[Smartui-devel] Our tasks

[Hainey H. <h_h...@ho...>]

Hi all

I registered smartui.sourceforge.net to some search engines,and the first 
release of smartui has been downloaded 20 times till today :)
My core idea of this project is in SmartComponent class, it has transparent 
and father property. By the "father" property, one component can be drawn 
without being added to parent. I am working on the Chart component now, it 
uses many Label3d and SuperLabel3D variables as its member, and then draw 
these labels
in paint() method. and we needn't add each label3d component to Chart 
container, and the Chart needn't extend Container class, so that it can be 
lightweight component. Also, you can read the SuperPanel.java, it owns a 
Superlabel3D object and extends the Panel class.
Now there are many new lightweight components waiting us to be developed. 
List,Menu,Tree,Grid,ToolBar,ToolButton......I don't know how far should we 
go and how it should be because SWing already has many such components. Do 
you have some ideas on that?
I think the simplicity is important, and the function should be 
progressive(like Label3D->SuperLabel3D->SuperPanel). To develop these new 
components, I think firstly we should search the web to find existing 
components, and analyze their
functions and source files, and then try to implement a newly best 
component. Who will do the searching job first?


Regards
Hainey
