Llama/GTK updates
I have updated Llama/GTK again, this time I will try to keep it on my
web
site permanently. (It was because I was having trouble with ftp
uploading of
file to the geocities server, but I have switched browsers from lynx to
w3m so now I can use the Easy Upload feature instead, which seems to
work
fine, just in case your interested.)
I have updated the sample editor, the inputbox() function now works
correctly, file name is shown in the titlebar, size of window is
larger.
Also, I found this weird bug while I was trying to get the editor to
work,
it seems that qMy[self][qHandle] does not store the correct handle, so
I now use eu_gtk_widgets instead. (I dont know why the original way
of storing handles is broken, if someone can figure out why that would
be
greatly appreciated.)
(... All the silly little bugs I've had to fix, no wonder David Cuny
gave
up on Llama ...)
I would also like to mention that I have altered Llama/GTK so it no
longer
has or needs a Canvas widget. (It does use the GTK/GDK version, but the
canvas calls are done internally by the Window widget, a Llama/GTK
program
should never see them or use canvases directly.) Of course, unlike
David,
I plan on turning Llama/GTK into a functional library with MINIMAL
compatibility with Win32Lib. It would be quite difficult to create a
fully
functional clone of Win32Lib with all of its Win32 API functions on
Linux,
but, unlike Irv's EuGTK, I want some compatibility, so Win32
programmers
dont have to throw away their skills and relearn a whole new widget
library
when they write a program for Linux (not that EuGTK is hard, I just
want
to add more options for Linux GUI programmers).
I have also planned to port ezDesign.exw by Jacques Deschenes to
Llama/GTK,
but I have not really started yet, I will try as soon as I have some
more
free time. The file is under the name of ide.exu, by the way.
(If anyone else wants to take a try at writing an IDE for Llama,
please do. It would be greatly appreciated ;)
