It’s been a while since I made a blog post on nbdev, apart from work (IT Tech work), this is what I’ve been working on: http://chsextranet.codeplex.com/
Right, version 4.5 of HAP contains something that I feel is really cool, it’s a silverlight file explorer. The current version in HAP uses Javascript, which I couldn’t quiet get working properly, anyhow, the new version goes even further, enabling drag and drop every where.
Now what you are about to see is a concept design, it’s complicated to get this working, so here we go.
http://www.nbdev.co.uk/hap/HAP.Silverlight.BrowserTestPage.html is the test page, it' doesn’t do much yet.
It will do a lot more.
So what do we have, we have a treeview on the side (much like explorer), A toolbar at the top (looking like the one in Windows 7 and Windows Live), and a couple of files in the middle (it’s not bound to the REST API for HAP yet, which will populate that, and the tree. It’s mainly to get the UI done before I do the back end and code. It’s already 400k big, I don’t know how, but it is, and this doesn’t even have the full drag and drop support coded yet.
I’m doing this when I get time (read: Get Bored) so it’s not top priority.
Things to do:
- Write the ASP.net REST API for Silverlight to use
- Design the upload UI
- Make a modal popup for New Folder
- drag and drop UI
- Link the API with silverlight and release as a BETA
