Interface ICompositeViewChild

One slot inside a composite view (see ICompositeViewDefinition). A child references the view to place in the slot via its ViewDefinition — which may be a menu definition (hosted by id) or an ICompositeViewDefinition (built inline, enabling arbitrary nesting). Size declares how much space the child occupies along its parent container's main axis, and ViewAlignment declares where the hosted view sits within the slot it is given.

Syntax

public interface ICompositeViewChild

Properties

Size

The main-axis size of this child, expressed in CSS-style units.

Declaration

LayoutSize Size { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
LayoutSize

ViewAlignment

Where the hosted view is anchored within the slot the layout gives it. A standalone view aligns itself on the canvas via its own alignment, but hosting invalidates that; this per-child value is applied instead so each child can be placed independently inside its cell.

Declaration

UiAnchorType ViewAlignment { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
UiAnchorType

ViewDefinition

The definition of the view to place in this slot. An ICompositeViewDefinition is built inline as a nested composite; any other view definition (e.g. a menu) is resolved to its already-built instance by Id. A child is identified within its composite by this definition's Id.

Declaration

IViewDefinition ViewDefinition { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IViewDefinition
