swingwt-developers — Developers mailling list

[Swingwt-developers] swingwt.awt.dnd

[Tomer B. <tom...@za...>]

i'll start working on the dnd package, unless you think there's 
something more urgent(?)
and one more thing - dont you think we should work directly on the CVS 
tree, instead of passing the code around in the list? i wanted to do it 
before, but i've noticed i'm still not registered as a SwingWT's 
developer....

Nice job! Just a couple of points:

1. Don't copy/paste the "real" Swing javadoc comments - we don't want
   legal hot water from Sun, so it has to be ground up :)

2. You didn't merge the interfaces/etc. into the 3 necessary components
   - JRadioButton, JCheckBox and JButton. I don't blame you however
     since the hierarchy was wrong and they weren't all descending
   AbstractButton and implementing the ButtonModel interface (neither
   were the event models quite right).

Anyway - nice work! Thank you very much :-)

I've merged in your code, corrected the AbstractButton hierarchy,
implemented the correct interfaces and put the ChangeEvent code in, so
that should be it complete (code attached). I haven't properly tested it
yet, but it seems ok.

4. swingwtx.swing.event.ChangeListener.java - Defines an object which

tell me what you think. (its my first submition, so take it easy on me...)

Good plan - I have some ideas on JFileChooser we can discuss later. You
take ButtonGroup and I'll take JTableHeader (I need it for one of my apps
anyway).

[Tomer B. <tom...@za...>]

i'm starting to work on that class.

regrading JFileChooser, maybe we should finish the "easier" stuff, and 
after we'll finish them, we can arange some kind of developers meeting 
(maybe IRC) and i'm sure we'll find a solution for the harder components.

[Swingwt-developers] Job List

[Robin_Rawson-Tetley <ro...@ra...>]

Hi,

Current outstanding jobs:

swingwtx.swing.ButtonGroup
swingwtx.swing.table.JTableHeader

Lower priority:

Drag and Drop (swingwt.awt.dnd)
Printing (swingwt.awt.print)
Java2D (swingwt.awt.geom)


Do you fancy taking on ButtonGroup, Tomer? Sorry about treading on your
toes with the Filechooser thing - I started playing about with ideas
after we'd spoken and that was what I came up with. I have some other
ideas in that line that can be implemented later (to make FileFilter
workable).

As usual, latest code cut attached - few fixes and improvements. This
one also has the Expansion/Selection stuff for Trees with TreePath
support.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: [Swingwt-developers] SWT and SwingWT

[Robin_Rawson-Tetley <ro...@ra...>]

I checked the list and there indeed a few lurkers :)

I also just got a nice submission of code from a bloke called Sachin using 
SwingWT and he needed some of the TreeEvents implementing, so he wrote it
and sent the code to me (I like that kind of email!).

As for JFileChooser, I looked at it and came to the same conclusion -
the SWT ones are Dialogs (as native platform APIs tend to be, rather
than embeddable components like Swing).

I've sketched out a rough JFileChooser and JColorChooser to show limited 
support can be done, but accessories (and FileFilter) can't be handled - 
thought it might give you a useful starting point. 

Basically, if we want full Swing support for them, we're going to have 
to implement them from scratch (not impossible, but not fun). Anyway, 
take a look at the attached code (I've included it in the demo so you can 
call a Color and File chooser from the menu) and let me know what you 
think - it might be that it's enough for people to use. It doesn't have
to be 100% compatible after all - just enough that it's only a tweak and
minor code changes to get the job done.

Anyway, let me know what you think,

Rob

[Swingwt-developers] SWT and SwingWT

[Tomer B. <tom...@za...>]

I'm working on the JFileChooser implementaion (trying to anyway...), but 
i'm not sure i'm doing this right:
i want to use SWT's class FileChooser to give me the basic component to 
start with. is this the way i should do it?
maybe the lack of experience that i have with SWT makes it real hard for 
me to understand how should i use SWT's classes, but looking at some 
code that robin did already (like the JComboBox), makes me think that 
there are a few components (like *Chooser) that are almost impossible to 
implement using SWT.
i would like to hear your opinions about this issue, specially yours, 
rubin, since you are the main (only?) developer of SwingWT. oh, and 
maybe because i think that we're the only ones using this list... ;-)

[Swingwt-developers] JFileChooser and JColorChooser

[Robin_Rawson-Tetley <ro...@ra...>]

Ok, I took a look at the SWT implementations and we have a problem -
panel decorations can't be supported easily as the SWT platform dialogs
are not embeddable. Basically, I think we should include a skeleton of
the method so it doesn't break anyone's code, but the decoration they
set just doesn't appear.

We should return to this, but in the meantime, it's probably best to
implement the static dialog methods and properties - they map pretty
easily to the SWT stuff that is there and for anyone who wants to just
pop up a box to open/save a file, it should work just fine (the only
remotely tricky part is filter mapping, which is basic text
manipulation)

[Swingwt-developers] Latest code cut

[Robin_Rawson-Tetley <ro...@ra...>]

Hi,

Latest code cut attached - this adds support for:

KeyboardFocusManager/FocusManager support
JComboBox/JList object management (instead of just strings)
Much improved JInternalFrame/JDesktopPane support (with demo)
Correct firing of Popup menus and appropriate events
Proper window decoration support for JWindow/JDialog
SwingUtilities thread management
ItemEvent mappings for selectable components
WindowEvent correctly done (now part of demo)
Fixed AWT event adapters
Full JTabbedPane support

Just unpack the tar in the SwingWT directory created by the downloadable
release to put the new source files on (use the ant script to build)

Could you guys have a look and let me know what you think? Made any
progress with JFileChooser, Tomer? I might take a look at JColorChooser
at some point.

Cheers,

Rob
