| Web 2.0 Look and Feel Type Apps |
|
|
Hi,
I'm new to Visual WebGUI and I'm really interested in the using this architecture for a new web application we are building. However, I'm not so interested in building a web application that looks like a WinForms/Outlook application.
Are there best practices for building more Web2.0 type look and feel applications in this framework? I'm thinking things like styled buttons with rounded corners, rolling blog text, dynamic pop-ups when hovering over certain items, etc...
Any help and guidance would be appreciated. |

Hello,
Welcome to Visual WebGui!
We have already created a very nice MS Outlook-like sample application we call the "webmail". You can access it's code using SVN with the following URI:
"http://72.55.165.182/svn/Public/Applications/Gizmox.WebGUI.WebMail/trunk"
To learn how to use SVN to retrieve VWG code click here.
If you want to customize how specific VWG controls look, you can use VWG CustomControls. To learn how, click here.
If you want to attach client-side (JS) actions to HTML elements logically connected to VWG controls in the current state, you can use the VWG Client Client invocation. To learn how, click here.
A more radical way to customize the way a VWG application looks is to implement a VWG Theme similar to the VWG Vista theme but with your custom styles and images.
Have fun!

Ori, thanks!
I'll take a look at the samples you sent. I think I've seen these, but I was hoping there would already be a bigger library of these themes. |

Hi Ori
I was cheking client-side actions, and i have some questions:
1. How can i create custom controls and add functions in the java script page to the control??
2. I saw in the article eyal used a fuction called "Controls_focus" to invoke script, i know these functions are not defined in javascript, where could i find this list of funtions and their javascript equivalent.
thanks, |

Hello Mr. Amaya!
Regarding your first question:
You can add JS functions to a VWG application in one of the following ways:
Add a VWG Custom-Control. This control's implementation will have among other files a *.JS file, to which you will be able to add your JS functions. Remember that these functions will be available throughout the application and not only to the control you created. This is the better way to do it.
You second option would be to retrieve our sources from the download section of our website here, open the Gizmox.WebGui.Forms project. In it, open the "Commons" directory and there edit one of the general JS files, such as "Common.js", by adding your new JS functions. Afterwards you would need to complie this project and replace the DLL you generated with the one you got for the SDK installation. This way, you don't need to add a Custom-Control. This way though it would be more tricky to upgrade to new VWG versions.
Regarding your second question:
To see what JS functions we have in our framework, you can download our sources from the download section of our website here, open the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms project and search for the string "function" in all the *.js files in the project.
