your crazy ! ;) ive been playing with the listview for a while and got stuck on the = ibindable interface . surely, you can use the dataset and its tables which implements this = interface but it would be cool if we can just bind to our existing types. cant wait to see ur control in action =3D) ps: props pros props , thats 3 for duncan, it would be hard to get a = look like that in windows ;) cycosick ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Jacob Slusser=20 To: irc...@li...=20 Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 8:18 PM Subject: [Ircleech-devel] UI update In my ever relentless pursuit of an awesome looking UI, I thought I = would give you an update. First let me give Duncan props for all the = work he's doing on the Mac end of things. Those screenshots look great! I've been mulling over a couple of ideas for the Windows interface and = have created a Photoshop mockup of what it might look like. It will be = finished soon and I will submit it for your review. Nothing fancy, but = it should breath a little fresh air into IrcLeech. In addition, I've been investigating replacements for the ListView = control. It had been suggested (and I agree) that the ListView is = limited, difficult to work with, and lacks the hosting of other controls = such as a ProgressBar. In addition it doesn't natively support = databinding. This is my big issue. If we had a control that supported = databinding, there would be no more copying of the IrcLeechCore data = into the control and we could simply set the control's list to the = IrcLeechCore list. It had also been suggested that the open source = SourceGrid control might be an alternative, however, my research = indicates that while it does host other controls, it does not support = databinding. As an alternative, I decided to create a custom grid control for us. = You heard me right... a completely custom grid control. I can already = hear some of you saying: "He's crazy" and "Surely there are other free = alternatives available." In both cases you are right. But, I've done = some work on a custom grid control in the past and decided that I've had = enough struggling with the others and that I was going to do my own from = the ground up... and it would be fun! I'm happy to report that since = I've began last week that things are going very well. I hope to have = something production ready in another couple of weeks that should solve = all our problems. I will keep you posted.
