View lifecycle

[adepue]

Has any more thought been given to view lifecycle? My basic need is to do some processing whenever a particular view is "closed" or switched away from (whether by closing the application, or the user selecting another view from a menu, etc).

Thanks,
Andy

Andy,

Yes - this is a high priority. We will extend the view lifecycle to track open, activation, deactivation, and close events. We will also extend the view management capabilities to cache open view panes; right now a view is re-created on each activation which needs to change.

Thanks,
Keith

I'm contemplating checking out the latest spring-rich and updating my current app-in-development to be in synch with the latest and greatest. Is view lifecycle available yet? If so, that would make this a nobrainer...

Thanks,
Andy
