I want to use a JQuery plugin that adds an emoticon pop up dialog next to a text area, to use it in a text field in a page.
I believe I have to create a custom control extending the BaseEdit or TextEdit (which one should I extend?).
How can I include the two files (.css and js) that I need to include in order to work?
I need a high level approach to start the task. Thanks.

Dear Ignacio,
Please see the articles below, there you can find the instructions on extending existing controls and how to created your custom control:

https://community.bpmonline.com/articles/how-create-custom-control-element
As for the extending the BaseEdit or TextEdit, you can choose any of them based on your needs. I would recommend to open each of them, check the functionality they are offering and decide which one would fit better considering your business task and plugin.
As for the CSS styles, please see the following thread with the instructions on creating custom styles.

Anastasia

Thank you very much for your help Anastasia.
I don't see the CSS thread you are mentioning in your answer.
Thanks again.
