Hi Christian,
With an ObjectRegistry you can use code to iteratively create and
register instances. E.g.; you couldn't do this and maintain global
references to each instance:
for (name in propertySheet) {
var instance = createProperty(name);
}

Hello Dann,
what would be the advantage of the object registry over just using
global variables? If you omit the "var" before the variable
declaration,
you can access your widget from anywhere...
function foo()
{
globalWidget = new QxWindow;
}
function bar()
{
globalWidget.open();
}
