------- Additional comments from robustc...@openoffice.org Wed Nov 10 02:59:01 +0000 2010 ------- Docking Panel is a new implemented UI element which supports Extension usage. Literally, it'a container window derived from DockWin, and extra docking areas are defined to support its docking feature. literally, all the UNO items could be put inside the DockingPanel, and container window like toolbars and menubars are could also be the children of the DockingPanel. From developers point of view, the DockingPanel could be a toolset which is much more versatile than toolbox. More, only one script file would be sufficient to describe the contains and layout( currently only way ) of the DockingPanel. Easier to develop, easier to maintain, even easier for dummies to get hands on. Write your own Extensions from now on. Currently the feature has been done by RedFlag2000. However to go further to enable multiple panel grouping, define the way of grouping, calculate layout style when docked(using the current split window or not). How about the Layout inside the DockingPanel( even affect the layout of dialogs ). All of those questions are currently unresolved. As the concern mentioned, we'd like to have your brains, do give advice. And all the works and efforts we made will deliver to the community without any of the reservation, Of course prerequisite is that the community like to accept.
