Thread: Re: [wxCode-users] submission of TimePickerCtrl component

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I received an email back from the author of the control referenced at http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/MyTimerCtrl.  He said he was unable to locate a backup of the source code.  If it's alright with everyone here, I'd like to go ahead with my implementation.  It's functional, although somewhat primitive at the moment.  I'm actively improving it, and I hope to have a beta-quality version ready within a few weeks.

Thank you. Maybe you can get good ideas from that implementation or you
can even reuse some of the code if the other author agrees.

I completely agree with you. And wxCode is certainly a place where
people are already used to search for wxWidgets components.

Right. Of course I would prefer a version which is _maintained_.

That's one of the reasons why it's good to check those 2 other
implementations. The license scheme of the wxCode components should be
clearly defined (preferably it should follow the wxWindows (aka
wxWidgets) license scheme).

Very good. (Certainly every author is free to choose whatever license he
prefers, but it's nice to have most wxCode components under the
wxWindows license.)

As soon as I receive notice from you how to proceed in respect of the
first mentioned other implementation I'll set up your component in wxCode.

Regards,

Ulrich
