New Shape Widget

Hi

In VFP there is a shape widget that supports rounded corners and border styles and fill colors. It would be nice to have such a widget in Lianja.

Thanks,

The shape widget is already implemented. Have a look at the custom section in the lianjademo.

OTOH, if you create a label, you can set the CSS style which does this plus much more e.g gradient fill, border-radius etc.

All controls can be skinned by setting their CSS.

Until Lianja gets a built-in CSS editor (hint: 1.x :)), there are online CSS editors for doing things like that visually, and then getting the CSS as pasteable text. For example, http://www.css3maker.com/

Yes I can see them in the demo but they are not available that I can see from the "advanced widget" list in the app builder so is that an oversight or must they be added to the page using code?

We have not included all controls/widgets in the "Advanced" menu. Is the "Shape" that you want not possible using a label with CSS? What shape exactly are you thinking of?

The one I would use most often would be a box shape with/without rounded corners used to group related items together visually on the screen. I often used the VFP shape control for this purpose.

You should be able to use a label for that purpose together with CSS. We will look into it as well as the z-order to make it more useful.
