What is the category of the client library in which your custom widget is defined?

Hi Shekhar,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have gone through the link.

I have implemented the same way. My custom multifields works well in classic ui. But does not work in touch ui.

Am using the Custom category. But i have dependency as cq:widgets.

Do i need to have cq:widgets as category????

Will it not work in above case cq:widgets as dependency????

In the TouchUI, the compatiblity iframe into which an ExtJS dialog is rendered has these client library categories loaded (amongst others, but these are the most "popular":

cq.wcm.edit
cq.widgets
cq.security
cq.tagging
cq.cloudserviceconfigs
cq.dam.scene7

This compatibility iframe doesn't know anything about your custom category.

See /libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/compat/components/dialogwrapper/html.jsp for the implementation details.

Justin
