Hi All, The Context menu preview has been uploaded to Google Code: Here<http://code.google.com/p/gwave-tools/downloads/list>
Please Note a few things first: - The Black borders around the context menu is just a place holder for the actual border which will be added later - This preview is only to show you some of the basic functionality - Any of the looks may change, any suggestions can be posted here, On Google Wave or on Google Code. - The folder in the zip must stay in-tact for everything to work, the Context menu app is the one with the context menu in, Windows Application 2 is the most recent build of the custom dialog - At the moment the context menu is a control in a form which inherits my custom dialog, the real thing will look like it is expected to, it is in a form in the preview because its a preview. - NO CODE HAS BEEN PROVIDED YET: Its not finished, I am trialling some stuff and I don't want people yappin in my ear about why the code here, here and here should be done like, this or like that. when the context menu is near completion I will then upload the code for you guys to scold me about. - Once again, suggestions are welcome, the menu is not finished remember. Other than that, have fun. I am considering creating a Google Group just for this Project if enough support for the project is provided (suggestions, interested people, stuff like that) which would then be used to create discussion specifically on areas of the project, to lay it out neater.
