[Laszlo-user] Trying to create child windows within a main window using dynamix library import

[Toufeeq Hussain]

Hi,

I\'m trying to create child-windows within a Main window. the number
of child windows is not known and that information is obtained via a
remote datastore.

The approach I\'m taking here is that each child-window is present as
a library and trying to dynamically import these libraries based on
the datastore-information obtained.

I tried the example mentioned here :
http://forum.openlaszlo.org/showthread.php?t=9713 but could not get it
to work.

My code is pretty similar to the one mentioned above:

<canvas debug=\"true\">
    <window width=\"400\" height=\"300\">
        <handler name=\"oninit\">
            var lib = new LzLibrary(canvas, {name:\"mylib\", stage:\"defer\"});
            lib.href = \"child.lzx\";
            new LzDelegate( {\"func\":function() {new child_window();
}}, \"func\", lib, \"onload\");
            lib.load();
        </handler>
    </window>
</canvas>

My child.lzx code is as follows:

<library>
    <class name=\"child_window\" extends=\"window\" height=\"30\" width=\"40\">
        <text>BLAH</text>
    </class>
</library>

At this point I\'m expecting to see a child-window in the main window
with a text element in it. But nothing comes up. The main window loads
but there is no child window.

My question(s) is:
Is the above approach correct ?
if not, Is there a better approach ?
What am I missing in the above code ?

I do get a few WARNING\'s but googling* around I found that they are
not a major concern.
