I have not implemented MWF controls either, but if I were I would a have preliminary "to do" and "not to do" list something like the following:
TO DO: - Immerse myself in the MSDN doc on the controls you will implement. - Create sample apps using those controls, observing in detail how they behave. - Get very familiar with the MWF source and how other controls are implemented, such as other dialog controls and other controls that may have similar characteristics like the form and picturebox control. NOT TO DO: - Do not disassemble the MS .NET Framework classes to see how they implemented their controls. You will be very tempted to match sections of their code which the Mono team will reject. -Dan Maltes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vimal Menon Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 11:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mono-winforms-list] Willing to help Mono in developingPageSetupDialog, PrintPreviewControl and PrintPriviewDialog Dear sir/madam I am willing to contribute to Mono WinForms, i reviewed the current lineup of controls and components here http://svn.myrealbox.com/mwf/owners.html , and found that PrintPreviewControl, PrintPreviewDialog and PageSetupDialog has not been undertaken by anyone.. I will like to develop these controls and components, my preference being 1> PageSetupDialog 2> PrintPreviewControl 3> PrintPreviewDialog. I have no prior experience in developing such kind of code, all that i have developed are small softwares, but there is a passion within me that says that i can accomplish these tasks if properly guided. I request you to provide me with some guidance and entrust me with any one of the above control or component. I will put in my best for it. Expecting a positive reply from you soon, Thanks and regards, Vimal Menon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
