Hi, at the FOSS4G 2009 at the OpenLayers BoF we discussed a bit that it would be cool to have an easier way for integrating controls that are based on other JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Dojo or ExtJs. At the code sprint we (ahocevar, rdewit and I) got a bit more specific at the whiteboard. No I finally managed to get some code done.
Please have a look at my sandbox at an example: http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/vmx/ui/examples/jq-zoom.html The buttons at the top could be OpenLayers ones, the others below are jQuery UI ones. The important bits are at http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/vmx/ui/lib/geojq/olui.js It's only a rough cut, but you should get the basic idea. The idea is to separate the visualisation/representation of a control from the functionality. What do you think about it? BTW: There are no changes to OpenLayers code base.
