[Laszlo-user] clone a window

[Elliot Winard]

You should declare the window as a class and then create multiple 
instances of it -


<class name="TyWindowClass" x="50" y="50" 
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}"  ...>

     <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar">

            <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File

                       <menuitem  text="Spawn"/>

                       <menuitem  text="Store"/>

                      . . .

</class>


<TyWindow id="w1"/>

<TyWindow id="other1" />


This isn't "cloning" but may be what you're looking for.

hi,

Is there a way to clone an existing window instance? I  tried a "new 
window(canvas, idofwindowtoclone)" but it resulted in a window with 
just the same title.

Ideally if I have this:



   <window id="w1" x="50" y="50" 
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" 
height="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" title="Log in data" 
resizable="true" closeable="true" layout="axis:x; spacing:20; 
inset:20">



     <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar">

            <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File

                       <menuitem  text="Spawn"/>

                       <menuitem  text="Store"/>

                       <menuitem  text="Remove"/>

                       <menuseparator/>

                       <menuitem id="MWS"  text="Send">

                           <menu  name="subedit">subedit

                               <menuitem  text="Email"/>

                               <menuitem  text="Print"/>

                           </menu>

                       </menuitem>

                   </menu>

                  .........</window>



I would like the same window but with a different  id:



     <window id="clonew1" x="50"  y="50" 
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" 
height="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" title="Log in data" 
resizable="true" closeable="true" layout="axis:x; spacing:20; 
inset:20">



     <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar">

            <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File

                       <menuitem  text="Spawn"/>

                       <menuitem  text="Store"/>

                       <menuitem  text="Remove"/>

                       <menuseparator/>

                       <menuitem id="MWS"  text="Send">

                           <menu  name="subedit">subedit

                               <menuitem  text="Email"/>

                               <menuitem  text="Print"/>

                           </menu>

                       </menuitem>

                   </menu>                  .........</window>
