That's cool.

There's a pretty sane system for recieving events from the picogui server and other apps. You'd only have to use select() yourself when dealing with non-picogui applications, devices, or anything you'd wait on a file descriptor for. This is entirely an artifact of the client library, so expect cli_c2 to have something better when it ever gets written. There's also cli_python, which is really cool. > > Are there any bigger applications done with PGUI? Some, where I could have > a look at the source? Most of the PicoGUI apps are in CVS... I doubt there are any really big apps for it yet, because the textbox widget is IMHO a pretty big limitation. > > -- > A happy Martin Doering > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber Inc. > Don't miss the IM event of the season | Special offer for OSDN members! > JabConf 2002, Aug. 20-22, Keystone, CO http://www.jabberconf.com/osdn > _______________________________________________ > Pgui-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel -- Only you can prevent creeping featurism! ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
