I'm searching for a way to create a sort of inline help / guided walkthrough tour to explain certain elements/sections displayed on an SAPUI5 apps. I was checking examples, e.g. intro.js and others (https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/328/top-10-best-tour-website-guide-javascript-and-jquery-plugins). How would this work with xml views? Anyone has an idea or can point me to a resource? thx
The UI5Lab community has a custom library for guided tours, see here.
This library uses UI5 controls, so you could either use this library for your project or check the source code for some ideas on how to implement a UI5 native tour yourself.
I need to make the header and logo (google Code and Stockwatcher) of the stockwatcher example http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/tutorial/gettingstarted.html without using CSS or HTML, that is all the code should be in JAVA. Can someone tell me how to do it ?
You should be able to create Panels and place elements in them progmatatically without a problem. But if you add more details to your questions I am sure we can be more helpful.
Also, you are linking to an older version of GWT, you might be helped by using the most recent version:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuide.html
This is probably the section you are looking for:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiPanels.html
But I would recommend using UiBinder where you can, instead of pure Java. It is easier and more flexible that way.

Does anyone know of a good selectable grid for gwt google web toolkit? I need this functionality ported over for my application. Just for example I would like it work similar to pfselect for the jquery library.
Thanks,
It is on the way in GWT2.1. Currently milestone version is available. Probably you can give a try. I would suggest not to use smartgwt or ext-gwt. Because at initial page load it downloads lots of javascript.
Please have a look into this
You could look at
GWT Incubator ScrollTable (http://collectionofdemos.appspot.com/demo/index.html)
SmartGWT grid (http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/)
Ext GWT (from Ext-JS)
I would like to include an Iframe within my Vaadin App, how do I proceed implementing this? My initial idea was to wrap the GWT Frame widget, using the approach as described in the Book of Vaadin. Is this at all possible, or is there a better way?
I guess I didn't read the manual (Book of Vaadin) good enough. I found the answer to my question in section 5.15.3 Browser Frames. Ups.
I've been trying to get pretty charts to work in GWT on our internal network.
Playing around with GWT-Ext's charts is nice, but it requires flash and is really messy to control (it seems buggy, in general).
I'd like to hear about something that works with the least amount of dependencies and it also must work without a connection to the web (so, Google' charts API isn't a solution).
Edit: Indeed, I would rather a library that is all client-side.
I'm building a GWT chart library based on Flot: http://gflot.googlecode.com
I hope you find it useful. Contact me if you have any questions.
Googling for "GWT +sparklines" has gotten me to gchart, which seems like what I need.
From what I understand - it's all client side and requires nothing more than their JAR file.
Google's charts actually come in two flavours, and one of them does not require interaction with Google's servers - so should satisfy your needs.
Google Image Charts is the API you are thinking of, which is an API on Google's servers that returns images.
Google Interactive Charts is a client side javascript API that renders entirely within the browser: Google Interactive Charts
Google provides a GWT wrapper for the interactive charts: GWT Visualization API
It's not all rainbows and unicorns and you can find chart libs out there that make nicer charts, but it's pretty solid, works on all major browsers and we've been using it successfully for quite a while.
http://code.google.com/p/ext-ux-ofcgxt/ is a nice option if you're using ext-gwt
Do you want something that has a server side component or entirely client driven? The best ones I have seen are all flash, alas. I have done little tricks with JS and GWT before, but there is only sophisticated I will get before I go hunting for a library to do it for me.
There is also "sparklines" - they are available in lots of flavours (very simple charts though).
gchart looks seriously awesome. Go with it !
If you're looking for client-side check out flotr which is based on prototype javascript library or flot which is based on jQuery. Both work well, though flot seems like its got a bigger backing.
If you are willing to go with flash, XML/SWF is a wonderful tool
+1 flot, requires jQuery though, so might not play well with GWT, I haven't used that.
Another flash option, with a pre-built GWT integration - Open Flash Chart / ofcgwt.
I think that gwt-chart is a better framework for you.
well.. i've used yahoo ui chart library (which GWT-Ext uses internally). Pretty neat solution, in the beta stage though.
Let us know the conclusion you arrive at..
There is one open source api for charts in GWT hosted on http://code.google.com/p/gwt-rcharts/ . The API works on SVG/VML specification. You may find it quite easy to implement and use. You may find the demo at http://gwt-rcharts.appspot.com/
