Typically Thursday’s and Friday’s are the days I use to work on examples for the blog. In preparation for this weeks work I came across an excellent series of examples outlining the panels functionality of GWT.
Panels in GWT are used to layout content and can contain one or more widgets. There are many of them that provide very different functionality. This tutorial http://examples.roughian.com/index.htm#Panels~Summary goes through each of the panels and gives an overview of each of them.
The guide is due for an update and I believe I am the person for the job. With GWT 2.0 new declarative layout these examples can be converted to this new format. This saves the user from having to define all objects in code, but rather define them in an xml file. It will be an interesting exercise for two reasons. One – I will learnt about all the panels, which is going to be a benefit for my own development. Two – A large new Sample – Numero Eight – will show off these and why they are used.
It would be great to have few examples of styling TabBar or TabPanel rather than simple Panels.
ReplyDeleteIt's really difficult to find valuable examples how to deal with it.
