B4J Question [BANAno] Designing Custom Views - how to define extra parameter & execute its method?

[Mashiane]

When defining BANano Custom Views one has...

Sub Initialize (CallBack As Object, Name As String, EventName As String)

and

Sub DesignerCreateView (Target As BANanoElement, Props As Map)

I need to pass an extra variable here that will usually be in Class/Process globals that will execute just before the DesignerCreateView code is done?

For Example..
Assuming on my layout there is a control named txtfirstName of Type VueTextField, in class globals it will be

Private txtFirstName as VueTextField, now I have a dependency e.g.
Private home As VueComponent

On my initialize call,

I load the layout..
BANano.LoadLayout(#here, "layoutname")
'now my dependency call is
home.BindState(txtFirstName.VElement)

If I can pass the extra parameter, home to the custom view, then some way I could just call home.BindState(VElement) on the custom view internally. Is this possible?

Thanks

Probably not as the signature of these methods need to be quite specific for the IDE to recognize them as Custom Views.
