Extension Library Application Layout - Panels are not visible

  • Category: Extension Library
  • Platform: Windows
  • Release: 8.5.3
  • Role: Developer

I have been working with the Extension Library Application Layout Control and watched this video:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0AImpgxTE4&feature=player_embedded
 
I have created an XPage with the layout custom control on it -- the page looks great.
 
When I add a panel to the body of the XPage (drag and drop to the green ball in the middle panel on the layout), it will not appear on the XPage.
 
I have tried the ?rc at the end of the URL, I have closed and re-opened the browser, etc. --- the panel and text will not show up in the page.
 
Here is the source:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core" xmlns:xc="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/custom">

    <xc:layoutControl>
        <xp:panel>
            Here is my text...</xp:panel>
            </xc:layoutControl>
</xp:view>
 
What did I miss -- in the video the user drops a panel and adds text to it and it appears correctly.
 
Appreciate any help on this...

Re: Extension Library Application Layout - Panels are not visible
That video is a little old.  I humbly suggest you might be interested in my NotesIn9 vidoes.  Between myself and contributes we've done a bunch of App Layout control on NotesIn9 / XPages.TV lately. 
 
Suggest you check these out.

To just get the panel going show's 46 and 49 might give you the quickest and simplest demo. 
 
Good luck!

Re: Extension Library Application Layout - Panels are not visible
?rc = Reset Cache, is my understanding...
 
I went through 42 and 46 -- I see how the facet is added on the custom control, however, my XPage does not look like the one in the video --- when I add my custom control to the XPage, the "facet" does not show up.
 
If I add the facet, based on copying code from the 42 Demo database, it seems to work, however, the actual design element (such as a tabbed table) does not appear inside Designer -- the green ball appears.
 
I have built a new database, followed the demo in 42, and it whatever is in the facet appears when previewing on the web, however, it does not appear inside Designer...  I can see the source, but not the design...
 
Have no idea how to fix this...
 
I am using the latest version of the Extension Library...
 
Any other help would be great...

Re: Extension Library Application Layout - Panels are not visible
I closed my Notes client, removed the cache.ndk and other junk...
 
Restarted my client, created a new database, created a new custom control and it works now...
 
Go figure...
 
Thanks!
