How to .exe with a pallet so that user can drag and drop items to form? Like VB.NET or DreamWeaverbut smaller?

Question

What I want to do is create an .exe file perhaps in VB.NET or Java. I would like to make it so that a pallet opens up with items I put on there that they could just drag onto a form. Then the form would output a file in JavaScript or PHP or something so that they could post that file in an online server. How might I go about doing this? One can see these sorts of things all the time like in Dreamweaver or something, (Or in VB.NET or NetBeans itself), where one loads a program and then there is a palette and they can drag and drop stuff onto a form. Code is written. I want to do the same but on a much much smaller scale. Any leads of how one could go about doing this, perhaps different options, is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

Answer 1

.NET and Java are good tools using which you can do this..You will need to create what are called as "Controls" and define the behavior of these controls through a lot of code. The code can then be "compiled" to create an executable (.exe)

However let me warn you that this requires a lot of programming expertise.
