About
The qWikiOffice Desktop Environment is a project that was started to fill a need.
We wanted to create online applications with all the bells and whistles that a desktop version would have, while being able to provide an easily recognizable environment to the end user. A desktop environment does this and also allows us to easily offer many applications within a single web page.
The first challenge was to find a javascript coding library. Searches on Google turned up several libraries that would help make this a possibility, and in the end Ext JS seemed a good fit for us.
When Ext JS released their desktop demo in 2007 the potential to extend it further was easy to see. So beginning in the fall of 2007 I started creating these extensions of the Ext JS widgets for this desktop:
- Ext.ux.StartMenuTool, extends Ext.menu.Item
- Ext.ux.StartMenu, extends Ext.menu.Menu
- Ext.ux.Taskbar, extends Ext.util.Observable
- Ext.ux.QuickStartPanel, extends Ext.BoxComponent
This thread in the Ext Js forum can be viewed for additional information.
