Re: [riena-dev] wizards in riena?

Christian / Todd,

I think Todd was asking if Riena provides something in the area of
Wizards in addition to what is provided by RCP...

You should be able to use the existing wizard framework (Jface /
Platform UI). We don't provide anything on top of it or apply theming
to it. However you can use Ridgets (Rich/Riena Widgets) in your wizard
pages, similar to the way they are used in the snippets (example: Text
t = new Text(...); ITextRidget tr = (ITextRidget)
SwtRidgetFactory.createRidget(t); tr.addValidationRule(...)) and
benefit from the data binding, markers, etc.

It would be interesting to hear your ideas / requirements in that area.

Kind regards,
Elias.
