Megido vs Lazarus ...

[Shane Miller]

I would suggest downloading our source and getting familiar with it.  Once you are familiar with how we are implementing components with GTK you can work on a number of things:

1) Component's need to notify their children when they resize.  There should be a TList (I think) in TCONTROLS that keeps track of a components children components and therefore can be used to notify them that their parent resized.  
Once they get notified, they must resize accourding to their alignment.

2) TListView and TTreeView need coding.  Make sure that the code is placed into the correct unit and make sure you assign the correct GTK events to it.

3)  We are looking at somehow removing the GTK "stuff" from the units and placing them into a seperate file that could be called via a Windoze API call or something similiar to how Delphi actually creates it's components.  It would look like a winapi call when it was actually calling a function in a .o file  that contained gtk code......that's my idea anyway...

4) TMemo needs to be fixed.   TMemoStrings class has stuff commented out because I can't get it to work when I leave the "override"  uncommented.  I get an error on compile.  This neds to be fixed in order for the LOADFROMFILE from it's Lines property to notify the Memo when it's changed so it can reload the lines into the GTK object.


sound confusing?  Let me know if your interested in any of that.  Any othjer components that we don't currently have can also be worked on.  Go to gtk.org and see what components they have that we don't have implemented yet.

Ok here we go I am going to pass you off to Shane. Shane is working the
component library while I am off seperately working the XML parser for the
glade builder and the Flat IDE....

I am going to CC this to the lazarus list so please join the list.


Shane can you hook this dude up? Maybe he can work the component library
with you...
