[DynAPI-WidgetDev] HTMLWidgets and drag-drop question

[A P <the...@gm...>]

Hi All ,

I have been playing with the latest 3.0 beta and am highly impressed !
I would like to use DynAPI Objects to create a online IDE for basic
Page layout design...
I am sure there are some there but there are too complex for what I am
trying to do.

My question is : Can I use the  HTML* Widgets *outside* the TemplateManager=
 ?

I dont want to create a template . All I want is a layer on which I
can drag and drop the HTML* widgets on to it.
Basically I want to create a "pallette" of few HTML Widgets (
textbox,dropdowns,buttons etc)
and then drag-drop them onto a "workspace" layer.

Hence , there wont be any TemplateManager. Is this supported ? Can I
do this without using any template ? My next question is : is
drag&drop supported with these HTML* widgets ?

Otherwise I will have to create my own version of the HTML Widgets
using DynLayers...hate to start from there as there is such a good
library present. :-)

What I am trying to achieve is a very basic HTML Page builder where a
user can drag a HTML widget on the workspace and edit the properties..
This will be later used for code generation to generate the backend
code for any UI framework..

thanks for any suggestions..
