extending formbuilder .. tutorials?

Are there any tutorials for building and adding components to formbuilder?

How are custom components such as controls added to the left menu?


[p.s.]

I've now found this .. Custom XML.   is this where to start?

No tutorial per se, but you can control the toolbox via the properties:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-form-builder#TOC-Toolbox

You can see the values of the properties controlling the default toolbox here:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources-packaged/config/properties-form-builder.xml

Each entry in a property refers to an XBL file, which contains one or
more XBL components. The components have metadata which lets Form
Builder know how to insert the control into a form. Here is an
example:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources-packaged/xbl/orbeon/attachment/attachment.xbl

As to how to create XBL components, we have a guide here:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xbl-components-guide

It's not complete but it's a start, and you can look at existing XBL
components for further inspiration.

Note that we have made some improvements to XBL components in the
upcoming 4.0, which make it easier to do some common operations.
