Hi,
We're interested in using VE as an integral part of our editor for building
rich client platform.
As a newbie I have some VE-related questions, please give me some links if
already answered.
1. As there're no official developement docs available, only some articles
and presentations
and all APIs are marked as internal, the first question would be about
documentation plans.
And probably there're some community discussions, articles, etc. that could
be helpful.
2. All our current eclipse editors are multi-page editors, is it possible to
embed VE as a page in
multi-page editor?
3. We use altered property sheet with 3 columns (name,value,type). Is there
any possibility
to substitute standard VE property sheet, what kind of effort will it
require?
Think all for now. Thanks in advance.
Eugene

The current editor is not embeddable. That is because it is a subclass
of the Java editor, and the Java editor is not really embeddable yet.

Rich,
Thanks for your answer.
Probably I'll be more descriptive with the second question I had,
so you could understand the idea and probably propose some solution.
Speaking about property sheet with 3 columns, I was actually
talking about data binding. In our framework we have various
source of such bindings, like literal (what VE currently supports),
and various data types (from our proprietary data model).
So what I would like to know is how this should be handled by VE.
I see several options:
1. Generating data mappings directly in code,
like textfield.setText((String)DataService.getData("customer.firstName "));
This means we need to parse it back to show correct values in property view.
This could also mean we need to make some steps to provide proper
visualization in the visual view.
2. Attach our model to keep mappings on our side
Is it possible at all?
3. Generate some annotations/doclets stored in the code
What is the right way to visualize such typed properties in VE?
We had 3 columns, switching type - switched appropriate cell editor to edit
actual value.
But as I understand we can not integrate such approach into current VE-way
of doing things?
Also what is the right place to store reference to our data model to work
with in VE property cell editors?
Thanks,
Eugene
