RE: [Sweet-swt-develop] Properties as Resources

[Dave O. <Da...@AS...>]

 

Dave, the addition of categories is right on the mark (re: comments in
Wiki).

Thanks!

Would it be appropriate for property values to be taggable as common
resources ? e.g. Color, Font, Image, Strings etc are often duplicated within
UI builders - because its easier to create objects on the fly than search
around for similar instances.

I don't know.  Do you have a use-case where this would be beneficial to you?
 
Scott, can you think of any use-cases?

This is kind of a fuzzy one as it borders on being more of a persistence
issue than a design time issue, although I feel it crosses the border
somewhere.
 
Thoughts ? 

Given SWT's rule that disposing the parent also disposes children, this
sounds dangerous to me--like you would be setting yourself up for disposing
things multiple times.
 
Am I right here?
