Brand new GWT developer here -- tasked with implementing a thin client that will replace a rich client .NET program that used to make use of this dockable window library:
http://www.divelements.com/net/controls/sanddock/screenshots.aspx I'm currently struggling with the layout of the main window. It is fairly standard with a nearly static header at the top, fixed height status pane at the bottom, hideable navigation window to the left (west) and a master/detail form in the middle, and hideable help pane to the right (east). After some investigation and coding, it looks like SplitLayoutPanel may be what I need, but I have questions: 1) How do I make it so that it properly reacts to window resize events? Do I have to code this myself? Is there a better way? 2) Can I get rid of the splitters below the header and above the status bar. If this is not possible, should I just use a VerticlePanel and put the SplitLayoutPanel in the middle? 3) How do I make it so that the "master" pane can be dragged and dropped below the "navigation" pane. This is an important capability for users because it allows them to maximize the detail area while keeping the "master" items visible. 4) What kind of pane should I use for the hidable panes? How do I animate the showing/hiding? Sorry for all the newbie questions. Thanks for any help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
