Canvas Layout

I figured I would play around and see what I came up with on the Canvas side of the world.
I think with the addition of the Gridtree - you can do pretty much everything you can think of in Canvas.
My wish list would be a toolbox and some sort of container object - but that might not be feasible.

And of course - the standard sections.400

Hi Herb,

Exactly :)

There will be additional components added to the Canvas section after v1.0.

The big difference between a Custom section and a Canvas section is that the Lianja engine understands the hierarchy of objects in a Canvas section as they are all registered in the LOM.

What this means is that delegates can be dispatched on any device.

So the Cloud/Mobile HTML5/JavaScript Clients will include Canvas sections after I have all the standard sections working to my satisfaction. (I'm doing that now for Mobile in fact).

Whatever type of section you use you can call server-side code written in VFP and this is handled by the clients.

So for example if your validation is written in VFP and you specify it like this:

my_validate_function("{}")

then this is evaluated on the server substituting {} with the current value in the control.

JavaScript libraries are loaded into the client so no round trip is required.

Very cool Barry.

Can't wait to get my hands on it :)
