Can Widget be pop'ed out by default?

[aogbaires]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to have a Widget popping out once opened, instead of floating or attached to a StagePanel. On OpenSite+, we have drainage widgets as well as reporting widgets with a more dense content, that we usually have to popout the widget for better visualizing, and the PMs asked if it would be possible to have it as a default action upon opening.

Many thanks,

Artur

You can use https://www.itwinjs.org/reference/appui-react/frontstage/frontstagedef/popoutwidget/ API to popout a widget (i.e. when a toolbar button is clicked). Keep in mind that there are certain restrictions (which might be different depending on your environment - web vs electron).

Usage example in our test-app:

appui/apps/test-providers/src/ui/widgets/LayoutWidget.tsx

Line 275 in 265f8ab

frontstageDef!.popoutWidget(id, { x: xPos, y: yPos });
