This article describes how QxTransformer generates application.

Auto generated class:

qx.Class.define("feedback.Application",

{

      extend : qx.application.Standalone,

      members : { 

        main: function() {

  //1 - call base class constructor

            this.base(arguments);

// 2 - call function which constructs application UI

            this.__qxtCreateUI();

// 3 - call post create UI function if defined

        },

//create UI function

        __qxtCreateUI : function() {

   },

//event listeners

});

Auto generated application life cycle

1) Calls base class constructor.

2) Calls function which constructs all UI. It contains all code generated by qxtransformer.

3) Calls post create UI function. Sometimes you need to do some operations when your UI  has been built. In this case you can use post create function. You need to define initFunctionName (name will be changed in future) attribute name in your qx:application tag.

<qx:application

    xmlns:qx="http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/0.8"

    xmlns:qxt="http://www.qxtransformer.org/extension/0.4"

    xmlns:fb="feedback.*"

    className="feedback.Application"

    extend=”feedback.ApplicationInit”

    initFunctionName=”__qxtPostCreateUI”

    >

...

</qx:application> 

After that you should define __qxtPostCreateUI function in feedback.ApplicationInit base class. Main function of feedback.Application will look as

      main: function() {

  //1 - call base class constructor

            this.base(arguments);

// 2 - call function which constructs application UI

            this.__qxtCreateUI();

// 3 - call post create UI function if defined

this.__qxtPostCreateUI();

        }
