Hi all.

I would like to know if it is possible to add any type of component in the actionPanel? Because i would like to add a combobox as an action to a dockable.

Thanks very much in advance!

And if it possible, can you please send me a sample on how to add a customized component?

Thanks again

And old example upgraded to use a ComboBox:

import java.awt.Color;

import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

	}

		// access the action-view-factories

		// put a factory for our custom button
		actions.putClient( CUSTOM_TYPE, ViewTarget.TITLE, new CustomViewGenerator() );
		
		frame.add( control.getContentArea(), BorderLayout.CENTER );

		CGrid grid = new CGrid( control );
		grid.add( 0, 0, 1, 1, createDockable( "Red", Color.RED ) );

		grid.add( 1, 2, 1, 1, createDockable( "Yellow", Color.YELLOW ) );
		control.getContentArea().deploy( grid );
		
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
		frame.setBounds( 20, 20, 400, 400 );
		frame.setVisible( true );
	}

	public static SingleCDockable createDockable( String title, Color color ){
		JPanel panel = new JPanel();
		panel.setOpaque( true );
		panel.setBackground( color );
		DefaultSingleCDockable dockable = new DefaultSingleCDockable( title, title, panel );
		
		dockable.setDefaultLocation(ExtendedMode.MINIMIZED, CLocation.base().minimalEast());
		dockable.setDefaultLocation(ExtendedMode.EXTERNALIZED, CLocation.external( 0, 0, 300, 300 ));
		
		dockable.addAction( new CCustomAction() );
		
		return dockable;
	}

And how can you do this with the current version 1.1.1? Unfortunately this example doesn’t work anymore.

Thank you!

Ok, I got it. The example “TitleWithTextFieldExample” was a good starting point to adapt the old example to the new wrapper CommonDockAction().
Thank you!
