Re: [Dynapi-Dev] CVS updated

[Richard :o <ma...@ri...>]

Ok, i tried the latest snapshot with your two altered files from the cvs,
it's basically ok, but:
* Buttons are ok now regarding text/events, but if you double-click a
text-button it selects bits of the  caption, so it needs a cover layer after
all.
* The list widget still doesn't mouse-over
* Mouse-over doesn't seem to occur for a layer with image.

I'm afraid it seems this whole precreation thing has somewhat passed me by,
probably it happened when I was offline over Christmas, so I'll check the
archives for relevant info. What I don't understand though is why Pascal
keeps saying that his widgets will be obsolete under the new DynAPI, while
they all work perfectly alright under the latest snapshot, with latest
events + dynlayer files. Is it a question of not working ok under DOM maybe?
The only widget I could not get working without altering was you're
scrollbar, which gives out of stack error in scrollbar.js, line 137 which is
a setSize(w,null) call.

* Now browser.js has to be included in your page before dynlayer.js or error
"is undefined dynlayer.js line 265", this was not the case a while ago. I
guess that's due to the precreation changes.

Keep up the war,
