Using VE as an event-driven form designer [message #134317]

Hi

Is it possible to use VE as an event-driven form designer? For the
project that I am working on I do not need the ability to round-trip to
a java class. I simply need a form designer canvas onto which the user
can drag-and-drop Labels, TextBoxes etc. Whenever the user manipulates
the canvas (adding controls, moving controls) I would like the canvas to
trigger events with which I can programmatically update my model.

Is this possible using a subset of VE?

Thanks

Steve

I would recommend to use just GEF.
