Workspaces
The resulting Workspace consists of a button bar with four default buttons and an empty
content area below it. The content area can house any UIComponent . You add a component
to the content area by calling workspace.dock() on it. If you show the Workspace without a
docked View , it will by default only take up the space needed for the buttons. The window
in Figure 16.1 was resized after it was opened.
Let's pretend we have a CustomerList component that we would like to dock in the
Workspace as the application starts. We do this by overriding the onBeforeShow callback:
class MyApp : App(Workspace::class) {
override fun onBeforeShow(view: UIComponent) {
workspace.dock()
}
}
