Custom active controls in Prado Part I

August 9, 2007 at 12:22 pm (Ajax, Frameworks, PHP, Prado, Tips, Tutorial)

There has been lots of interest in the AJAX (active controls) features in Prado lately, but the lack of client side controls has been a turn-off for many. The area that’s gotten most request is drag / drop. Prado 2 had controls for this, but it’s been absent in Prado 3. Several users on the forums has been trying to get it working, but nothing has ever been completed. The main issue has been the communication between the client side scripts and the server side control (callbacks). I’ve spent some time digging trough the Prado code and created a concept control which fires a callback.

Code:

MyDraggable.js code

MyDraggable.php

Home.php

Home.page

Stay tuned for Part II which hopefully shows something more useful 🙂
