Question

Is Ti.UI.currentWindow Broken?

I can't get it to work at all.

Also there is no reference to it in the api docs.

function GetLabelRef()
{
return Titanium.UI.currentWIndow.MyLabel;
}

I am using 1.1

Answer 1

This unfortunately doesn't work on Android platform, when trying this:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({url:'bar.js'});

win.fun = function(){ /* do something */ };

while in bar.js:

Ti.UI.currentWindow.fun() // bad things happen on android here

Thx.

Answer 2

what is MyLabel? the only way that will work is if you set a MyLabel property on the window. For example:


var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({url:'bar.js'});

win.myLabel = 'foo';

then in bar.js, you can do:


Ti.UI.currentWindow.myLabel // this will be 'foo'

Answer 3

var TitleLabel = Ti.UI.createLabel({color:'#fff', top:'7px', left:'20px', height:'auto', text:'Some text' ,font:{fontSize:16, fontWeight:'bold'}});

win1.MyLabel = tickerLabel

thats how I am setting it up, I think the issue is I can't reference a control this way.
