Free form layout and absolute positioning

Hi,
I am new to Webix, good impression!

With Designer, it’s possible to create complex forms with absolute positioning of fields?
I need to manage a lot of field inputs over a background image, like tax forms (or complex Pdf acroforms)…

DataTable are capable to summarized totals, counts, etc…?

I am looking for a valid web framework in porting my desktop applications to the web.
Thanks in advance!

Stefano

Hi,

According to the man principles of the Webix positioning, you can use layouts (including spacers) with the fixed size. Also, you can set padding within the layout propertes.

Math in the datatable rows works well, but for now math within the columns can work only with predefined values.

As for column totals, you can use footer:{content:"summColumn"}.

Please check this article and the snippet.

In addition to the summColumn there’s also a set of extra math counters for datatable footer that are not included in the package but can be downloaded from Github: extras/datatable/counters at master · webix-hub/extras · GitHub

Hi,
ok for summColumn; thanks.
But for visual form builder I need a perfect x/y postioning of controls over an image (I talk about 200-300 fields in a form) and not padding. All the layout in that area, in this particular need, must be fixed, rendered and aligned at pixel level …
There is a way for obtain this in next Designer? (it’s only online?)
Thanks in advance!
