Claudio,

I'm certainly no expert in either farcry or coldfusion. As evidenced by
my many posts asking for help.  However, it sound to me like you just
need to extend the dmHTML type.  There are a great set of instructions
on how to extend core components available at:  
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/index.cfm?objectid=2B8CC3BC-D0B7-4CD6-F95252

There is also a walkthrough on how to create custom types if simply
extend an existing won't work for you:

I know how you feel! I came very close several time to giving up on the
system as well.  I spent days trying to follow all of the includes and
paths and all the stuff you just talked about.  Bottom line is learn how
to use the system as it is first then modify it how you need to.  As you
build, things will start to make more sense and as you read posts to the
group on a variety of subjects it will all start to fit together.  As
someone that need to know the ins and outs of everything before I feel I
can function I know where your coming from but there are some great
really intelligent people that put this system together and it works
well.  Just jump in get your feet wet.  I have successfully extend core
components and created custom types now and it really does get easier.  

Don't know if anyone has pointed you to the COAPI (I still don't fully
understand how to use it but it has been helpful to me) and I'm sure to
a programmer such as yourself it may be incredibly beneficial.

Good Luck!

Hang in their cuz it really is worth it!

doing in this app.
