Wt

Hello everyone,

I have the following code. It works as it should. It took me a while to understand how to create a link, but everything is working. I want to ask you for your critics. I want to see if I understand the way I have to use Wt. This example shows some code to add some web parts like a header, footer, sidebar (I know about layouts, however I'm still figuring things out) and a link to a couple pages: home and page1.

This is a very simplistic version of an app. In a real application I would separate in different files (cpp's and h's), etc... however I'm trying to make an easy example too see how it works.

Thank you so much.

        appName = "Application Name";
        setTitle(appName);
        _content = 0;
        internalPathChanged().connect(this, &ControlExample::onInternalPathChange);

        header();        
        home();
        sidebar();
        footer();
    }

    WContainerWidget* content() {
        if (_content == 0) {
            _content = new WContainerWidget(root());
            _content->setId("content");

        WAnchor* a = new WAnchor(WLink(WLink::InternalPath, "/page1"), "page 1", content());
    }

    void page1() {
        content()->addWidget(new WText("<strong>Page 1</strong> content and a link to "));
        WAnchor* a = new WAnchor(WLink(WLink::InternalPath, "/"), "home", content());
