Disable container content

[xyla]

Hello All,

I'm trying to disable all controls that are placed inside another control/container. In my case this container is sap.ui.commons.layout:VerticalLayout, which has in its "content" aggregation all kinds of different controls. I would like to disable all of them at once.

I tried this:

var oControl = this.getView().byId("GeneralOrderDataTabContent");
  oControl.setEnabled(false);

This had no effect.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi Szilamér,

the sap.ui.commons.layout.VerticalLayout control is deprecated for a long time (since 1.16). It recommends using the sap.ui.layout.VerticalLayout.

However, as both share the same code, it should still work, and for me it does:

Which version of UI5 are you using? The above refers to 1.26.

Hi Andreas,

I'm using the latest UI5 version (1.30). I also replaced the deprecated control with the new one.

I just noticed, that my two buttons are really disabled (like in your example), but none of the other controls (TextField, DatePicker, ComboBox, etc.).

Shouldn't this affect all of them?

Hi,

I think this is a bug .The enabled property of the vertical layout has effect on sap.m controls and sap.ui.commons.Button. It doesn work for other sap.ui.commons controls.

So as a work around you can follow pau marti response or use oly sap.m. controls.

Before the bug is fixed. I believe that we can use busy property as a hack

Hi Szilamér, you can not disable all controls like this, the best way is using a json model and bind enabled property. Regards,

Hm, right... there is a mechanism ("EnabledPropagator") which should make this work, but it's not used in all affected controls. I asked internally what's the matter.

Thanks for noticing.
