[vwnc] [7.6] RB question

Hi list,
           I'm slowly migrating from 7.4.1 to 7.6. Thanks to Travis
advice I managed to get the Definition tab to be shown always in the
RB. Now I would like the order of the tabs to be fixed (in particular
I would like the Definition tab to be always the first from left to
right). Is there any place where I can set that?

--
Thanks in advance,
                             Andrés

Just add the following override,

BrowserCommentTool>>isDefaultSelectionCandidate
 
 ^false.

Thanks for the quick response Boris! This makes browsing much
pleasant. However, I still would like to give tabs a fixed order, so
that I can see something like | Definition | Source | ... every time
they are available.
Is there a way of writing down this order?

Thanks!
Andrés

Andres,

I will have to do the same migration too.  Would you mind publishing a
package in the public store repository with your changes?

Thanks,
Andres.

As soon as I find out how to de it, of course :). I'm just building a
package of liitle tweaks, when it is done I'll let you know.

Cheers,

I'm not clear on what you're looking for I guess. The tabs ARE  
ordered. See the class side methods of CodeModel in the "tool  
registration" method category. Each method returns a tool class. Each  
method is tagged with something like:

<tool: 900>

The number there is what they are sorted by. Anything with just a  
<tool> is placed after those. Or rather, <tool> is treated as <tool:  
infinity>. This latter set is sorted by selector.

But maybe you're asking for something different?

Here's further explanation... when the navigator (top half of the  
browser) "changes", the tools are reviewed, and those that are  
"active" for the current selection, are shown with tabs (those that  
aren't active are not given a tab). IF the selected tool/tab is still  
active, it reminds the selected tool/tab. However, if the active tool,  
became inactive and therefore no longer has a tool, it will show the  
first tab in the list with the exception that tools that respond with  
a false to isDefaultSelectionCandidate or filtered out. This was done  
so that an empty comment tool, could pass up being the default, and  
cede selection to the definition tab.

As long as I'm rambling about all of this... yes I recognize that the  
higher prevalence of the comment is disconcerting at times (maybe  
always). I personally like it. It makes me write better class  
comments. I maintain that there is some value in it. But recognize we  
need a better solution. Something that integrates these pieces of  
information, and uses a more structured display for class definition  
is where I'm leaning.

I don't have a problem with comment being first EXCEPT that in many cases it is VERY slow.
For that reason I changed it to be second for us.

I WOULD prefer it be first if it was instantaneous -- not sure it really needs all the stuff it
generates, just a simple "No comment here" kind of message -- and perhaps a button to
create the other.

Just my personal ....

Indeed agreed. AND, it should probably kick back to the definition tab  
in the case of an empty comment anyway. And the overall better  
solution as well of course is really a better tab for both of these  
two pieces of information.

Hmm... do I understand this correctly?

If I want to define my favorite tab sequence, I have to adjust the
values in the <tool:> pragma?

Which is kept in a method actually doing something essential?

How would I do this programmatically, like in a non-interactive load
script?

Curious,

Hi Stefan,

i think if you override the one method that collects all these values
and sorts the tools, that should probably be the best place to add a change.

Kind Regards

That would nicely solve the problem at hand, thanks.

But the underlying pragma-related issue still remains:

The <tool:> pragma is used for cosmetics, yet it is embedded in an
artifact implementing functionality.

I can't change the former without touching the latter.

Or can I?

Still curious,
s.

Well, if there is a comment, then maybe it could appear
beneath the class definition on the same tab(maybe a
horizontally split pane)

If there is no comment there would not be much point to it.

Andrés,
             I'm sending attached the tweaks I made for the
environment (I don't think is worth publishing in the repository since
I guess is rather personal styles). So far the idea is that:

- Always show the definition tab, except when a method is selected in
the methods list.
- Definition tab is almost always the first from left to right.
- Definition tab is the default selected tool, except when the source
code tab is available.
- CanvasViewer tab is placed after the source of the method.

and, completely extra from the tab stuff:

- Changed the windows spec of the repository manager, so that long
names are completely seen.

Cheers,
              Andrés

.pst files are considered dangerous by Outlook, for example, I can also see other email clients/servers stripping them out.

Outlook blocks .pst files: a .pst file is a whole mailbox in Outlook.
.pst was first used by Outlook in 1997. Parcels were added in VW 2.5 in 1995, but at that point their source files were still .st; they became .pst in VW 3.0 in 1998.

Outlook also blocks .ws files: a .ws file is a Windows Script File.
.ws was added to Windows in 1999, and to VW sometime between 1999 and 2001.

In both cases VW was thus a bit unlucky, in that they probably chose the extension internally before Microsoft had released a program that used it. It's further bad luck that the extensions are not only already spoken for, but also of potentially dangerous files and hence blocked by Outlook (and I imagine by other email clients, at least for .ws).

Unless you enable the special registry setting Outlook will
block *.pst file.
