This includes controls for - <ul> - <li> - Hyperlinks<br/> - This should be specialized text fields, which interpret their content as URL, - means they display it in a special way, their text should be clickable, and - they allow to browse for an URL.</li> - <li> - Multimedia Content<br/> - Currently, we only have image controls, which allow to interpret binary content - found in a database as image. But additionally, we should have at least a - “sound control” which allows to store sounds, and play them on - request.</li> - <li> - Unspecified Binary Content<br/> - In addition to controls dedicated to special kinds of binary data (such as - images and sounds), we should have a generic binary field, which allows to - store/load BLOBs (binary large objects) from any source. This would allow the - user to store any files in a database, without OOo interfering with this.</li> - <li> - References to Binary Content<br/> - Image as well as sound controls (if we have them) should be able to work with - URLs, instead of direct binary content. At the moment, an image control can be - bound to a binary field, and tries to interpret any data found in this field as - image stream.<br/> - We should allow for databases where only references (aka URLs) to images are - stored, and adjust the existing image control (as well as the possibly upcoming - sound control) in a way that it can be bound to a text field, interpreting the - content as URL to the real data.<br/> - </li> - </ul></p> - - <p>Except the Hyperlink control, probably all other types imply the extension of - existing implementations, instead of creating new ones. This means that this - project is not really self-contained, but requires some knowledge in the - existing implementations, or at least the will to wade to them before doing any - real work :)</p> - - <table style="text-align: left;" cellspacing="0"> - <tbody> - <tr> - <td class="effort_header" width="200px">required skills</td> - <td> - <ul> - <li>C++</li> - <li>good knowledge about UNO, OOo's component model</li> - </ul> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class="effort_header">useful skills</td> - <td> - <ul> - <li>knowledge in existing control implementation</li> - </ul> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class="effort_header">estimated effort</td> - <td>1 month for all control derivates together for an experienced developer</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class="effort_header">difficulty</td> - <td>high</td> - </tr> - </tbody> - </table> - <br/> - <hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"> + <p>The descirption of this project has been moved to + <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_To-Do/New+Enhanced_Form_Controls"; target="_blank">our + Wiki</a>.</p> <!-- =============================== --> <!-- Dialogs with Form Functionality --> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
