Cascades Development

Hi, I am just trying to get a idea how to use NavigationPane in my app.

I am trying to follow this example: https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/reference/bb__cascades__navigationpane.html
This is how my class looks like where i want to add a NavigationPane:

 
import bb.cascades 1.0

NavigationPane {
    id: navigationPane

Page {
    
    // Root Container    
    Container {
        
       ...
            
      
            
              
           CustomButton {
                  text: "Click me"
                  btnBackground: "asset:///btn-lightblue.png"
                  btnSelected: "asset:///btn-green.png"
                  bottomPadding: 12.0
                  topPadding: 12.0  
                  
                 // This is where I want the second Page to show up
                 onTouch: {
                       var page = pageDefinition.createObject();
                       navigationPane.push(page);
                     
                 }
                 
                  attachedObjects: ComponentDefinition { // where should this go?
                                               id: pageDefinition;
                                               source: "SecondDialog.qml"
                  }
                  
             
          }
          
         
    ...

    } // Container
    
} // Page
    
    onPopTransitionEnded: { page.destroy(); }

} // Navigation Pane

 But when the user clicks the "Click me" button the SecondDialog.qml does not show up... Can someone notice what am I doing wrong .... ??? Thank you.

Why are you using onTouch, instead of onTriggered in your custom button?

[gdev001]

hm... I don't know onTrigerred. My custom button is actually a Container... I will give it a try with onTrigerred too .. but anyway, the onTouch gets called when I click the button, because I tested it with changing the title of the button when onTouch gets called, and the title was successfully changed ...

OK, it's solved, the problem was in the second page I was adding to the navigation pane, I was missing a " import bb.cascades 1.0" -- there

Ah, if it is a container, then you can indeed use the onTouch method. As far as I know, buttons always work with "onTriggered".

Glad to hear it is solved :-)
