Problem with CustomLayout, to get attributes "location"

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hi to everyone,

As in vaadin example, I’ve created an CustomLayout setting the attributes “location” in html pages, then I’ve added the Fields to the CustomLayout with:

addComponent(,“”);

Can I recover those attributes “location” from CustomLayout object?

Thanks.

CustomLayout does not parse the HTML for the layout, so it does not even know all the location attributes in the document.

For the slots where you have already added components, CustomLayout does internally keep track of the used slot names and the components in them. However, there is currently no API to ask for the slot (location) of a component nor the full set of such slots.

If you feel such an API is necessary, you could
