It's interesting to look at how different widget systems have approached this. For starters, I'd suggest looking at:
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.0/qclipboard.html http://gtk.org/tutorial/ch-managingselections.html I think the QT example offers a slightly more fruitful starting point, since the GTK+ mechanism is wed to the X Windows system, which I believe to be unnecessarily complicated w/r/t selections. In addition to the questions of "how do we deal with data types" and "where is the data stored", I'd like to add the following to the fray: - Will drag-and-drop be incorporated into this mechanism? - What user concept of selection does PicoGUI adopt? The X-windows way of making any selected text available in a selection buffer, or the windows/mac os way of requiring explicit user cut/copy to the clipboad? -Chuck ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
