Angular, get ViewChild / ViewContainerRef from dynamic created Component

Question

is there a way to get the ViewContainerRef from a dynamic created component? My dynamic created component has an ngContent element inside, which i want to fill after the dynamic creation.

export class Example {

  @ViewChild('content', { read: ViewContainerRef }) //normal way
  content: ViewContainerRef;

...

  ngAfterViewInit(){
    let box1=this.content.createComponent(this.boxFactory);
    box1.instance.title="Dynamic (1)";
    // HERE: the box1 has a ng-content area which i want to fill.
  }

}

I think about some manual way to resolve the ViewChild instead of using the decorators. Some Ideas?

Thanks a lot.

I am not sure as well how to add viewchild dynamically. however, if dynamic ViewContainerRef is what you want, you can try using this solution:

in the html file create:

  <div id="test"></div>

in your component create:

 let nodeElement = document.getElementById("test");
      let compFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(ChildComponent);
      let component = compFactory.create(this.viewContainerRef.injector, null, nodeElement);
