On approximately 5/14/2004 7:22 AM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Jez White:
Hi,
The current examples show new functionality that has been added over the
last few months. We should add more examples, but I'm a bit dubious of
adding examples from previous builds (they haven't been deleted - just not
added:) )
Well, when I compare what I have in my old build area (downloaded
snapshot) to what I now see via CVS, they appear to be not there. It is
not clear to me where they would then be added from, or what technique
of "not there" was used other than deletion :)
Many previous examples (even the one's that work) use none
standard coding, which just cause confusion - for me anyway:)
I certainly have no objection to samples being modified to use standard
coding, but I'm not sure what non-standard coding was used that was
confusing.
If there isn't time to update the sample to use better coding, one could
add some comments to it (no risk in adding comments) describing the
non-standard-ness of the coding, but leaving the sample for whatever
educational value it might have. ??? I learned a good bit of GUI
coding from those old samples, although I agree that I got a bit
confused by some of them, also.
Perhaps we should put a call out to the users list for ideas of what should
be included (like the scrolling bitmap example you mentioned) and for
volunteers to write them?
I certainly have no objections to this activity, I can't imagine anyone
that would. Certainly if someone contributes a concisee sample that
demonstrates some activity (and all the currently-in-CVS samples do
that, but so do some of the old ones :)), I would lobby for it to be
included in the samples directory. And if it is more than a file or 3,
proably to be included in a samples subdirectory. And once we go to
samples subdirectories, the samples wouldn't even need to be that
concise.... if they are showing a complex topic.
Cheers,
jez.

I notice that there are fewer samples than there used to be, in the
samples directory. Yet a good number of the old samples will still work
on the latest GUI. Is there some reason to delete still-working samples?
