widgets
I am calling my fellow dos dinosaurs again, a sadly dwindling herd:
few weeks, ago when I finished about 22nd rewrite of my widgets, I
liked it so much I actually used it. The program is a crude Travelling
Salesman Problem's solution, and Rob has just included it in the
Recent User Contributions. It demonstrates just a small subset of the
widgets, but enough, I hope, to give you the essential flavor of the
thing.
Why? Because I am not really sure what to do with it. As I said, I am
quite happy with it as it is, but I realize decent documentation will
be required by anybody else foolish or desperate enough to play with
it. I am not talking about 17 Mbytes help file in compressed form, of
course, but it would still require a substantial effort on my part to
bring the docs up to date. And I am not willing to spend any more time
on it unless I get some indication that at least a handful of people
are interested...
Either way, I'll send the complete set with just rudimentary help file
to Rob in a day or two, so you will have a better idea what's
involved. And for those, who never bothered, just a brief description:
widgets.e : the core of the system. A 'Swiss army knife' style
utility, incorporating the latest versions of my font include,
associative lists, versatile mouse routines, an events manager
with the necessary global definitions, a common text widget as well
as a number of other frequently used routines and one or two
debugging tools.
about twenty widgets, raging from simple buttons and checkboxes to
more complex draggable windows, scrollable list boxes, even a
complete file selector. Each defined in its own include file and
with its own short test/demo program.
some very rough docs plus a handful of font files used in the demos.
So, please, let me know, if you are really interested, privately if
you wish, I shall be discrete ;).
