UnsupportedOperationException - embedding WebContainer into a web container - grid for a game

Xojo 2020r2.1 on Windows 10 for Web App

I get an UnsupportedOperationException error and the error message of “Each WebContainer instance may only be embedded once.”

Here is the screen grab of the code:

Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks!

I have a single instance of cc manually placed in the top left corner of the WebContainerControl so to avoid the screwed-up placement that WebContainerControls get when they get embedded via code. That’s why the first block of code checking if I am on the first row.

gg1 is already on the page and you’re trying to embed it again?

I am trying to embed dd1. Maybe that is where I screwed up.

Pass the right parameter!

not gg1, but maybe dd1

What is me?

Perhaps you want w1.gg1.embedwithin(self…
?

YUP. I messed up, it should indeed be dd1.EmbedWithin…

Thanks, my Ritalin apparently is NOT curing my COVID fog completely.

FWIW, the message on the exception should tell you what was wrong.

Of course the error does explain, but sometimes a person’s brain skips over some things.

It would be neat if the error was contextual, as in “The WebContainer gg1 may only be embedded once.” But I can understand it would be a LOT more code to have errors be contextual.
