Hello Sir!

I am planning = to use Mac OS style dock menu for my app instead of the usual Toolbar = button. When I click on the image, a data-entry form will appear. Each = image has its corresponding form/dialog when clicked. The only reason = for this, is that, it is "nicer to look at and its modern = looking".  Would that be possible sir?

Thanks for your = quick reply.

I am familiar with the OS X dock, but I am not = exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish in your application. Can you try to describe what you are looking for in more = detail?

I hope someone can give me pointers on how this can be done = the Pivot way. There are a lot of samples in Javascript = (Dojo,JQuery,Nitobi,ExtJS,Motools). Unbelievably, I didn't find a single = sample/demo in Java!  Even Sun's Pet Store web Application tutorial = uses javascript/ajax for the fisheye menu.

Well...in fairness, I = found one written in JavaFX script but that's another story and I'm not = impressed with that one.

Thanks for any suggestion.
Hopefully, the Pivot Team could come up with this = kind of demo in the = future.


Respectfully,
