This request bring up all kinds of feelings within me. First I HATE the fact that we do anything to accommodate the different platforms. This violates the cross platforms promise. But we live in the real world and it is imperfect. So we need to do something. In the past I have noticed that what was provided for one platform has been provided for all the platforms. IOW if some Class, method or function required platform specific code it was made functional for all platforms or it was not included in Dabo. For example there is no wrapper for the native printer dialog. I think the reason is there is no cross platform way making it work (just my guess). Therefore, the use of a native printer dialog is left to the developer to code (wx.PrintDialog does not work on Linux). So my first question is have you attempted to find a cross platform way of providing MDI windows? Will your solution work with CD? -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ 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/[email protected]
