Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have a PRViewComponent derived component in which, as part of the render method, I&#39;d like to render another component defined elsewhere in my Pier structure. </div><div>The code I&#39;ve come up with so far is (simplified):</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>renderComponentOn: html</div><div>    | context component renderComponent |</div><div>    context := self context.</div><div>    component := context structure lookupPath: &#39;/system/components/cloud&#39;.</div>
<div>    renderComponent := (context structure: component) command asComponent. </div><div>    html render: renderComponent</div><div><br></div></div><div>Using PRContentsWidget as a template, I guess I also need to return the component in the #children method, which probably also means overriding the #onChangeContext: method to capture the context. I would then refactor the above code to cache the renderComponent in #onChangeContext:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some questions:</div><div>1) Is there a simpler way of rendering another component defined elsewhere?</div><div>2) Do I need to create a new component each time onChangeContext: is called?</div><div><br>
</div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Nick</div><meta charset="utf-8">
