Merlin

Usman Bhatti
Is it possible to provide objects instead of labels for the widgets in Merlin? I am particularly thinking about MultiCheckboxesPart so that it is provided with some objects and it shows their labels. Later, I would like to get the user selection object instead of a label.

Currently, I only know how to provide labels and once user chooses (e.g. a checkbox, i only get the selected label) and then I have to keep a dictionary to determine the corresponding selector. Ideally, we should provide an object along with a selector to get the labels/other properties to be displayed.

May be something to take up at the upcoming sprint.

regards,
Usman

As far as I know, nobody is maintaining Merlin anymore.
Actually, I would not use it. Why not using Glamour or Spec?

Agreed, but it has some nice support for creating dialogue boxes for user questions and it is still an integral part of Moose interface.

Glamour provides only higher-level interfaces, hence basic widgets such as checkboxes and radio buttons are difficult to embed. 
For Spec, I don't know if we have such a domain-specific extension for user dialogues.

After trying *very hard* getting Merling to work, I've decided to build my own wizard dialogs using Spec. Not a replacement but now I have some dialogs with previous & next buttons.
Cheers,

yes I was looking at it and this is why I propose a GSOC project

It would be good to share and see how we can build on top.

Cheers,

Hernán
