GUI - composer in newLISP ?
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2007 5:54 pm
The gui-server is whetting the appetite , let's dream a bit.
Maybe someday we can click and paste a complete gui with 'the newLISP GUI-Composer' as a result you get the whole program-frame , with all the containers you need, with all the properties you can choose of, generating automatically the event actions .. the only thing for you is adding the functions .
But that's too much for one or for one first step . OK - as old Tanimoto wrote : when you bite off more than you can chew, spit it out and start over.
What about the same as a light-version , as a text-version ? ( maybe this leads to a 'meta-language' or 'super-commands' )
As a first step i tried to sort all gui-server-commands . A list of containers, a list of properties , a list of events , parameters and so on .
Because i'm lazy i wanted to xml-parse the gui-server-manual to extract all syntax , but as you can think ,this results to 'nil' .. this leads to the 'tidy'-discussion ... i have no tidy .. this leads to regex ... oh boy .. i don't like regex - learning regex or writing a regex-interpreter/generator ..difficult decisions for a sunday-evening ;-)
