Description debbrown1026 2004-06-21 15:45:01 UTC

TopComponentGroup has no way to be notified when 
a top component is hidden or shown by using 
TopComponent APIs.
 

So if I open a topComponent group, all 
associated top components open. Now if I hide 
one of the top components programmatically, the 
group will not be notified and next time I try 
to open the top component group, my top 
component (which was hidden) is no longer 
visible.

hardly a defect, raher an API enhancement.
the UI spec defines the window group behaviour examply as it's
happening now.

Comment 3 David Simonek 2005-05-09 11:01:49 UTC

I'm sorry, but we don't plan to implement such enhanced API, groups serve just
for simpler purposes that don't involve programmatic closing of TopComponents.
You'll have to manage groups yourself in this enhanced use case, sorry.
