My most sincere congratulations Ed. Never mind what you cannot do. I'm sure your universe will continue to expand to cover the areas that you want to cover. You have good karma. Be well. Best regards to you and yours.

Can't get into the project too much, since * it's a * commercial app, and NDA/trade secrets come into play. * Unfortunately, * though, they've already committed to a wxPython/XRC * approach, so I * couldn't talk them into using Dabo for the UI. After * working with the * commercial tool DialogBlocks for a week or so, though, * I'm more * convinced than ever that I'm on the right path with the * Dabo Class * Designer and the eventual IDE. The tool works fine, but * the output is * XRC, and there is so much stuff that goes into making * the XRC * accessible from Python that it is a real pain to create * anything * other than simple stuff. For example, I want to create a * custom panel * class that can be re-used in several forms/wizards; this * would be * brain-dead simple in Dabo. But in DialogBlocks/XRC, it's * a real pain, * and we haven't been able to make it work yet. Oh, well, * that's their * decision. * * The other thing is that it is finally outdoor * soccer season here in * upstate NY, so I've been busy refereeing. The past two * weekends I * worked a few tournaments, too, so that's eaten up my * free time, not * to mention wearing out my ancient body. Try spending * several hours * running around with 15-19-year-olds, and you feel every * one of your * fifty years! * * But I'm still working on ideas for Dabo, especially * the IDE stuff. * I've written some down in the wiki, but others are still * just rough * visions for now. I also want to do a screencast on the * new dDockForm * stuff, just to show how simple it is to create dynamic * UIs using * these classes. But there are only so many hours... * * -- Ed Leafe * -- http://leafe.com * -- http://dabodev.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
