesn't seem to tell you when it's going to get flipped, sadly. The only solution I currently have is to manually check the position and width of the popup before showing it and adjust accordingly, but I'm hoping there's a better solution.
Here is what I suggest (based on my own implementation of a similar use case):
Have the position callback implementation accept references (in constructor) on:
PopupPanel element
element on which user right cliked
the content you put in the PopupPanel
Replicate (I know this not DRY but implementation is package private) the code from default position callback
When opening to the right invoke a method that changes the layout of your content (CSS based or otherwise)
I hope it helps. If you find something better let me know.
I have an mx:Tree, but when the vertical scroll bar appears, it overlaps the content of the tree (odd that the horizontal bar does not). That might be acceptable for the text, but the stripe that I create using the item renderer, for certain items, seems to make it an anathema to the QA guys. How can I keep this from happening?
I have an idea for a workaround: I could make use the item renderer to stop the drawing a little bit short of the right side of the view (not that I can reliably get the width of a scroll bar) but I can't even figure out how wide the displayable part of a tree is--all the properties of a tree seem to be about its entire width, which includes the entire area coverable using the horizontal scroll bar. However, the blue stripe signifying a selected item doesn't seem to have that problem--it stops short of the scroll bar. In any case, when trying to find the displayable region, I don't know if I could handle the added complication of when the horizontal scroll bar is moved. Much better if someone could tell me how to put the veritcal bar outside the displayable tree area (or shrink the displayable area, of course). Thanks.
I'm using the Flex 3.5 SDK
I was able to find the solution when researching horizontal scrollbar issue on list and tree component. The blog to which it links eventually shows a kind of hacky solution (in the readers' comments) that shows how to make sure that none of the drawing is done beyond a certain boundary.
I am trying to build a sort of button bar in Flex - something like the horizontally laid-out bookmark bar you'd see in most modern web browsers, where when you run out of horizontal space, you can click on the arrows button(>>) to get a drop-down to see the rest of the items which did not fit into the horizontal space. Problem is, how can I know how much horizontal space is available for me to tell how many buttons to render into the button bar? This need doesn't appear to be support by the general layout manager framework.
You can check the width of the parent container, and if that is less than the combined widths of your objects that you've attached with AddChild or AddElement, then you don't have enough space and need use your arrow functionality.
