We started to use sidebars in our WebApps.
The idea is to provide a user with information or access to functionalities, which are not specific to one view, but span different views.
A persisting element across different views, similar to the command bar, but more powerful.

Examples: Notifications, Todos, Calendar-like functionalities, Chat, etc.

There are a few problems with this approach:
- You can only display one view at the time, so the sidebar is placed directly in the WebApp, which makes the use of data aware controls kind of hard.
- "AllowAccess" and similar features don't work
- The Froala editor does not initialize properly if it's placed outside of a view

What I'm trying now is to sort of merge a cWebPanel and a cWebModalDialog so I can place it in a sidebar.
Did anyone try this as well? Did you succeed?

Is this something that could be implemented in a future version of DataFlex? I imagine, this could be useful to other developers as well.
