As I've probably repeated too often, I'm still hacking away making Ruby
useful on my Agenda VR3 PDA.
Now that I've seen that Ruby-FLTK has gotten quite usable, I've started
thinking more about generating an "Agenda-Ruby" extension, catering to
some of the Agenda VR3 specific needs. However, I'm not sure what is the
best way to approach this.
Some of the things that I'm planning to try:
- provide alternative version of FLTK filechooser, since the standard
FLTK version is way too big for LCD screen. (preferably redefining the
Fltk.file_chooser, to increase Ruby script portability)
- Wrap some parts of FLEK that are very useful on the Agenda (esp. the
Calendar object)
- Wrap FLPDA, a small FLTK-FLEK factory/extension that provides a
consistent look with other Agenda native apps
As you'll notice, these things are all very dependant and inter-linked
with Ruby-FLTK and FLTK. One idea, is to add my extension "after"
Ruby-FLTK in extinit.c, and redefine the FLTK methods in question.
Hints, tips, suggestions and ideas are very welcome.
