DataView Component

We continue to add user interface components to the DHTMLX Touch library.

You can define any custom template that will be used to display objects and arrange them according to your own design preferences.

DHTMLX 3.0 Preview: Visual Designer and Global Data Storage

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

While most of our latest updates have focused on the DHTMLX Touch mobile framework, we want to assure you that our JavaScript Ajax library also gets lots of our attention. We are preparing a major upgrade that will be released this spring and will introduce two significant improvements: a visual designer tool and global data storage.

Both additions will take the DHTMLX library to the next level and will make development with DHTMLX even easier and faster. This update will change the approach to the development process and the data storage routine used in DHTMLX. We can say that the library is reaching version 3.0.

Visual Designer Tool

DHTMLX 3.0 will introduce a visual designer tool that will enable you to initialize the DHTMLX components on a web page, configure their parameters, and build an application user interface without writing the code manually.

You’ll be able to define the layout of your application and compose the interface elements via a simple and intuitive visual designer. The tool will then generate the JavaScript code for the basis of your web application. You may further modify the generated code to enhance the application functionality.

Global Data Storage

In addition to the existing UI-centric model of data storage, which will be fully supported in DHTMLX 3.0, you will also be able to build web applications with data-centric architecture. The new approach will allow you to keep all your application data in one place and then use this data to populate any DHTMLX component, be it a datagrid, or tree, or combo, etc.
