Custom FormItem data binding

[bbruyn]

All I'm really trying to do is use a GWT RichTextArea in a DynamicForm. I just want it to read and write string data to and from some datasource field.

For what it's worth, I've been through various experiments with CKEditor and TinyMCE integration, all of which seemed to be way more trouble than it was worth, and at the end of the day I still had the same problem with databinding.

I've read any number of forum posts regarding extending CanvasItem. Some of it made sense, a lot of it did not, and I can't make it work regardless. Is this the right approach? What's the secret to getting data in and out?

The secret is to look at the sample (in the latest nightly builds - smartclient.com/builds).

Ah, yes. Much better.

Thank you.

Were you able to get this working? I've also spent a lot of time trying to get a fully functional CanvasItem implementation of TinyMCE, CKEditor or GWT RichTextArea. If you have a working version of any of these I would very much appreciate it if you would post the code. Thanks.
