Hi Raymond,
Will you push your changes to the CVS?
Yes I will but not until we have tested the new code with Boxfix etc. For the time being you can download
Dumb question: How to test it? What kind of feedback do you need?
the copy from www.xwisdomhtml.com. It's a copy of what I've locally on my pc.
Ah - I missed the download link (searched a while again but finally found it ;)
Can I see an example of this? I just got used to the StyleManager-thing ;) But I'm very curious about the new widget design!
Sure. Download the version from my site. The problem
with StyleManager is that it's slower and will only
complicate things when you want to change the style of
complex widgets.
I see the new design. It's much simpler indeed. Integrating the mouse events is really a step forward I think. The PITA I had developing widgets with the StyleManager-Stuff was the descision where to put which code. I think this is really simpler because you only have one file, one class. Even though I liked the idea of pluggable styles which implement other behaviour (flatbutton vs button) I see the much simpler and straighter design of the new widgets. So I really, really like it. Even more if I remember the pain I had understanding the StyleManager in the first place ;)
Another question: In which way is the StyleManager slower? The problem I have here is that we developed a huge DHTML-Page with loads of widgets and I modified the dynapi quite a bit (extended the styles-stuff with a skin(theme)-manager which comes quite close to the new widget design ;) and other minor/major changes) so switching would be less fun ;) So I am curious about the problems with the Stylemanager since we have performance-problems every now and then and switching to the new design would take a while (and it will not happen until 3.0 final is out). So can you give any details or performance hints?
BTW: When the CVS is in sync again and I have the time here, I will try to convert some of my widgets (including a full featured cross-browser Richtext-Editor, ColorChooser and other neat things) to "standard"-dynapi widgets.
Last question ;) Do you have any release plan yet?
Keep up the good work!
Regards Peter
