------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 1 04:01:40 -0700 2005 ------- Currently, certain form layer implementations related to UNO controls, and how they are organized and maintained, use old, complex, hard-to-understand, error-prone, hard-to-maintain mechanisms which kind of bypass the drawing layer in certain situations. We should migrate those implementations to the new mechanisms provided by the drawing layer, namely the View/ObjectContact model. Advantages of this change would include: - decreased complexity, thus easier maintainability - form layer 'tricks' in PaintViews currently break the derive mechanism and thus prevent clean designs - form objects could be painted on virtual devices by default, enabling them to be be printed as they appear on screen - painting on virtual devices would enable removing additional drawing layer code which does exceptional handling for form objects - removing those exceptions is a necessary step to allow all applications to use a pre-rendered drawing layer output (no blinking) - currently existing repaint failures in the form layer which are hard to fix within the old architecture could be addressed - using the new architecture would create a base for placing form controls in Writer's headers and footers, which is a feature required for Microsoft Interoperability - Changing the implementations is a necessary step for other projects, such as moving (part of) the form layer runtime into a separate library, and accessing it as UNO service only. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
