Hi Sergei,

Would you mind answering first a question - why would you want to integrate
a UI library with Ample SDK? What benefit are you looking for?

It is possible to integrate pure JavaScript UI components (although you
would loose the speed of rendering UI with components implemented in Ample
SDK fashion), you can take a look at a very simplistic example of turning
Google maps JS API into XML-based technology example:
http://www.amplesdk.com/examples/markup/aui/maps/ map and marker elements
implementations:
https://github.com/clientside/amplesdk/blob/master/ample/languages/aui/elements/map.jsand
https://github.com/clientside/amplesdk/blob/master/ample/languages/aui/elements/marker.js


I also took a quick look into Telrik library components
http://www.kendoui.com/ but could hardly find components not present in
XUL... Yes, XUL implementation in Ample SDK doesn't look good enough in
front of those components, so why not lift it up instead?

Sergey/

Hi.<br>
<br>
Currently the set of UI controls in Amples SDK is pretty limited.<br>
Yeah, XUL is cool but it&#39;s far from modern UI libraries like <a href=3D=
"http://wijmo.com" target=3D"_blank">http://wijmo.com</a><br>
and <a href=3D"http://www.kendoui.com/" target=3D"_blank">http://www.kendou=
i.com/</a> for example.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to integrate such libraries (they are jQuery UI<br>
plugins) with Ample SDK?<br>
