We could probably support an ActiveX control embedded in the xml code without too much trouble, if that would help.
What do you need?
Yes! An ActiveX control in the XML would be terrific. Here is what I want to be able to do:
1. Programmatically move to a given node in the tree by giving it the tree path name.
2. When a node is selected, my script gets control via a method call. The value I return from my method determines whether Hairstyle will process the selection event or not. Thus, I can either intercept the event and do something different, or do some pre-action and let the event go ahead.
3. Add arbitrary choices to the current node. When the user selects one of these, I simply get notified and can do whatever. This allows non-tree-related features to be added by the script author. Example: Reshuffle using My Super-sophisticated Shuffling Algorithm (TM)
or Toggle display of the current weather on the screen.
4. Modify text labels on a button, preferably via DHTML.
5. Ability to totally rearrange the screen via DHTML.
In summary, I think what I am asking for is an SDK that offers similar flexibility as Metamorphasis does for mini-mi skins.
Is this in line with what JRiver is thinking, or am I way off base? Thank, JimH, for asking!
