GUI Components

[cs01rsw]

HI, i have spent alot of time developing desktop applications with vb, and am now moving over to developing web applications.

I just have a questions about controls. When coding in VB i found that there were lots of active x controls (interface components such as listviews, grids, charts etc...) either provided by VB or various other companies. I could find lots of different types of controls for almost anything i needed to do.

I am now using dreamweaver but am finding it difficult to find many gui controls at all. I am specifically looking for a, what i thought would be very common, listview control.

Is it me or are there not many gui controls available for developing web applications. This seems very strange to me

thanks for any help

The web is a pretty different animal than desktop applications. The available controls are fairly flexible but if you are finding that you actually need a lot of different controls than perhaps the web isn't the best medium to build the application on. In addition, on the web you build a lot more of what you need, it isn't quite as click and drag as VB.

If you need to make a grid of data (assuming thats what the listview control in VB does), thats what the table tag is designed for.
