[Seaside] Updating non Smallfaces component.

[Burella Juan M.]

Hi Tim,
 Let me see if I've understood what are you doing. You need to:

-Create (or modify?) a LBCGoogleMap when a ListBox changes
-Render or update the LBCGoogleMap when a Button is clicked.

You said LBCGoogleMap is not a WAComponent, what it is? If it's a
SFObject, then you can add to your SearcherInterface sending as
argument of #addSubpane: message, as already knows how to answer
#name (remember, it must answer #name properly, that is, not the #name
method in Object).

Then you can have:

>>initialize
....
  self addSubpane: self map
...


>>map
 ^LBCGoogleMap new
    name: 'mapDisplay';  " configure the mapDisplay's name"
    setCenter: model coordinates zoom: model zoom;
    addControl: GControl largeMapControl;
    setUIToDefault;
    yourself.

If when the list changes, you have to re-create the mapDisplay, in the
#regionSelectionChanged "callback" (the message sent when the list is
#changed) you should replace it as follows:

 oldMap := self paneNamed: 'mapDisplay'.
 self replacePane: oldMap with: self map

And to refresh properly the mapDisplay it should be rendered inside a
tag with id equals to its styleId, like this:

LBCGoogleMap >>renderContentOn: aRenderer

           aRenderer div
                    id: self styleId;
                with: [ "render your component" ]

and must answer #refreshOn: (please see #when:send:to:refresh: section
in http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6093). You can implement it this way:

refreshOn: aRenderer
      "Support for the events"

      self renderContentOn: aRenderer


You will need to preserve the same #styleId, to do this simply send
the message styleId: 'anyId' to the mapDisplay. Another way to solve
this is adding a SFPanel which contains the mapDisplay and refresh it
when the button is clicked.

Regards
Juan M.
