New theme variables to define the combobox toggle icon
DropDown refactoring and improvement
The DropDown component is used in many widgets (DateEdit, DateTimeEdit, ComboBox, Completer, TopMenu, StartMenu, ContextMenu, Menu style popup). It has been reviewed and improved to harmonize its usage. Changes are mostly code refactoring, UX improvement, and key management feature. When a dropdown is opened, an invisible layer is added over the screen. A click anywhere else on the screen will only close the dropdown and remove that invisible layer. During dropdown display, you are not able to execute other operations but those contained in the dropdown. For example, you can't switch between windows if a dropdown is displayed. You need to close it first.
Previously a grayed overlay was displayed with dateedit calendar that forced the user to close the calendar using OK/Cancel buttons. This is not the case anymore.
DropDown attributes change
| Attribute | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
alignToLeft
|
deleted | attribute deleted |
renderFunction
|
added | new attribute which is null by default. Can be used to define a custom dropdown rendering function instead of default one |
Deleted DropDown files
| File | Comment |
|---|---|
| DropDownContainerWidget.js | class previously used to measure and position dropdown. Code has been reviewed and moved in DropDownWidget.js |
| DropDownContainerWidget.scss | css file previously used to position dropdown parent div container. Code has been reviewed and moved to DropDownWidget.scss |
| DropDownService.js | class previously used to handle multiples dropdown handlers and bound listeners. This process has been simplified and is managed in DropDownWidget.js |
Any previous customization done inside of one of these three files need to be
updated. For example, if you previously customized dropdown rendering and
positioning algorithm in DropDownContainerWidget.js, it
needs to be moved to dropdown's new attribute
renderingFunction.
