The Coolite Toolkit Examples Explorer has been updated to provide a preview of the latest v0.7 code-base and upcoming public release.

The v0.7 release will bring the Toolkit closer to full widget coverage of the ExtJS Library and introduces several new core asp.net web controls such as the <ext:TreePanel> and Menu.

New Features and ASP.NET Web Controls


[AjaxMethod]Call server-side Methods from JavaScript, similar to an ASP.NET [WebMethod].
<ext:TreePanel>Display Tree based data.
<ext:MenuPanel>Menu support added for all Controls.
<ext:MenuPanel>Menu support added for all Controls.

<ext:TaskManager>Run timed tasks to fire client-side and server-side events.
<ext:TriggerField>Similar to a TextField control but with option to add one (or more) "trigger" buttons. The ComboBox and DateField are also examples of TriggerFields.
<ext:ProgressBar>A basic progress bar component to display messages to your users during long running tasks.
<ext:ColorPalette>Customizable color selector with ability to add as a Menu item or use a standalone control.
<ext:SplitButton> and <ext:CycleButton>Add Menus to your Buttons.
