Great, Donald! Here's my idea of how I'd like to make the dialog more extensible. I'd change the main area to be a list of expandable areas (using FormLayout?). The default mode would be to show sections equivalent to what XVIewer has today (improved for end-user friendliness). An alternate constructor or methods would be added to allow the programmer to specify which sections should be shown and to add their own sections.
Here's a mockup of what I'm thinking: http://christophermerrill.net/temp/XViewerDialog.png Chris On 11/29/2010 11:06 AM, Dunne, Donald G wrote: > As long as the original features/capabilities are somewhat maintained, we > would like to > incorporate any changes back into XViewer.
