[CLOSED] Stretching Portlets to fix the whole screen (100% screen height and width)

[adrianot]

Hi,

Today I am trying to replicate a behavior that worked fine on the previous Ext.Net library. I mean stretching Portal modules so that they fit the whole space available on the screen.

<ext:Viewport ID="Viewport1" runat="server" Layout="FitLayout">
        <Items>
            <ext:Portal ID="Portal1" runat="server" Layout="HBoxLayout">
                <Items>
                    <ext:PortalColumn ID="PortalColumn1" runat="server" Layout="VBoxLayout" Flex="1">
                        <LayoutConfig>
                            <ext:VBoxLayoutConfig Align="Stretch" />
                        </LayoutConfig>
                        <Items>
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet1" runat="server" Title="Portlet A" Flex="1" />
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet2" runat="server" Title="Portlet B" Flex="2" />
                        </Items>
                    </ext:PortalColumn>
                    <ext:PortalColumn ID="PortalColumn2" runat="server" Layout="VBoxLayout" Flex="2">
                        <LayoutConfig>
                            <ext:VBoxLayoutConfig Align="Stretch" />
                        </LayoutConfig>
                        <Items>
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet3" runat="server" Title="Portlet C" Flex="1" />
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet4" runat="server" Title="Portlet D" Flex="2" />
                        </Items>
                    </ext:PortalColumn>
                </Items>
            </ext:Portal>
        </Items>
    </ext:Viewport>

This behavior was possible a year ago (I found this old post discussing the same issuehttp://forums.ext.net/archive/index.php?t-20002.html), but for some reasons today this works only horizontally.

Is there a way to make it work?

Thank you!

Hi @adrianot,

A Portal uses a ColumnLayout internally and it is not supposed to support any other layouts.

This behavior was possible a year ago (I found this old post discussing the same issuehttp://forums.ext.net/archive/index.php?t-20002.html), but for some reasons today this works only horizontally.

That example doesn't work for me. I tested with the latest Ext.NET v1 sources. Maybe, it worked before with some Ext.NET v1.x version, but, anyway, it was quite a hack.

As for Ext.NET v2. A similar problem was discussed here. Hope this helps.
