I'm working on implementing Qooxdoo in existing html pages using the
inline method. The widgets look particularly helpful in this area, as I
need to add smarter form controls to existing application pages without
starting from scratch.
One particularly useful widget in qooxdoo is the ComboBox, where a text
field is combined with a dropdown ListBox. While this will be quite
useful where a simple select list is enough, I have some requirements
that really need the dropdown list to be a table of records rather than
a simple list, so that the displayed list options include multi-column
data records based on the text entered in the textbox portion. I tried
adding table entries to the listbox using the "Rich" display mode, and
it does display a table structure, but it's not working the way I would
want because the value returned from a selection of an entry combines
all of the column values together. Also, the row entries are separated
more than I would like due to the separate <table> values I'm including
in the list value. I think using a table element instead of a listbox
element would make it work better and look better too, since the data is
really dataset-based rather than simple values. (Would you call this a
ComboTable or TableBox?)
I've looked through all of the DemoBrowser and API documentation, and I
don't see something like this, but I think it will prove useful to
others besides myself when working with database-related information.
Has anybody done any custom widget work to create a ComboBox with a
table element instead of a listbox element?
Also, if I decide to make it myself by developing a custom widget on my
own, are there any particularly tricky steps involved that I should
watch out for? I'll be reading the doc section on creating custom
widgets, but I thought maybe someone would have useful insight or an
existing custom widget already developed.
Thanks,
