[wxCode-users] mmwx

[<gha...@gm...>]

 Hello all,

I'd like to become the maintainer of mmwx. It's a nice collection of contrls that deserves to be used. I'v already got it running 
nicely under wx2.8.10 in Code::Blocks. It suffered from changes to wx since 2.4, missing images and a range of other ailments. I 
have a few more things to do and then I intend to make a mmwx add-on for wxSmith, so that it can live again and be used from 
the GUI editor.
 Cheers,

    Gary.

Yes, SVN please. I can sort it if need be, I have a number of projects on SF already.

My first thought is that I'd like to keep the package as a whole. Options 
are nice things to have. Also, there may be dependency issues between components
e.g. the dropMonth control requires the mm calendar (mmMonthCtrl) or differences in
features between the wx version and mmwx's.
I'm not aware of a drop-down control like this in wx. A quick search failed to find one.
Which one did you have in mind?
It's not only controls, either. There are the DB and MAPI classes, as well.
I'm happy to take suggestions on these factors, though, nothing's set in stone.

I almost have the controls ready for use. I haven't looked at the DB and MAPI code,
yet. I'd like to put the controls up for comment when they're finished, whilst I work
on the others.

Thanks.

ok, moved to SVN. There is now a wxCode SVN folder for mmwx:
   http://wxcode.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxcode/trunk/wxCode/components/mmwx/

Now just one step remains: you should register in the wxCode website
and then tell me your maintainer ID (you can read it in the top-left
corner of the webpages once you log in after registration) and I'll
bind you to mmwx.

actually after better checking I see there's no exactly a drop-down
button in wx but probably it could be realized using
wxOwnerDrawnComboBox ror wxBitmapComboBox..

ok, no problem. It's just that I find "mmwx" to be really not much
informative...

I think wxOwnerDrawnComboBox with wxCB_READONLY style could
work, assuming you sub-class it and override EVT_PAINT
handling to actually draw button graphics on it.

This may not be ideal, however, since AFAIK drop-down menus
of drop-buttons tend to have menu-like appearance. It could
be better to just implement a new wxDropButton control based
on wxBitmapButton and (popup) wxMenu.

ok, the plan sounds very good. Before setting you as the maintainer of
mmwx I need however a few things:

1) your SF id name so I can add you to the wxCode project (otherwise
you won't be able to commit to the wxCode repo)
2) mmwx is currently in the CVS repo of wxCode... do you prefer to use
SVN perhaps?
3) AFAICS "mm" before "wx" in the component name stays for
"MindMatters"... maybe it would be better to change the component name
to something more informative?  It's a collection of controls AFAIK so
we could name it "mmControls" or something like that... also I see
from the screenshot contained in the CVS repo that it contains various
controls which (at least in wx2.8 and later) are part of standard wx
(mmMonthCtrl => wxCalendarCtrl, drop down buttons, hyperlink controls,
etc)... perhaps they should be removed from the wxCode component...
