Custom Card Container

Hi all,

    I'm using aCustomItem that responds to >>descripcion and to >>icon

    That's for use as arrangement on a card container, so I can have my own
icons and descriptions in the tabs. The problem is when I want to add
another container on the ViewComposer. When I do that the arrangement of the
new presenter is an integer that DNU description, so it can't be added. I've
tried to modify that on the fly (with the debugger) to put there aCustomItem
but then the view was saved corrupted (lukily I saved it by another name :P)

    any clue?

    regards,

I'd probably do one of three things:

a) Change CustomItem to use its description as its #displayString, and then
refer to #displayString instead of #description in whatever code it is that is
giving you problems.

b) Add #description to Number.

c) Use a custom subclass of CardContainer that overrode #onSubViewAdded: to use
a different default arrangement.

That should have worked OK, I think.  I have done similar things often enough.
If you try it again and it still fails then you may have some other problem
that this is exposing.

Dear Chris,

    I've used the B option you mention, but I think the most elegant is C
wich I'll implement in the next "iteration".

    thanks,
