I am finally getting around to implementing a feature I have wanted for
a while.
This message has two parts.
1) is the question, how do I go about getting SVN write access, and what
is the development process.
2) Here is what I am trying to do, and my approach for review
Feature:
When you double click on an item (task) in the treeview, I would like
the viewer to automatically open to the field that you clicked on.
For instance, If I click on the categories column, I want the viewer to
open to the category tab. If I click on the "Start Date" column, I
would like the "Dates" tab to show and the "Start Date" column to have
focus.
Approach:
It is not hard to get the column that is clicked on from a treectrl,
the column number can be transfered to a "field" that the viewer will
know about. (I have not figured out the mapping, but I suggest it be
stored in the treectrl somehow)
I specifically want to add a kwarg to that viewers should process called
"openOnField". If the viewer doesn't process it, there is no harm.
Then the task viewer can use "openOnField" to set the correct tab and
set focus to the correct field. I can add support for other viewers if
there is a desire.
To do this, I need to be able to pass all this information through the
command notification process.
Step one is to process the kwargs at the taskviewer
Step two is to allow kwargs to pass into the TaskViewer.editItemDialog
method. Below is the current editItemDialog function
def editItemDialog(self, *args, **kwargs):
return dialog.editor.TaskEditor(wx.GetTopLevelParent(self),
command.EditTaskCommand(self.list, self.curselection()),
self.list, self.uiCommands, self.settings, self.categories,
bitmap=kwargs['bitmap'])
I was just wondering if there is a reason that kwargs other than
'bitmap' are not being passed through, and if specific kwargs should be
filtered. I don't believe it matters. I was thinking about just
passing through all kwargs.
TaskEdit (uicommand.py) will also need to be modified to pass the field
through.
-------------------------------
If someone can help me figure out a generic way to turn a column in the
task tree view into a "field" string that the task editor dialog can
Is there already a concept of "field" from the XML that can be used by
the viewer to set the active tab&control?
When I last looked (last January) I could not figure out a clean way to
get all this information. If I recall, the column names in the task
tree view were not derived from the same data that showed the labels on
the TaskEditor dialog.
I am sure I will have other questions, but thats it for now.
