Hi,
I am new to Servoy and installed the Community Edition.
I have created some forms and tested it with the SmartClient and WebClient.
The Webclient looks pretty basic.
Are there more advanced AJAX controls available in the Servoy framework?
Or do you have to look for external controls?
If so, how do you integrate those controls in Servoy? Custom coding?
To give you an idea about the controls that I am thinking about:

(this is just an example; I am in no way related to the supplier of the controls)
Thanks,
Simon.
you can create you own ui elements as beans, to integrate you have to write them in wicket.
So the Servoy Webclient is what you get out-of-the-box? Looks pretty basic.
On the designer toolbar I can see basic components like button, folder, split-pane etc.
Does Servoy offer AJAX components similar to the complexity to the ones I mentioned in the opening post?
Or do you have always have to create you own look-and-feel of the application? How does this work?
The basic Servoy Webclient is developed in Apache Wicket and could be customized to “talk” to the DHX components?
What you see in the designer is what servoy gives you out of the box
We have components that works on both ends, so in the Smart (Swing) and Web client.
If you want to use richer components (that maybe only target web for you) then you can build them yourself and integrate with anything you want by creating a wicket component.
So if you can create a wicket component with it you can use it. And wicket can integrate if need with pretty much any js lib you want.
As for styling: You can use CSS StyleSheets for styling the look of the components.
