hmm... so it means we're doing pretty low level stuff and that GWT is
not offering much tools. I'm a bit worried that we're developing more
than we should. This will mean lots of maintenance too.
Isn't there any existing solutions for this?
I'd say that what GWT gives us is not scalable all the time. I'll look for
alternatives GWT libraries for both dialog boxes and drag&drop logic.
But, you don't have something against using dialog boxes? I know Anca has.
Hi devs,
While working on the new GWT-based WYSIWYG editor, I find out that
the
default DialogBox from GWT moves very slow when dragged if it
contains
many HTML elements (like a table with 10 rows and 20 columns). In
the
current WYSIWYG editor dialog boxes are used for color picker,
custom
character, insert image / attachment / macro / table. Before I start
porting these dialogs to GWT I'd like to ask you:
Do you agree with using dialog boxes for these features?
* if so, do you think it's ok to optimize the way they are moved by
showing only their border while dragging (win95-like)?
If you do so, what are you showing instead of the dialog content ?
the
content behind ? or a plain color ?
I think the main use case (if not the only ?) for moving such
dialogs is
to see what's behind. In that case showing only the border and let
the
user see what's behind is good IMO.
Thanks

PS: Please bear with me as I've never developed with GWT so I don't
know what's available or not.
