vegUI.org home of the javascript based window manager and AJAX framework

What lies ahead

written by vegu on 29 May, 2007 02:50:01
Hey,

I am in the midst of planning and starting a couple other online projects, but rest assured that ill dedicate a lot of time to the vegUI project in the next month.

For one i will release the source of the demo, as i've had a couple inquiries about that. However i dont want to do so without some documentation to back it up, so once i've written an article or two that explains what's going on i will put the download up.

Secondly, on a related note, i've been finishing up the next vegUI addon, which is the vegUIClient. It is an extension for the vegUI manager that brings all the tools to you to build a true web application including server<->client communication. As a fact the demo was built upon that addon, but i wanted to optimize it some more before releasing it. Along with that addon i plan on releasing a series of tutorials that will take a deeper gaze into developing true web application with vegUI, including a look on the server side of things (php).

Thirdly, i will finally start to add code examples to the API documentation, as that has been due :)

And lastly, i've been thinking about ways to get some fresh content on this site more regularly, im not too hot about writing generic coding tutorials, no idea why, i wonder if this site would even make for a good content site, maybe some AJAX and web 2.0 related news. I dunno.

Anyways thanks for reading, feel free to comment with feedback on what else you would like to see for vegUI in the future. Any input is appreciated.

my specific requirement is ... i want to make parent child window using ajax
....

parent window may look like ... some thing like...

--------------
| parent win |
--------------
| link_1 |
| link_2 |
| link_3 |
| link_4 |
--------------


where link_1 , link_2 .. link_4 etc are some links , or regions ... the important point is
whenever user clicks on the the link / region .... another child window should pop up ....

Ah, i see, the windows that would open up when clicking the links would not be children of the window that holds the links, but rather be windows that are on the same level as the window (children of the manager) but remain closed until they are opened by clicking on the link.

I assume that you have read the window and button widget tutorials, if not i strongly recommend you do else the next few thing wont make much sense :)

You would define those windows as any other window and call it's close() method after it is built, for example, assuming that link1 is supposed to open a window called Win1

Manager.build_element(Win1)
Win1.close();

Then on the element that is link1 (could be a button element for example) you simply make sure clicking it opens Win1. If link1 is a button you would do - assuming the window holding the links is called "MainWindow" and the element representing the button is called "Link1" and a child of the MainWindow.Ui element.

MainWindow.Ui.Link1.States[VUI_MOUSE_UP].Scripts.add(
function() { Win1.show(); }
);
