Reposting Dom's (Patrick's) message from last week with s/uPOW/POW/ since these are developer tasks, not user tasks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 26 May 2001 15:43:41 -0400 From: Dom Lachowicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Pat Lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 2 POWs POW 1: Sorting stuff Now with the new hashtable, the combo boxes (such as the font and style boxes) are no longer alphabetically ordered. For unix, this means adding some ordering to abi/src/wp/ap/unix/ap/ap_UnixToolbar_*.cpp Should be a few lines of code POW 2: Enable/Disable splash screen preference item We have a command line argument to disable the splash screen (--nosplash) but it'd be great if there was a preference item that you could also set via the preferences dialog 1) Add a new key and default setting in src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Pref* 2) Add set/get methods in src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Dialog_Pref* 3) Add the checkbox to the platform of your choice's dialog 4) Add code in your platform's ap_*App class to get the preference as a bool. The logic here should be: if --nosplash is found on the command line or if the preference value is false, don't show the splash else show the splash screen Dom
