[Iliad] UI package
 
|
Hi,
I started to work on a UI package for Iliad. The code is available in the svn repository in More/UI. This addon aims to be a higher abstraction layer over html to build web applications. I started it with libs like GTK+ and QT in mind. Some parts are already working (but not well tested yet): - Layouts: vertical and horizontal boxes - Trees and Tabs I have to write a bit of javascript code to make hpaned and vpaned work. I also moved widgets from More/Widgets to More/UI (the Calendar widget is still not working) Cheers!

Hmm, yes, but I'll give a look at your patch anyway ;) Cheers!

Also, I don't grok the names HorizontalPaned and VerticalPaned. A HorizontalBox is a horizontal box, but a HorizontalPaned is - a horizontal pane? - a container for something horizontally paned? > > BTW, I'm trying to figure out what other widgets would be useful in > this package. Any idea? About the only thing I could come up with today was the wish for another way to build tabs. You have Tab new labels: aCollection; widgets: aCollection I'd also like to use something like Tab new addLabel: string1 widget: widget1; addLabel: string2 widget: widget2... It puts labels and widgets next to each other and avoids the intermediate collections. How would I do the following: Assume I'd like to use tabs like a "wizard". I'd put some static explanation on the first page and then add widgets as necessary. Do I have to create a dedicated widget subclass for the static text or is there a way around this? I guess this boils down to something like Tab new addLabel: 'intro' build: [:e | e text: 'hi!' ...]; addLabel: 'step 1' widget: w1; addLabel: 'step 2' widget: w2; heh ... a Wizard widget might be nice, actually. Based on tabs, with a "next" button at the bottom and active tab switches from 1...n (assuming you've completed n-1 steps) good night, s. _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk |

Yes, I took the class names from GTK. A *Paned is a container with 2 panes. > > > > > BTW, I'm trying to figure out what other widgets would be useful in > > this package.

HorizontalPaned scrapes against my English grammar bone. It's in the same league as the HTTP header HTTP_REFERER, which got into the standard in spite of the typo (should be referrer).
