Hi Rick, Paul. The problem with a discrete set of widgets is that one is constricted to those widgets. There is no flexibility for the developer. With Microsoft implementations there are things that you simply can't do which I am not a fan of.
As for the SPARK project and the widgets we have created, I'm guessing from your replies that you have failed to catch the purpose of the project as whole. We are creating a way such that you may declaratively create windowing applications. If there is missing functionality, then add it yourself. If you can make a combo box better than we have, have at er. Also, what isn't there to understand about a <g/> (*g*roup) element? This is a very common construct in other applications from Microsoft Visio to Adobe Photoshop. And Paul, as for the ridiculous need for window spoofing in SVG, it's all about supply and demand. There is a demand for this sort of therefore why *not* create it? Cheers, Alastair http://spark.sourceforge.net --- In [email protected], "Rick Bullotta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Amen to that. Why the world needs another drop down combo box implementation, I'll never understand <g>. To be fair, it is because of the "disconnectedness" of things like SVG and XForms and the limited capabilities of XForms that such things are necessary. There needs to be a W3C initiative (if there isn't already) to create a convergence of these types of things conceptually similar to XAML. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:svg- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of welkerpaul > Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 4:32 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [svg-developers] Re: SVG Scrolling > > Between you and me, isn't it ridiculous to make use of svg and lots > of code spoofing windows and common controls�:=(.. > We've already seen table implementations in svg|-( > Rich, I'd take the view that you might be better off employing the > embed element's scrollbar (nice and windowless ctrl). > Regards > Paul ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
