Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Making progress on a Java gui tool
> Just wanted to let you guys know I'm taking on the task of getting a basic
foundation laid down for a DynAPI authoring tool in Java. I'm not a
professional Java programmer but capable of getting a good start to the app.
Hopefully after I get the initial code working, others can pick away at my
code and get it set up for more functionality to be added. As well to see
if this is something worthwhile putting more effort into.
Be Sure to comment and document your code thorughly..
That's the one thing that REALLY bugs me about working with the DynAPI - the
lack of internal documentation (comments)

didn't like how Dreamwaver did it and sure I can come up with something more
suitable for this app. It should >be quite easy to add support for adding
image and text support (althought I don't know how to add wrapping text
using the 2D API).
get the font width (not sure how)
myRect.width / FontWidth = NumberOfCharsWide
so let's say the above returned 15 then we insert a '\n' after each 15
chars...
This will simulate wrapping text..
(I hope)

this point it's been going very quickly. I could probably get something out
the door in a day or 2, I'll be away for all next week so I want to have
something that others can look at and play with before then.
