I can imagine a future senario like that: using designer to create a schema definition, creating tables with this schema definition, by just pressing "Create tables" button. i.e. designer uses a new function in common which create tables, indexes, etc., if a table already exist a warning message is shown and the user can choose to between leaving this table alone, or to drop it and recreate it. In this case, there is no need for that "initialdrop" attribut. right? well that's kind of the direction I was wanting however I want the common support to be smart enough to be able to do "alter tables" or give the user the option of restarting from scratch i.e., that will be vital for our packaging sledge_ (~sledge@B96e2.pppool.de) joined #gnuenterprise. hi sledge jcater: yes, we need an package format and an installer soon.

Tied to their stuff.

Ok. StyXman: it needs to go into GFInstance as you need a single controller monitoring behavior it's next to impossible to keep track of the "current" scrollbar and catch it 's GFEvents exclusively i.e., if you have all GFScrollBars listen in on the events then you have to distinguish which one should actually respond well, I thought there was a link between the uiobj and the gfobl, and that way the behaviour could go directly in the gfobj and I have some problems cause I think I'll get some circular event launching. the behaviout I want to give to the sb is to scroll the current block datasource so, when the 'cursor' of the datasource changes, the sb should change, and vice versa... siesel (jan@dial-213-168-88-137.netcologne.de) joined #gnuenterprise. hi siesel yes that's why I think you can't do it within the GFScrollbar code hi StyXman, hi all or you at least have to multiplex the request through GFInstance the GFDisplayHandler uses the multiplexing route so, there are two things you can do: 1) Have GFInstance handle it all (easiest) 2) Have GFInstance listen for the requestSCROLLBAR event and then determines which scrollbar/datasource is the current one, and directly call a method of this scrollbar which then handles the logic but you really can't have GFScrollbar listening for the events as all the Scrollbars in the form would get the event most of the forms stuff uses #1 but the GFDisplayHandler (keystrokes, et al) use #2 the only reason GFDisplayHandler is different is that each entry widget can have a different *type* of displayhandler I see in UIbutton's buttonHAndler, which is the wx's event handler for that class a call to _eventHandler instead of 'raising' a event. is this the way to go? Action: jcater imagines UIbutton isn't the place to be looking to learn stuff lemme look so, you would suggest I look into... ? action = GFEvent('fireTRIGGER',gfObject.trigger) UIbutton is using events too UIbutton._eventHandler actually points to GFUserInterface.dispatchEvent ah, and the way to 'raise' them is to call ... only because UIbutton doesn't have its own dispatchEvent search for event.eventHandler = self.dispatchEvent ahhhhh! I was browsing the code to sse, but couldn't find where eventHandler was set :) is it becoming clearer? :) so, everithin'gs _a little_ clear now...

StyXman (~mdione@modem117-adsl.capfed2.sinectis.com.ar) left irc: "ircII EPIC4-1.1.5 -- Are we there yet?" jcater: you are entirely too boring jcater: you should be full of life like siesel ooh, there's a wxWindow.SetBackgroundColour method beauty just let 'colour' (or color if you prefer) to be an optional attribute of the form chrono_ (~chrono@pD9EB33B6.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #gnuenterprise. but if you wa;nt other colours shouldhn't you use a local theme for your widget set like gtk or winders or whatever yeah, but how do you get wxp to pick up those colours? shounldn't it pick up whatever colours the native widgets are using? it should, i guess yea, backgroud color is such a critical feature but what if i want white forms for an app? ;P chillywilly: it is! uh, no ajmitch: in the case of white forms, I can see the ulitily these UI enhancements win over the stupid users & management ;) chillywilly: you think like a developer too much make it work first then make it pretty ;) can I get that in cornflower blue? nickr: i'm sure you can hey, if you can get pretty forms in access, why not GNUe? ;) I need forms to look just like paper forms my ES* wants a "background with pink flowers on green" * ask Sigi Freud like in Filemaker nickr: agreed Action: jcater runs away screaming next /me fears ppl will want semi-transparent forms ooh, that'd be nice! actually at one time we discussed being able to take a .eps file or such and having it be the 'background' for a form so you could have like a logo watermark looking backgroud? yeah, but thank god y'all sobered up yeah, how about optional pics in forms? :) jcater: i still think its a separate product Action: jcater only foresees one pic in forms and that's a goat where's the graphs ans such, I want embedded charts, etc. ;) s/ans/and/ chillywilly thats reporter dneighbo_: that'd be cool chillywilly: reporter and navigator dneighbo_: although it'd be better if it could just format the forms to look like paper err, what dneighbo_ said chillywilly: hmm, now that's an idea - how'd you do it cross-platform? nickr: college rule or wide rule? selerius anyhow i was trying to say before i got interrupted here yea, but can we embed reports in the forms? jcater: ooh, html reports in a wxHtml window within a form? ;) if i have enough people seriously needing a solution and WILLING to COMMIT to using GNUe hmmm (for the wx ui driver, that is) chillywilly: navigator? i'd be much more apt to really start digging in i would love to help out in anyway i can so, what you are saying is you could apt-get into it? I don't get what navigator does definitely i need to get rid of quick books bad chillywilly: it navigates chillywilly: navigator rocks gee thanks chillywilly: well, it just launches forms, reports etc jcater: it segfaults sometimes too and navigator has pictures :) menu type thing j/k it actually hasnt on me yet (knock on wood) screenshots on website dneighbo_: well, everyone needs a break sometimes, even navigators I saw the screenshots but forms still open in separate windows :) chillywilly: now try the app! just seemed like a tree thing ajmitch: give us time ajmitch: bite me jcater: or give you patches? yes dneighbo_: i want email1 someone was suggesting an alternative layout that's my rally call "Give me time or give me patches!!!!" Action: ajmitch would probably give patches in cases like that with the forms/reports as tabs w/in the window in the tune of Give me liberty...." psu: yeah, that's what i'm thinking or give me death ;) psu: I foresee supporting such a layout Action: psu would give time if he had any spare Action: chillywilly pleads for death patches are always welcome Action: jcater troutslaps chillywilly Action: ajmitch will look this afternoon after uni bah, I am immune to those jcater ISTR we discussed that as "skinning" Navigator ISTR? what's that fancy lingo? I need to get rid of Filemaker badly psu: yeah, at the moment you can use different UI drivers & skin it that way I seem to remember nickr: format c: /u no such luck! is anything tied specifically to the linux kernel? selerius: NO! yes nickr: eh? i do not run linux, and do not intend to....do not like it very much selerius we are entirely neutral on about everything selerius: ah, a GNU/Hurd fan then? ;) GNUe runs on GNU/Linux, ui : www, windows, mac, linux, bsd, dumb terminal, palm, telephone you name it dneighbo_: hehe, right, most people here are neutral, you mean Win 32, Solaris more BSD Unix...in particular OpenBSD...i run it on most everything Mac OS database: mysql, postgres, sapdb you name it selerius: no problem running on OpenBSD iirc everything you need is in ports rpc: xml-rpc, corba, soap good.... /msg dneighbo methinks we just found ourselves an OpenBSD tester reporting: pdf, office, open office, html oops btw. its the "Single Login" feature which makes Navigator break, so we need to use that "netrc" patch or hack up forms to create a version which can be emebeded and don't create new MAINLOOPS. donuts: glazed, cake, chocolate, cream, lemon i can test for you if you like...i runn --current...update nightly i.e. generally one gets a hand slap around here if they do non neutral things donuts: * do you need a graphical environment to test in? we do have preferences though :) os: Debian GNU/Linux i have a spare dual 333 machine, with a 10 gig SCSI array in it laying around.. db: SAP-DB (currently Postgres, but changing slowly) jcater: was that a hint for me? chillywilly? jcater: you haven't been readin thekitchensink.odl have you ;)? no I saw the commit messages, tho pizza! check out ui: wx (for now) wtf is thekitchensink.odl? class Jcater extends Goat... and example file implements donuteater for the parser well class Jcater extends Goat: CodeSlave {...}; or something Action: ajmitch wonders where the pdf, openoffice, etc stuff is for reports suppose I could make a DonutEater interface, but I think I've added enough to that file... ;) Nick change: psu -> psuZZZZ openoffice is supported via merge_rtf ah ok dneighbo: you gonna be around for a while?
