Hi there,
In previous app’s I use a lot of display groups (using display.newGroup) and I can easily iterate over the children to identify individual elements using the following function.
function WTF.findWidgetById(view,id) -- Walk the view looking for an element with a matching ID! print("FWBID View ", view , "has "..view.numChildren.." children, looking for "..id) local w for i=1,view.numChildren do w = view[i] print("Child "..i.." is ",w,w.id) if id == w.id then return w end end print("ERROR - widget "..id.." not found in view") return nil end
In the latest version I’m replacing some display groups with widget.newScrollView() items instead. According to the doc’s the scrollView widget extends a display group, but when I try using the above function to iterate over the inserted objects in my scroll view - I can’t find them, all I get is a list of three children regardless of how many items I added.
Is there a “hidden” field inside the scroll view that will allow me to iterate over the display objects / widgets inserted into a scroll view (note : I tried the :getView() method and it didn’t seem to work).
This is on the latest stable build.
Thanks in advance.
