Hi all, i have some doubts-ideas about evas smart objects, 1. the API in order to add an object to a smart object you have to do _member_add(o, s) and to delete _member_del(o,s). On the code of both an evas smart object actually stores the members on a list but theres no function to retrieve them, Evas_List * _members_get(s), so when you code an evas smart obejct and you need to keep track of the objects you have, you need to duplicate the list and code a different function to do that.
2. the implementation ive been playing with smart objects for evoak, so ill explain the case: my goal was to create a container, an evas objects container. the problem i see is that the evas smart objects where thought for a static environment, on the callback of a smart object add you create the static objects inside, store them on your list and when something happens (move, resize, whatever) you act accord with that and apply that to your internal objects. thats fine. but i thought the idea of the smart objects was to actually be a sub canvas of evas, so when you add an object: evas_object_add(evas) and then add it as a member of smart object it is no longer part of the evas objects but of the smart objects, so for example a layer change on that is actually a layer change inside the layers of the sub canvas, wich in fact the subcanvas is in one layer. but not in the evas canvas layers. another example is that when you move an object what is member of a smart object it should move relative to it, no relative to the evas canvas. dont know if i explain myself correctly :) so a problem with this is that if you want to move an object that is part of smart object you should call a different (own) function to calculate all the relative coordinates and move it there. so my question is, the current aproach of evas smart objects in the correct way? or my use case is just an specific and doesnt make sense to change the behaviour of the smart objects? maybe a solution could be to add callbacks for a move, resize, layer_set, whatever, but not for the smart object but for the elements of a smart object. btw, if i made a wrong assumption about smart objects please forgive me :) havent used them a lot :) bye _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
