Hi All, There is a plan to make elm_viewedit widget. The concept of this widget is shifting between light weight viewable widget to heavy weight editor widget basically for performance optimization. If a screen has to be launched with multiple heavy weight editing widgets [ like elm_entry, elm_slider, elm_colorselector etc:] it may slow down launching time. Instead launch a screen with viewer widgets [ TEXT parts, elm_label etc:- ] and only when these widgets are focused replace them with editor widget and when unfocused replace them back with viewer widget. This will help reduce launching time of an application. and also there is no need to create multiple editor widgets. Single editor widget can be reused [singleton]. for e.g.: same entry widget can be reused throughout the screen or app. For e.g.: if 10 entry widgets are required per screen, only one widget can be created instead of 10 and reused throughout based on which viewer is focused.
This widget will be based on class concept, a viewer class and an editor class. Application will need to implement the interfaces like viewer/editor get, data get and data set so that any widget can be used as viewer/editor. Default viewer/editor classes also can be provided which application can use for common set of widgets. these default classes will reduce alot of application code. For eg: Viewer : TEXT Editor: slider [ to select a range of values once selected use the selected value and update text part] Viewer: TEXTBLOCK/LABEL Editor: elm_entry [ user edits the text and once editing is complete label widget is updated with current edited text ] Viewer: Color Retangle Editor: Elm_colorselector [ select color once done update the color rectangle with selected color ] Viewer widgets can be small occupy less space where as editor widgets can be large, using this concept even screen space can be optimized. Please let us know your opinion regarding this widget concept and design.

In this patch edje objects used for button functionality are replaced by button widgets. and button widget's clicked event and repeated event is used instead of edje object's mouse down event and timers[for auto repeat functionality]. theme hook is also modified to make color selector fully themeable. ? "Change Description" Elm_colorselector: 1. Color change on clicked instead of mouse down. 2. Edje objects (left/right button) are replaced by button objects. ?
