Q: CardContainer in View Composer

I have tried to create a dialog box with a CardContainer. I was not able to
find a resource for it in the View Composer's Resource Browser.
All I was able to do, was to drop a GroupBox and mutated it into a
CardContainer via the "Mutate View" context menu entry.
I guess that this is not the proposed way to create a CardContainer.
So what am I missing?

Best regards,
Andreas

Unfortunately the resource browser in the view composer is not very friendly
if you don't know how the view you want to insert is implemented.  I would
really like to see this improved in future versions.  I think it needs some
classification to help people find the kind of resource they are looking for
and to make common resources faster to get at.  Also, I suspect that few
people frequently need to add a ShellView or DialogView to an existing
ShellView or DialogView. ;)  I think it could use some filtering.  If OA
does not have enhancement plans for this area I may be tempted to develop a
goodie.

OA: What are the plans here?

We do have plans to improve the Resource Browser in the near future. I quite
agree; the existing interface borders on the atrocious!
