Hello!
Much, much thanks!
That drives me into the right direction. Although I've not understand
your inital explanation, I generate my events on the server and direct
access to all of them on the client side is currently not needed.
I found a sample of an "fillInfoBubble" and can access my event
directly and your
this.getProperty("myCustomTitleField");
made it for me!!!
I'll even send custom classes to the client and simple GUIs fitting an
events class and made a simple prototype.
But what I recognized:I must build the whole popup my myself. You
mentioned a "painter". Do you have an example? I just use the
"fillInfoBubble", but must even remove the date and time etc. from the
event.
This tip could be great!
Anyway, much thanks for your help!
