[PythonCE] VensterCE

[Alexandre Delattre]

I have started a port of Venster for PythonCE, This port lacks maturity by now, but i have managed to run some test applications using common controls, custom dialogs and gdi graphics on my win mobile 5 device (Acer n311). What is done : Working versions of windows.py, wtl.py, wtl_core.py, comctl.py, dialog.py and gdi.py I have written convenience functions for handling Software Input Panel, Fullscreen Dialogs and Context Menus What does not work : All modules using ctypes.comtypes (atl and html modules) . Original venster test apps need to be tweaked to run correctly. Common dialogs (Open, Save, Choose Font, ...). I have managed to make native menus on win mobile 5, but it did not work on pocket pc 2003  (Dell Axim), however an empty menubar works on both. I use PythonCE 2.4.3, ctypes-0.9.9.6 and the "Force Hi-Res" utility. I have launched a project at sourceforge (vensterce) and i will upload my alpha version as soon as the project is accepted. PythonCE users will be welcomed to test it, use it, modify it and make suggestions. When the port will be more mature, it would be interesting to write a more "pythonic" wrapper on it, or something compatible with wxWidgets for portability. Alexandre Delattre
