What do you think about writing out a summer-of-code slot this year
for enhancing VCL.
VCL itself is a great toolkit and I guess because of
not-existing-manpower it will be used for another couple of years, but
I think it lacks some features of modern toolkits.
Ah, a diplomat :-)
Some areas which could be improved:
- Performance. Sometimes slow, sometimes bad feeling. E.g. menus in
OpenOffice, Support for doublebuffering
Both valid. The menu thing may extend to framework, though.
- Layout Managers. Implement Layout-Managers (already existing?) and
adopt important dialogs to use them.
A long term wish of mine. There even were two attempts at writing
Layouting code, one by mmeeks, one by cmc. Both had already progressed
to a demo dialog. However there was no resolution about which way to go
finally.
- I am not a VCL experts but maybe there are additional things to be done?
Doing the above things could easily fill a summer :-)
As pavel mentioned we should continue any discussion about this in [EMAIL

Kind regards, pl
