GxUI Library

Description

GxUI is a user controls library for GeneXus X or higher, based on ExtJS 4.1. It features a set of controls for building highly interactive web applications with GeneXus.

Features

Currently, GxUI provides the following user controls:

• GridExtension

  Custom render for Grid controls. Wraps Ext.grid.Panel so it can be used from GeneXus. Grids are an excellent way of showing large amounts of tabular data on the client side. Essentially a supercharged <table>, GridExtension makes it easy to fetch, sort and filter large amounts of data.

• Layout

  Layout User Control. Wraps an Ext.panel.Panel with a BorderLayout so it can be used from GeneXus. This is a multi-pane, application-oriented UI layout style that supports multiple nested panels, automatic split bars between regions and built-in expanding and collapsing of regions.

• Menu

  A basic floating menu control. It supports adding buttons, separators and submenus. It's an implementation of Ext.menu.Menu.

• Message

  This control allows you to show a message in two ways: Alert or Notification. If you want to show an alert, a modal message dialog will appear. If you want to show a notification, a non-modal notification window will appear, similar to the one used by Microsoft Outlook when a new mail message arrives.

• Panel

  Panel User Control. Wraps Ext.panel.Panel so it can be used from GeneXus. The control basically is a container of other controls. After dragging the control to the form you can include any control in the cell provided by the control. Also, it came with a Toolbar included.

• Splash

  This control shows a splash screen. The splash screen is shown only once (a cookie is stored to remember if it was already shown).

• TabPanel

  A basic tab container. Wraps Ext.tab.Panel so it can be used from GeneXus.

• Toolbar

  Toolbar User Control. Wraps Ext.toolbar.Toolbar so it can be used from GeneXus. The control basically loads a SDT which contains the toolbar items.

• Treeview

  Treeview User Control wraps Ext.tree.Panel so it can be used from GeneXus. This control provides tree-structured UI representation of tree-structured data and is an excellent tool for displaying heirarchical data in an application. Tree nodes can be loaded invoking a remote URL or through a SDT.

• Viewport

  Viewport user control allows any contained GxUI control to occupy all the available space on screen.

Building Your Copy of GxUI

GxUI is built using MSBuild

Prerequisites

• You have MSBuild
• You are familiar with git.

Build

Once you have the repository cloned, building a copy of GxUI is really easy.

BuildBatch.bat

At this point, you should now have a build/ directory populated with everything you need to use GxUI.

The bat file accepts an optional parameter to indicate if it's a Debug or Release build. If no parameter is specified, a Debug build is performed.
