[Chameleon] Creating new widgets - Please help me

[Ines]

Hello, I'm trying to make a new widget because I need to make a special
widget for my application. I'm tying to make a new widget from the tutorial
but it have some errors in the code, so I can´t make the widget for try to
make my first widget. I'm new making widgets and chameleon applications.

I'm trying to make the widget with this tutorial:
http://chameleon-tiki.maptools.org/tiki-index.php?page=Developing+a+new+Cham
eleon+Widget

Do any body have some code without errors than can help me? It is very new
for me and I don´t understand very much.

When I can create the new widget I have to make another function for this,
but I can't still make the first step (create the widget) for try.

This is what I have to create with the widget:

Hello,
There's no widget that do exactly that I think, but creating a new one
would be easy. I suggest you add a layer in your mapfile to display this
information. You can create widget that will display the descriptions
and once done will set the EXPRESSION and status of the layer in the
mapfile with the description column value.
