Hi all, It's been a few weeks now, but I've finally got unc to a good stopping space and time to put out a new release. Python startup scripts have now been implemented, allowing population of the 'scrapbook' folder at startup with any arbitrarily complex object that you may wish to frequently use as method arguments, for example. Most of the time, though, has been spent on porting my system dynamics simulator to use unc as the gui framework. The app itself is fairly esoteric (although I do use it for some of the work that I do - see http://www.eccosim.org.uk if you're curious), but from the unc perspective its been a very useful first step in testing out the object-wrapping capabilities of the framework. I've added quite a bit of support now, extending the ObjectView so that reflection-derived fields and methods can be represented either as child items as before, or as properties and methods of the current item, in which case they can be manipulated in a fairly natural way within the sirius gui. Bean getter/setter methods can be presented as properties too. The simulator can be started by invoking unc with the scripts/unc/startdyn.xml file, which will launch a simple and fairly uninteresting simulation of a warehouse inventory! That's all, folks! Dave |
