Hi, I'm working on a new dialog layout engine for OpenOffice. It is now past the proof of concept stage. As a working example we have converted two simple dialogs: zoom and word count.
The idea is to replace existing dialogs with a minimum of client code changes (we only need to include some header files). The dialog's .SRC description is converted to a new .XML description that the new layout engine uses. The layout module contains a tool, src2xml, to help the conversion. For some screenshots and more details you may see my blog http://lilypond.org/blog/janneke/index.html . There has also been some discussion and quite some interest on the dev.openoffice.org mailing list. The layout module is currently being maintained outside of OOo in a GIT repository, and included in the default ooo-build as a set of patches. I think the time has come to start putting this in a CWS, so that other people can start looking at (and working with) this code. Best is probably a new top level module called `layout' in the `gsl' project. Can you help me to get that created?
