Which is the ugly part of the (otherwise great) change :-\
If the layout manager, and the XML based dialog format, will not come to
our code base soon (Christian??!), it might be worth thinking of another
change: replace resource IDs with strings. The advantage (besides
getting rid of those ugly .hrc files) would be that the resource
compiler could again generate auto-help-ids, e.g. from
Dialog "MyCoolDialog"
{
PushButton "Apply"
{
...
}
};
, it could generate something like
"org.openoffice.org://dialogs/<module>/MyCoolDialog" and
"org.openoffice.org://dialogs/<module>/MyCoolDialog/Apply" as help
IDs/URLs ...
Well, yes, having an XML-based resource format, where resource elemtns
have string identifiers, too, would remove the need for such a change to
the resource compiler ...
Ciao
