Setting default height for ViewContainerPart

[hx8563]

Feature Description:

Is there a way to specify an initial height for every ViewContainerPart in ViewContainer instead of having all parts with same height?

@hx8563 thank you for the issue, please post questions on discussions in the future.
Are you looking to create a new ViewContainerPart or are you attempting to update existing containers?

Does this help?

theia/packages/core/src/browser/view-container.ts

Line 630 in 0a691e2

readonly weight?: number;

We use it for the Debug view, for instance:

theia/packages/debug/src/browser/view/debug-session-widget.ts

Lines 91 to 95 in 0a691e2

	this.viewContainer.addWidget(this.threads, { weight: 30 });
	this.viewContainer.addWidget(this.stackFrames, { weight: 20 });
	this.viewContainer.addWidget(this.variables, { weight: 10 });
	this.viewContainer.addWidget(this.watch, { weight: 10 });
	this.viewContainer.addWidget(this.breakpoints, { weight: 10 });

I will try, thanks!

@kittaakos I have tried to set the weight in addWidget, but it seems like each sub-view in ViewContainer is remain with the same height, and the sub-view in debugger is also displayed with equal height(like the screenshot above), do I need some addition configuration?

No, it seems to be a bug in the view containers. Can you please file a bug report? Then the issue will get slightly better visibility in the community, and hopefully someone will fix it. Thank you!
