B4J Question Property _loadlayout is writeonly

[Alexander Stolte]

Hello, i have a problem, i want to set a "LoadLayout" property for my new view.
I have this code:

'set the layout for designer
Public Sub setLoadLayout(layout As LayoutValues)
   
    mypnl.LoadLayout(layout.toString)
   
End Sub

The IDE Log says:

Property: _loadlayout is writeonly.

How can i solve this, so the user can call myview.loadlayout("")
and then he have the selection of the forms?

ahh, this may not be a property, it must be a function

This is a write only property, because of the 'set' prefix.

Public Sub setLoadLayout(LayoutName As String)
    mypnl.LoadLayout(LayoutName)
End Sub

This is a method:

Public Sub LoadLayout(LayoutName As String)
    mypnl.LoadLayout(LayoutName)
End Sub

In this example, both do the same, but to me it's more logical to use a method.

Why do you want to use LayoutValues?
mypnl.LoadLayout expects the layout name as a string.
