Start with a very basic dashlet that communicates with the repository. Here is one example:

https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-get-latest-document/

Once you see how that works, look at other examples. There are many to choose from from the Share Extras project, see:

https://github.com/share-extras

Of course you should also dig into the Alfresco Share source. If you want to do something that Alfresco Share already does, there is no better example.

Thanks for your response jpotts.

I browse links which you gave me but I don't found my solution. I'm sorry if I missed information.
In fact I want know if there is a way to have in my dashlet the same things as the screen. I'm just interest by the blue circle (join in attachment) to reproduce a alfresco browser.

Try looking at the Saved Search dashlet. You can configure it with a search and it will always display the results in your dashlet. Maybe that is enough to meet your requirements. If it isn't, you can use it as a starting point because it already knows how to display the results, all that would be left for you is tweaking what results show up.
