I’m trying to get a layout to look like this :
hbox with vbox right panel
(source: yfrog.com)

I’ve had all sorts of fun trying to get this working. I finally got something that almost works, but only because I dropped in the 3.2 beta of Ext JS.

I’m left with one final problem. The code below will display the panels almost correctly, however, the right hand panel doesn’t stretch to fill the right hand half of the container.

If I add a layout config (shown in the code commented out) and remove the layout attribute, then I end up with all three panels arranged vertically, rather than the two hbox panels being stretched to fill the space and the vbox panels being above one another.

I’d really appreciate someone passing an eye over the code below and pointing out what I’m missing or if I’ve encountered a bug in ExtJS 3.2b.

Thanks

Stephen

    So, after a lead from Jay Garcia I’ve fixed this in moments.

    I needed to set my viewport to be of layout type “fit”

    vp = new Ext.Viewport({
    layout : 'fit',
    items : [overviewPanel] ,
    renderTo : Ext.getBody()
});

    then I needed to add the layout attribute into the vbox and the hbox (previously I found that the layout attribute with the layoutConfig type attribute screwed things up, so removed them)

                var extraPanel = {
                title : 'extra panel',
                layout : 'vbox',
                layoutConfig : {
                    type : 'vbox',
                    align : 'stretch',
                    pack : 'start'
                },
                defaults : {
                    flex : 1,
                    frame : true
                },
                items : [workflowPanel,accessPanel]
            };

            var overviewPanel = {
                layout : 'hbox',
                layoutConfig : {
                    type :'hbox',
                    align : 'stretch',
                    pack : 'start'
                },
                defaults :{
                    frame : true,
                    flex : 1
                },
                items : [detailPanel,extraPanel]
            };

    Those 2 changes gave me a beautiful layout, exactly the way I wanted it to display.

    Thanks Jay (PS. go buy Jay’s book “ExtJS in Action” 😉 )
