XPages: Editable Area within a repeat?

Quick question. Is it possible to place an Editable Area within a repeat? I’ve done that and am having some issues.1. the editable area doesn’t show in design mode on the custom control

  1. the editable area does show up on the XPage but you can’t drop another control onto it. You have to include it in the source.

Is this a bug or am I not supposed to include an Editable Area within a repeat?

Here’s a screencast of the issue http://www.screencast.com/t/OTY5NTI1MWEt

Subject: You can have an editable area in a repeat panel

According to your screencast (great way to illustrate your problem by the way) you seem to be going wrong with your custom controls rather than repeat panels and editable areas. When you create an XPage and drop a custom control into it, it’s essentially a block of code that cannot be edited through the XPage as it’s being referenced from a CC. To edit it, you need to go back to the custom control itself.

Here’s what i think you need to do top achieve what you’re after:

  1. Open you ccCalendar control (not the XPage)

  2. Drop your second CC (ccCalData) into the ccCalendar

  3. Create your XPage and then drop only the ccCalendat control in (as this has your second CC already dropped in)

Hope that makes sense
