RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Issues, remaining

[Pascal <pb...@oi...>]

I agree on the tutors and reference not being uptodate.. the tutorial is
something I can easily fix (and might do this weekend, if I find the time)
but the dev-reference is something almost everyone on this list can do..
just take out that which is Dynacore specific (i.e.: not found in DynAPI)
and  copy and paste all that is under DynObject to the DynLayer and
DynDocument objects.

I just feel its a sad thing that there are so many people on this list, alot
of which are "complaining" about bugs not being fixed, not much
documentation being available, and those people fail to contribute anything
as simple as copy-and-pasting text.

anyway, for a few widget examples look at the widgets with the dynacore
release, they use the precreate event (very basic stuff actually..just
replace the old oncreate  with onprecreate, and make the listener not part
of the prototype but part of the constructor)

Please don't take this mail as an attack or anything (definetly not personal
to you Raymond), but everyone, please don't be shy to contribute anything..
it's opensource, and we all had to learn (and are still learning) this
"thing" at one point.  Stuff like widget creation is such a simple task you
only need the idea (see any GUI for ideas) and basic knowledge of
DynAPI/javascript (see tutorials).

cya (and have fun :),
