> <?
> require_once('widget.php');
>
> class myForm extends Form {
> public function __construct(){
> $this->Title = 'Main Window';
>
> $button = new Button();
> $button->Title = 'A test Button';
> $button->OnClick = 'buttonOnClick';
> $this->AddControl($button);
> }
> public function buttonOnClick(){
> MessageBox::Show('Hello, World !'); }
> }
>
> Application::$Title = 'Widget Demo';
> Application::Run(new myForm());
> ?>

> In this case, Application::Run() creates a context on the client (IE,
> Firefox...) where AJAX is easily useable. It also renders the interface,
> using xhtml/css code specific to the navigator used by the client
> (Specific
> code for IE incompatibilities, for example).
>
> Button->OnClick is a public member of a class Button. It is similar to a
> delegate (or function pointer). Its job is to write code into the onClick
> javascript event of the button.
> When the button is clicked, an AJAX call is performed on the server,
> requesting the execution of the handled code, in this case :
> myForm->buttonOnClick().
>
> MessageBox::Show() is defined in the php framework and calls a
> javascript on
> the client that draws a messagebox containing a message.

> As you can see, the idea is pretty simple : imitating wxWidgets/.NET to
> delegate xhtml/css and AJAX to the framework. So the programmer

Hi David,
Take a look at Qcodo (http://www.qcodo.com) as this does exactly what you're
looking for.
