Ok, so I've re-implemented a small number of static dialogs, and that works. But what about the dynamic dialogs? There are a number of dialogs that have varying number of controls, for instance the mixer window http://www.jazzware.com/docs/html/jazz35.html#mixer How should these be made now? - build them with code like previously - some kind of xml resource aproach. The later aproach could maybe be achieved with 2 resources, one for the dialog, and one used as a template for dynamic addition to the parent dialog. Ideas? /Joakim |

That's a cool idea. I'm implementing something right now, I think it
will work out well. I don't have time to finish it tonight, but I'll
describe the basic idea.
I've created a new class called jppResourcePanel. You construct it by
passing it a name and it will load the named panel from one of the
same files you did a jppResourceDialog::LoadResource() on.
Once you have the panel, there's a method that's used to add it to an
existing dialog, namely to a sizer within the dialog. It would work
something like this, minus the pythonish for loop:
jppResourceDialog dialog("myDialog", parentWin);
for x in ["one", "two", "three"] {
jppResoucePanel panel("myPanel");
wxLabel *label = (wxLabel *) panel.FindWindowByName("myLabel");
if(!label) cout << "You crazy!";
label.SetText(x);
dialog.AddToSizer("mySizer", panel);
}
I haven't though through the memory management yet, so that may be
something like panel = new jppResourcePanel("myPanel"). In any case,
it's nearly as simple. Does that look good? Are there improvements
to be made?
Okay, time for bed.

Yes, this seems very nice!
How would the Attach function work in this case?
It would be neat if we could attach an array of values.

Is there much of an advantage to attaching an array? In the case of
my example, you could just stick the attach line in the example and
assign it to a particular array index. Are there cases where you
wouldn't loop to add the extra widgets? Or when the loop index
probably wouldn't be numeric or sequentially numeric?

I'm not shure I'm following you entirely.
The idea I had was that the loop that attaches holder variables
for one of the controllers in the panel copy we are attaching to
the parent dialog, could reside within the jppResourceDialog, rather than
within the client code.
For instance, with the mixer dialog as example, we have, say 6, volume
controllers,
and also 6 timbre controllers.
So client code could look like this:
long timbre[6];
long volume[6];
jppResourcePanel panel("mixerpanel");
jppResourceDialog dialog("mixerparent", panel, 6, parentWin);
dialog.AttachArray(timbre,"timbre");
dialog.AttachArray(timbre,"volume");
...which feels like a fairly compact description.
(It seemed to me that it was the implementation of this you were
describing below.)

I was describing my idea of the client code. Your idea of attaching
arrays is interesting, but how would you handle the case where there
are two areas within the dialog that have looped stuff added to them?
I'm not saying it's difficult... I just haven't thought about it.

Seems to me that you would do one of two things (possibly both?). You'd
create a new sizer in that area and just loop through the array adding new
elements to the sizer accordingly, or you'd put a panel or some scrollable
widget, then a sizer, and then loop the array adding new elements to the
sizer. The second option means it'll size with the dialog without forcing
the dialog to be too big, possibly bigger than the screen.
So your dialog would have this sort of tree (better set to use a fixed font
for this):
Dialog
Panel
Sizer
SOme edit gadget
Antoher edit gadget
Scrollable widget // This is the problem I'm solving here ;)
Sizer
First array element
Second array element
Yet another widget

I would say that a) this case never happens with the current jazz dialogs,
and b) if we decide to build such dialogs it can be achieved with Daves
idea.
