Re: Build drag and drop interface?
thanks for the replies, its more like a drag and drop form builder, where items can be snapped into positions... i suppose similar to ExtJS Designer but one that our software can manage internally... basically our spec is that our clients have various fields in their databases. they want to design their own forms with these fields. our software must then be able to convert their designs into html to display in coldfusion pages and either populate their forms with existing data, or allow them to add new records... hence this is much the same as fields are built up in access. was hoping there would be some way in ExtJS or similar thanks Hi, We use CF as our server side technology and ExtJS as the client technology. Our clients want the ability to create their own 'forms' via drag and drop within our software (much like forms are created in MS Access) does anyone know of any means to achieve this? thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347213 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Build drag and drop interface?
This is easy peasy with jquery, so I assume it's just as easy with ExtJS. Just have a div that holds all the possible form fields and a div to hold the ones they want in a new form. Drag from one to the other and on save loop over the div with the desired fields and get the name and type. In the words of Houdini... ta-da.

Re: Build drag and drop interface?
please forgive my ignorance and I just joined in this thread but maybe you could try an extended version of what I built, it's just a very basic trial and error page to test out something but I think the 'skeleton' of what you might be looking for. Here: http://www.allconnected.co.uk/logical_campaigns.cfm Just simply drag the Telesales on the left. See what you think. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347215 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
