=== WCF - Web Controls Framework ===
====================================

This Library will give you the chance to develop web applications
like it is known from any major desktop application library. No
need to write you own javascripts to make things work dynamicaly,
it all will be created for you.


--------------------
--- Requirements ---
--------------------

In order to get the whole thing work, your system must comply the 
following requirements:
  - WebServer (Apache, IIS etc)
  - PHP4/5 (enabled in your Webserver)


--------------------
--- Installation ---
--------------------

It is quite easy to install this library. Just put it in your
favourite folder and link all the needed files into your
index site (or wherever you need the controls to take part).

If you want to use all of the controls (or you don't know
wich files are needed in wich order) just include the header.php
It will include all available Controls and the needed Dependencies.

Do it the following way:
  require "/path/to/wcl/header.php";
 
 
 -------------
 --- Usage ---
 -------------
 
 The most important thing to know is, that all of the Controls begin with
 "wui" wich stands for Web User Interface.
 To create a Web Control Layout, the easiest way ist to create a panel
 that contains all you application. So you just have render one single
 control to you preferred output. 
 Now create some more controls, whatever you want, and put them to
 the panel you created in the beginning.
 To Render a control, just call the render() Method of the Control. It
 returns the complete XHTML code.
 
 Example:
  
  require "/path/to/wcl/header.php";
  
  // Create the content Panel wich holds all other controls.
  $content_panel = new wuiPanel("contentPanel1");
  
  // Create a label and give it a text
  $label1 = new wuiLabel("label1");
  $label1->setText("Hello World!");
  
  // add the label to the content panel
  $content_panel->add($label1);
  
  // render the panel (it will render all child controls itself)
  echo $content_panel->render();
