Hi Arne,

It's not clear from description below what does it means...

all other infos seems ok to me except maybe the central reason for 
having such component: it would be nice to explicitely state what this 
component would provide besides what is already provided by the wxSizers 
and wxAUI framework...

Hello,

Thx for feedback. Of course I want to make it clear to visitors what the
component is about. There is some new thinking in it, so its maybe not
so easy to get the message straight through.

>> name: RlLayout
>a question: why the "rl" in front of the name?

Rl stands for Recursive Layout, and describes the algorithmic approach,
without using very specialized code to represent 'panes', 'captions',
'edges'
and other layout components. It is more based on rules.

>all other infos seems ok to me except maybe the central reason for

Essentially, wxSizer & friends cannot paint themselves (and are invisible to

the user). wxRlLayout let them draw themselves (and do some simple
messaging) so they can represent edges, captions, buttons without the
overhead of a wxWindow for each part.

wxAui assumes a layout with a central document area and builds around
that. It does not work so well for layouts that have two (or more) parallel
main areas (think of Eclipse IDE or old Norton Commander).

RlLayout can also be used on dialogs or panels, so that elements can be
visually moved, resized and dragged. Since dialogs in general don't have
a central document area wxAui does not do such layouts.

RlLayout solves a more general layout problem and can therefore be
applied also in the dialog case.

Does it make sense?

ok but then I'd call it "wxRLayout" or "wxRecursiveLayout", not 
"rllayout" as expanded it becomes "recursive layout layout"... (the 'wx' 
prefix is not indispensable - choose what you prefer: use it or not use 
it)....

yes, it does! And seems very cool indeed!

Now it's much clearer what it is and why it does not duplicate 
wxSizer/wxAUI systems.

I'll setup the component as soon as we fix the name.

OK, I think we could settle for wxRL which expands to wxRecursiveLayout.
I'll see if it means renamining some source files.

I'll see if I can tweak the description a bit.

ok, I've changed the name to wxRL (that's not definitive thought: you 
can still change at your will later - possibly before the first release 
however) and the folder of the component to "rlayout" (in the SVN).

The component has now been approved. Please use the Maintainer's Guide 
from wxCode website to learn how to setup your dev environment and 
perform all needed tasks.

For any problem, drop a mail on this mailing list.

Hi,

I can't get SVN to work with wxCode. I follow instructions at:

  http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/maintguide.php#svn

This is what I get in the shell:

root# svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxcode/trunk/wxCode
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svnroot/wxcode/trunk/wxCode'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svnroot/wxcode/trunk/wxCode': Could not resolve hostname
`svn.sourceforge.net': No address associated with hostname (
https://svn.sourceforge.net)

What could be the problem?

atch! Sorry. Recently SF updated the SVN access method requiring to use 
"wxcode.svn.sourceforge.net" instead of "svn.sourceforge.net". Thus try 
with:

svn co https://wxcode.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxcode/trunk/wxCode

I've updated the docs online.

[Arne S. <ast...@gm...>]

Hello,

Now everything is set up for the component, the only glitch at this moment
seems to be the webiste link on the wxCode page. probably a typo by me in
the website/PHP file.

Should I make an announcements in some way?

now it works. I've committed a fix to your's index.php which contained a 
component name which didn't match with the name in the wxCode DB...

don't worry

> Should I make an announcements in some way?
Sure!

Feel free to:

  1) post a news in wxCode website
  2) send a "ANN: wxRecursiveLayout" message to wx-users
  3) post a message in wxForum
  etc etc

Typically for these announcements I copy&paste the contents of the 
Readme.txt file...

Francesco

Ok, a couple of announcements posted. I can't seem to find where to add a
news
item on the wxCode site. Pointer?
