Simple Control Demos
The following samples demonstrate the Web Control Framework functionality by way of several simple examples that focus on one or two features at a time. All examples, contain viewable source code for both the Script and FoxPro code on the bottom of each page.
Control State Basics
Demonstrates basic text and button controls, event handling, auto-postbacks, and viewstate property persistence
in a very simple form.
Basic DataGrid Example
Simple DataGrid example demonstrates databinding features including, pagination, sorting, custom expressions, format expressions and
special column formatting.
Databinding and Edit Controls
Demonstrates both control based and list binding and managing data entry. Shows
error handling and display for binding and business logic errors.
AJAX Hover Window
Shows a DataGrid with links that pop up content about the developer
at the current mouse position without reloading the entire page.
AJAX Page Method Callbacks
Shows how to use AJAX to call methods of the current page and return data in a variety
of formats to update client data without a full round trip to the server.
Progress Bar with AJAX Updates
This example uses the wwWebProgress control to run a lengthy task and return the
result back into the page while pinging the server and displaying progress information.
Modal Dialogs Popups
This example demonstrates modal popup windows in client script. Shows a darkened
background with a dialog box shown on top in the foreground. This feature is part
of the AJAX control library.
Html Editor and Repeater
Example of using the HtmlEditor control to enter rich text (in IE) and quickly display
summarized data in a repeater using the repeater as a selection list. Also demonstrates
databinding and error display.
Repeater with Editable Controls
Demonstrates using a wwWebRepeater to create an editable grid of data that shows
many editable records simulataneously and lets you read all of the data.
Panels and Containers
Demonstrates how to use Panels to hide and display content dynamically.
Also demonstrates property persistence again as well as a Radiobutton List with
events.
Page and Control level Authentication
A simple example that demonstrates how to control access to a page as a whole using
the super easy wwProcess::Authenticate() method, and protecting parts of a page dynamically
by using a wwWebLogin Control.
Application Examples
The following are a set of more complex examples - small, self-contained applications if you will, that demonstrate a number of the features of the framework.
Web Log Sample
This example demonstrates a real-world
application scenario that manages a
number of components simultaneously. The Web Log demonstrates usage of
Repeater controls, Visual User Controls, and Caching and
coordinating a fair number of forms in a complete application.
West Wind Chat
A small chat application that allows you to
chat with other users online, show other users active and jump to different
chats.
Guest Book Sample
This small sample demonstrates many of the aspects of the new Page Framework. In particular it shows auto-postbacks, databinding to a business
object, Page state management using Viewstate, container display and hiding, input validation and custom controls.
Data Grid Example
This simple example demonstrates the use of the WebDataGrid control. The grid control contains
support for maintaining its own state, paging. It also supports custom column configurations
the ability to use custom expressions for display, including support for Fox UDFs and methods.
The current build does not support editing, but later builds will.
