make layoutunit close or open

[klungie]

Hi there,

Is there a way to command layoutUnit open or close based on some other event.
For example I want to instruct a layoutUnit to be closed, when user clicks on a commandButton.
Is it anyway possible ?

Thanks a bunch.

LayoutUnit has a property "closed" to which you can bind a backing bean boolean property.

You can then switch the boolean state on the commandButton click.

You can use the client side api for this;

Layout has a simple getManager API you can access with widgetVar.

Code: Select all

<p:layout widgetVar="layout">
...

Then with javascript;

Code: Select all

layout.getManager().toggle('paneId');
