Not quite so. :-) I'm the leader of the framework project and here @Sun also responsible for the Writer. But of course I'm very interested in API also. :-) Anyway, of course we would help with any interface related questions. And I'm sure that Jürgen Schmidt as the leader of the API project and the developer who created our marvellous code creator will assist in getting the implementation done as easy as possible. > This task contains: > - you have to define the interface/service A good start for the interface would be to think about the input and output parameters of the printer dialog and how they can be represented most easily and as type safe as possible. We can collect information here on the list if you want. As an example, a printer dialog should have methods to return all the parameters you can enter in various places, e.g. by declaring some attributes representing them. If you want, you can start by just doing this for the MacOSX dialog, we can add what we need for other platforms. So what goes into the dialog, what must be available to the caller in return? > - the calls to PrintDialog methods should be replaced with the calls to the > new service Well, this will be quite some work. But I wrote something about this already in my last mail. > - remake PrintDialog to be an implementation of the service I assume that means: implement the new API using the old code. > - make your own MacOSX implementation That should be the easiest part. :-) Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer - OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead Please reply to the list only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spam sink. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
