I've made it easier for parcels to add Items to collections by
refactoring NewEvent to become NewItemEvent. I've updated the
certificate parcel and Chandler's menus that create new Items to take
advantage of it.
Here's a more detailed description of the new event taken from the code:
NewItemEvent creates a new Item, adds it to a collection (as an
attribute of the event) and displays it properly.
If the NewItemEvent implements the onNewItem method it will be called to
create the item. This is handy if you want to use a dialog to get some
information to create the item. If onNewItem returns None, no Item will
be created.
If you don't implement onNewItem an Item of kindParamter (as an
attribute of the event) Kind is created. If kindParamter is None, a Kind
matching the ApplicationBar is created, e.g. if you're in Calendar View
you'll get a Calendar Item. If you're in All you'll get a Note.
The view in the sidebar is switched to match the kind, e.g. if you
create a CalendarItem, you'll switch to the calendar view. If there
isn't a kind specific view, you'll switch to All view. Finally, the Item
is selected in the SummaryView and displayed in the detail view.
If the collection is None or it's not a UserCollection, the Item will be
added to the all collection.
If you specify a collectionAddEvent (as an attribute of the event) and
your collection is not in the Sidebar, the collectionAddEvent will be
used to add thecollection to the sidebar. The collectionAddEvent is
typically an AddToSidebarEvent .
