Re: SwiXML and FormLayout

[Carlsbad Cubes mailing list]

I too would love to have FormLayout pluggable. For me, this is the holy
grail - words cannot express how easy/powerful FormLayout is to use vs.
any of the layout managers Sun provides. Until this happens, I sadly
can't use SwiXML (just too much code).

Thanks.

Hi,
I can only agree. still abeille, form designer would have to produce xml
code.

The XML part is an absolute must (why else are at the SwiXML forum?).
AFAIK, abeille is a luxury - I happy to hand code the XML.  Without XML,
I probably couldn't extend the code (not that I really know SwiXML) to
do things that I think are absolutely necessary like field validation (I
want an integer between 10 and 100). I will at peace when my Java code
has *nothing* to do with the display logic.

I just wrote my first cookswing helloWorld test application in eclipse and I
was wondering if you had to write a similar class which calls an xml
indirectly for SwiXML and what does that look like. Do they all begin life
like this?  

import cookxml.cookswing.*;

public class HelloWorld
{
        public static void main (String[] args)
        {
                CookSwing cookSwing = new CookSwing ();
                cookSwing.render ("examples/xml/helloworld.xml").setVisible
(true);
        }
}
