i need the html canvas so bad
the other option i think the panelator example from the SDK ?
any suggestions would be awesome
thanks inadvance

If you don't care about the border, then you could potentially use CEP, but I don't believe you can position a CEP window by the mouse, even if you get

Yea, the CEP limitations are unfortunate. Best of luck in the SDK World!
