POD component – Dashboard
Architecture, Flex, RIA, Weborb January 10th, 2009Yesterday I was looking for a way to show multiple statistics next to each other. I had a component in mind that could contain Panels. The Panels would have to be divided over the available space. If there was one Panel, it would get all the space, with two Panels the space would be divided in two, … Also you need to maximize, restore and minmize the Panels.
Thx to Tom Van den Eynde from VDE Projects I found a very nice example of such a component.
Here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/dashboard/dashboard.html. The Panels are also draggable.
I haven’t begun to use it but I’m sure this will be a great example to start from.
Thx, Lieven Cardoen

Instructions on how to use the library along with a sample app/code are available at the following link: http://blog.comtaste.com/2008/12/how_to_use_the_flex_dashboard_1.html . Hopefully this helps.
