Android Question How can read all same controls from activity, panel, B4xPages from parent ?

[dws]

I have created a control (Class Module - Custom View (XUI) with Name MyComboBox ).
Its placement in Activity or Panel or B4XPages is done normally with both the designer and the code.

How can I (within the control) read all the same controls I have placed in the same Activity or Panel or B4XPages.

I try to put this code inside to my control in Sub Show to close all popups from the same controls before open to focused control.

For Each v AS B4XView In CallBack
    If v Is MyComboBox Then
        Dim mc As MyComboBox = v
        v.Hide
    End If
Next

Where CallBack is then container than put then controls ( Panel, Activity, B4XPage )

Any Help

Your code cannot work. See this:
[B4X] How to get <custom view here> from <CLV or any other container>

If you follow the convention of using the tag as explained in that tutorial then you will be able to get the custom view.

Thanks EREL.

I tried the example of the code you give me before posting my first question. Unfortunately I get error that it does not recognize view.View ...

I will ask my question in a different way.
It is possible through the code of a control to read the data located in the same activity or panel.

Example.
The control is a Combobox. When selected for pop-up development, we want to check if there are other ComboBoxes mounted on the same panel or Activity to automatically close any pop-ups of other comboboxes.

Have you left these three lines in your code:

    mBase = Base
    Tag = mBase.Tag
    mBase.Tag = Me

If so then you can get your custom view with:

For Each v AS B4XView In CallBack
    If v.Tag Is MyComboBox Then
        Dim mc As MyComboBox = v.Tag
        v.Hide
    End If
Next

Thanks Erel.

Yes i have this lines in my code. Also i have put your sample code to get custom views but i have this error

For Each v As B4XView In CallBack
src\mycombobox\views\mycombobox.java:576: error: incompatible types: B4XViewWrapper cannot be converted to IterableList
final anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.IterableList group6 = _callback;

i try to use somethink like this

' Check CallBack Type
If CallBack Is B4XView Then

    ' Create a object type from CallBack
    Dim vParent As B4XView = CallBack

    ' Try to find other Controls
    For Each v As B4XView In vParent
        If v.Tag Is MyComboBox Then
            Dim mc As MyComboBox = v.Tag
            mc.Hide
        End if
    Next

else
    ' Other type ...
End if

v.Hide cant use because the (Hide) sub is custom and must be mc.Hide

Thanks

Hi,
You have missed a key method on line 8

your code should read:

' Check CallBack Type
If CallBack Is B4XView Then

    ' Create a object type from CallBack
    Dim vParent As B4XView = CallBack

    ' Try to find other Controls
    For Each v As B4XView In vParent.GetAllViewsRecursive
        If v.Tag Is MyComboBox Then
            Dim mc As MyComboBox = v.Tag
            mc.Hide
        End if
    Next

else
    ' Other type ...

The ".GetAllViewsRecursive" will generate the IterableList that the For Each command is expecting

The view (vCallback) is not a panel or activity.
