Would you like to implement a docking environment with user definable panels like MSEide ('View'-'Panels'-'New Panel')? For that purpose there is a controller component "tdockpanelformcontroller" from tab 'Widgets'. Examples are here: https://gitorious.org/mseuniverse/mseuniverse/source/samples/forms A more complex real application is MSEgit: https://gitorious.org/mseuniverse/mseuniverse/source/tools/msegit > - Frame-face and skincontroller (for skinnable applications). There is a little bit info in the Wiki: http://wiki.freepascal.org/MSEide_&_MSEgui#Architecture_overview An example of a skinned "ttabwidget": https://gitorious.org/mseuniverse/mseuniverse/source/samples/widgets/tabwidgetskin The principle: - twidget.frame and twidget.face have properties which define the look. - tframe and tface have a property "template" which connects a "tfamecomp" respectively "tfacecomp" (tab 'Gui'). They provide the default values. The default values can be overridden by settings in the individual "tframe" and "tface". The flags in "localprops" properties mark the properties with custom values. - In order to skin a whole application there is "tskincontroller" (tab 'Gui'). There the default look of the widgets can be defined. > - What are ifi components for? They are data endpoints in order to connect GUI and "business logic" which normally are located in data modules. If MSEide is compiled with -dmse_with_ifirem there are additional components which can connect ifi server and clients by pipes and sockets (experimental). > - ...? > Feel free to ask here on the list. It would be nice if you would amend the Wiki afterwards. ;-) Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
