Hello Dietrich, This great idea to describe dependencies between widgets as xml. It allows avoid a lot of primitive event listeners without any important code. We'll think through this idea (may be this will be not only dependencies but anything else) and QxTransformer will support this feature.

Hi bishio, Thank for moral support :) We've already discussed usage of existing visual GUI builders for our purposes. I think your scheme with double transformation can be used but of course in not all cases. The fact third-party builder will generate xml for specific framework with specific stru

In my current project I have used a bunch of xsl scripts which create a qooxdoo widget stack in javascript based on a xml schema. This widget stack is the "editor" for elements which are defined in the xml schema. The xml schema is also the base for generating the sql ddl code for the database

Hi. I thing this is a great idea. A XSD schema for the xml can be helpful to develop external tools to create and edit the xml-qooxdoo application. There are tools to design user interfaces, like glade, that save the definition to xml files. It is possible to use that tools to create interfa
