Hi,
How can we extend Visual editor, so that it starts using ui components
defined by user.
Is VE an extensible plug-in with extension points or extension is achieved
by some other method.

Regards
Tanul

The API is still being defined. So for now it is a case by case thing.
We don't have anything in the way of documentation. We have a lot of
examples (i.e. the actual code). So if you are looking to do a certain
thing, see if we already do it and then do it similarly. Also, ask
questions here about specific things and we can try to answer them.

Thanks Rich,
First thing I am not very clear about is, whether ve has it's own
extensions or not, because the source for ve 0.5 does not specify any exsd
file.

I have a certain set of custom ui classes which imcludes a customized
frame,several components like buttons and some extra custom layout
managers.

Initialy I would only like to initiate the visual class with my custom
frame and would like to use the property sheet for the same.

It will be kind if you can provide me with some code and information for
the same

Best Regards
Tanul

You should be able to just use the custom frame (though for now we will
wipe out your content pane and replace it. That is a problem we have and
not been able to fix it yet).

Just try dropping your custom components and see what doesn't work and
ask questions.
