Is there a standard way to get access to interactiveGrid widget's and subwidgets' methods?

Eslam_Elbyaly

I am using Oracle AEPX 20.2. At the top of the left panel here https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/application-express/20.1/aexjs/interactiveGrid.html , there are a number of widgets. I assume all of them are sub widgets to the interactiveGrid widget except for treeview widget, am I right? If right or wrong, is there a standard way that get me access to those widgets' methods? I tried apex.region("regionStaticId).call('methodName'); but it seems to give access only to interactiveGrid widget's methods.

No. The left panel is the index to the entire APEX JavaScript API. All of the "widgets" (how I hate that word) are separate components, unrelated except through their inclusion in APEX.

No. call is a method in the region interface. Not all of the "widgets" are implemented as APEX regions, therefore they will not respond to methods dispatched by a region's JS interface:

Calls a method on the widget associated with the region. This method only applies to regions that are implemented with a jQuery UI style widget.

How should I learn to use those api's? How did you? Is there a book i.e that I could take advantage of? Articles on the internet are just displaying some snippets of code that one's copies and pastes into their apps without actually knowing how it works or how to access other methods!
