[Users] add a "sliding msg box" to the mappanel

[Matt Priour]

do you have a global variable named 'mappanel'? If not then you would actually need to find the map panel
for example:
assuming you have some access to the viewport or overall layout container component, we will call it 'layout' here
var mappanel = layout.findByType('gx_mappanel')

if you set an 'id' property in the mappanel config (ex:'map_panel') then you can easily get back to it by
var mappanel = Ext.getCmp('map_panel')

then the below code will work

Pierre, 
This gives an error "mappanel is not defined" 
msgCt = Ext.DomHelper.insertFirst(mappanel.body, {id:'msg-div'}, true); 

In Firebug I don't see a DOM element related to the mappanel. 
Here is how I create the mapPanel, it might help...to help me ;-) 
... 
{ 
 region: 'center', 
 layout: 'fit', 
 frame: false, 
border: true, 
margins: '5 5 5 5', 
items: 
[{ 
xtype: 'gx_mappanel', 
map: map, 
tbar: toolbar, 
border: false, 
center: new OpenLayers.LonLat(point.x, point.y), 
zoom: myzoom2 
}] 
} 

toolbar is an array of GeoExt.Action

What I would do is change the example.js code in 26 like the following :

msgCt.alignTo(theElementToAlignTo, 't-t');

In the menu example, I got it working by replacing theElementToAlignTo by "toolbar".
In your case, replace it by mappanel.body and you should be done.

And what about using a StatusBar ? It probably has the same results and is less intrusive.

Regards,
Pierre

Hello, 

I use the xtype: 'gx_mappanel' in an Ext viewport. 

I would like to use the "sliding message box" from this extJS sample. You can see this box When you click on the "Toggle Me" button. 
http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/menu/menus.html 

But in this example the message box appears in the document body, which is behind the mappanel. I would like this message box to appear on the mappanel below the toolbar. 
How can I accomplish that please? 

thanks 
Steve
