HTMLWidget in EA

[angel-o-sphere]

Hi,

another "wiered" idea: would it probably possible via the Add In API to have a HTML widget in the area where you have the properties/pan&zoom views?

Background is: I like to keep stuff like UC Texts either in a Wiki or in an Eclipse project.

It would be cool if the EA could display a web page that is referenced via an automatism, or via a tagged value, when a node is selected.

Example:
I have a use case "Create Customer" and some where is configured that my URL for Use Case Texts is: http://intern.visualsphere.com/project_bla/usecases.jsp?{name of usecase}

Or I configure:
http://public.visualsphere.com/project_bla/{name of usecase}.html

There only needs to be a string which uses a parameter substitution schema like the Tools under the Tools menu in EA.

Angelo,

I'm fairly sure you could do this via the API. You would probably have to write this as an add-in (rather than an external automation program).

The API allows you to design and install your own windows, which can act the same way as other 'panels' do in EA.

Is there a market palce somewhere so I can hire a poor sole to do that

As I noted in an other psot: I have no clue about OLE/COM/.Net  in that depth and no intention to fiddel with MS technologies.

Half a year ago I would have had the time. But now...

I guess this place is a good starting point. Else try XING or Gulp.
