Hi John,
It is contained in a directory, so people should be able to do that
rather easily.
Indeed it is, but I did find that since I'm using Visual Studio, and the MS
compiler, it complained about the event handler shortcuts that seem to be
valid for Mono.
e.g.
button.Clicked += OnDockButtonClicked;
We had to explicitly go through the code and add event handler declarations
for each delegate.
button.Clicked += new EventHandler (OnDockButtonClicked);
So yes, it was easy, but needed some massaging for our stuff.
I think we also made these changes recently in svn to build with C# 1.1
only features. Are you using the 0.7 release?
The only docs I know of is the small file in the doc subdirectory, I
assume you saw it?
Is this in the MonoDevelop tree? Can't seem to find that anywhere.
Here is a link, it is also available from gdl in gnome cvs:
http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/MonoDevelop/Core/src/MonoDevelop.Dock/doc/README?root=monodevelop&rev=2369&view=markup
It might not get included in the released tarballs.
There are several known bugs in the C# port, most of which are listed in
the TODO file. In particular, placeholders are not implemented at all
which control
the iconification/restoring from the dockbar. You are welcome to file
bugs or send patches to fix any of these.
Okay, I wasn't aware of that, and now that I have read the TODO, I guess I
should have known. Apologies. That said, information like you just indicated
there - "placeholders ... control the iconification/restoring from the
dockbar" - would be of great value a terse design doc or some such. As the
day has progressed I've been stepping through the code repeatedly so I'm
becoming more familiar with the relationships and dynamics of the docking
code, but a basic overview would have saved me a lot of time. I will do my
best to put my own discoveries into a document unless somebody (who already
knows what I'm still to learn) beats me to it.
I had intended to add some docs after the port was complete but have not
had the chance to. The above
document has the overall description, so that combined with general Gtk#
knowledge should be helpful. I
wish there was a better story but there isn't right now. We could
probably add the stubbed API docs to svn if
someone wanted to begin filling them in.
The code works as much as it does within MonoDevelop. There are some
known bugs and unfinished parts as noted above. Reporting bugs in parts
that MonoDevelop doesn't use might help, but I honestly don't know if I
will work on it anytime soon but there is always a chance someone
else will.
John, thanks for responding to my post. Much appreciated. I understand what
you're saying about working on it. Perhaps I can be of some help next week
as I integrate the docking behaviour into our own app. By then I should be a
lot more familiar with the object model.
