I had thought that this was going to be a conveniant way to develop a dialog based app that could be used for both windows forms apps and web apps. However there seem to be a number of issues; here's what I encountered in the last couple of days trying to 'wrap' a 'normal' webgui dialog.
1) There is no easy way to pass back any results from... Gizmox.WebGUI.Client.Application.Run(.. it would be nice to be able to return a lump of XML :-)
Using version 6.1 of the SDK...
3) Checked list boxes. Are rendered without check boxes
4) TabControl - Pages ignore visible property...
4) Combo-boxes. When bound to a data source, in my case a List of classes with DisplayMember & ValueMember properties.. the drop-down list holds the class name and not the value - easy fix was to add ToString on the class
5) App.config - Default 'HomeDirectory' point to some location on the d: drive (of the devs machine)... setting this to the parent of a resource folder allows me to load icons etc (btw but rendering seems to ignore picture box layout property). And.. (I think the WebGui Section is versioned as 2.0.5701.0 instaed of 3.0.5701.0)
Any comments welcome
Pete
