Custom Breadcrumb Component
Hello,
I want to implement a simple breadcrumb component that takes a HierarchicalContainer and provides the possibility to set a certain value selected, listen to clicks on the crumbs, etc.
From my point of view this could be a simple HorizontalLayout containing several Buttons (styled accordingly).
Now usually you would use CustomComponent to create your own Component, but then I would need to implement all the stuff regarding the container (setting the source, implementing the listeners, the caption generation) etc.
I have seen that AbstractSelect has exactly the base that would be needed.
The only Problem is, I would need to override paintContent() to paint the breadcrumbs. Is there a way I can construct the crumbs using serverside components and pass the result to the PaintTarget?
Or what would be the way to go here?
Thank you!
