Change layout from view

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Dear,

How can i change the layout from the view file, in Yii 1.x the following variable did the trick;

$this->layout = ‘newLayout’;

But in Yii2 this doesn’t work. I know I can set this from the controller action, but i am using static pages that are using the same render action, so i need to do this on view level.

Thanks.
