Hi,

I'm a total beginner with WAB, but what I want to do is take a tool I have developed for ArcGIS Desktop and bring that into a web app.  How the tool works is:

1.  User selects a construction contract boundary from a polygon layer

2.  User clicks on the 'Document Manager' tool (in ArcGIS)

3.  A windows form opens up, connects to a web API which returns some JSON with the details on the contract boundary, based on the CONTRACT_NUMBER of the polygon.

4.  Information is displayed on the form.

See the screenshot below for an example.  All of the data here is returned via JSON.  How would I replicate this sort of behaviour with a Widget?  Where do I even start?  I realize in webapps there are no 'forms', but I guess some sort of panel to display the info would work??  I am not a web programmer at all, so just looking to get some ideas.

Thanks!

OK.  Sounds good.  The only thing I know about Dojo is that is where I take my kid there everyweek for karate lessons.  I'll have to do some more reading on what this is and how to use.

Arigato!!
