During the week of February 23, Jon Sayles and Scott Pecnik have been teaching a try-out course on EGL Rich UI. I am doing the general Q&A session on Friday, and all the hard questions will be addressed then.

Dr. Chris answering the questions of live....

Some very good questions that came from the audience were:

• When creating a library there’s an RichUI properties library option, what’s this?
• In JSF we have request,session and application variables how to handle this in RichUI?
• In Batch/JSF we have the rununit.properties file or the environment variables to store properties how to handle this in RichUI?
• Are there any plans to do something with the ExtJs GWT widgets in RichUI?
• What about support in RichUI for the DOJO widgets?
• For the development environment, are there any plans to make the design and preview tab available for RUIWidget handlers?
• When defining an event handler, I have to say "e Event in", what is the significance of the "in" modifier?
• How do I include a CSS file that is shared by more than one project, such as a company-wide global stylesheet?
• In the editor's "design" tab, can I use the outline view to arrange widget layout, instead of dragging and dropping in the visual editor canvas?
• Can I include things like <meta> tags in my generated HTML file?
• What happens at runtime when the children field is set? What is the life-cycle of widgets and RUIHandlers?
• How does RUI support I18N?
• How can I handle window.onClose events?

We will go over these questions Feb. 27, 11am EST.
