I used Flex 3 to mock up a UI for this widget, as the designer makes it easy to drag and drop components around. Once the UI mostly worked, I wrote the code in GWT, now knowing which layout boxes I'd have to code. The two versions are pretty much equivalent at this point: they have the same limited functionality, no graphics, each use their respective rich-edit control, calendars, date pickers, combo boxes, horizontal and vertical layout panels, and so on.
Just for the heck of it, I thought I'd post the size comparisons. gwt 1.5RC2 with incubator controls (datepicker, datebox), widget sizes: 128k uncompresed, 40k compressed (zip'd) flex 3, release build widget: Merged swf: 302k RSL: 57k swf app and either a 523k swf library or 526k swz library The gwt widget is smaller compressed than even the RSL (runtime shared library) version. And my widget works on the iPhone :) Now to add features to the gwt version and make it ready for prime time... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
