Echo3 Extras

Echo3 Extras provides a collection of additional user interface components for the Echo3 framework. This project is currently under development and should be considered beta-quality software.

Current components provided by the Extras library include:

  • AccordionPane: A tabbed container that displays its contents between vertical separators with only one child component displayed at a time. The separators slide up and down with an animated effect when the user changes selection by clicking on a separator.
  • BorderPane: A simple single-child container that displays its content surrounded by a graphically drawn FillImageBorder.
  • CalendarSelect: A date selection component which provides a view of an entire calendar month to aid in selection.
  • ColorSelect: An Hue-Saturation-Value based color selection component.
  • ContextMenu: Right-click context menus.
  • DragSource: A container which allows content to be dragged and dropped.
  • DropDownMenu: SelectField-style drop down menus.
  • Group: Graphical bordered container. Can include title text to describe the content.
  • MenuBarPane: A pull-down menu component with the capability to display submenus and toggle/radio items.
  • RichTextArea: A rich text editor component. Can use pulldown menus and dialogs themed to containing application.
  • TabPane: A traditional tabbed pane implementation. This component can lazy-render its children to reduce initial load times.
  • ToolTipContainer: A component which enables the use of another component as a mouse-hover tool tip.
  • Tree: Server-side model-based hierarchical tree component.
  • TransitionPane: A single-child container that plays an animated effect when its content is changed. Currently supported effects include camera pans and fades.
