Hello,
One of the items I haven't seen discussed is input validation. Web
frameworks such as Rails and Django spent a great deal of time making
these easy to work with and I think that it should be considered for
gtk+ 3.0.
FWIW, I hacked up a crude idea[1] a few months ago. If others are
interested in this feature, and willing to give me API guidance, I'd
be willing to spend the time to implement it.
As primary features, I think it should cover,
* Integration with GtkBuilder to build validations at design time
* Ability to chain a validation request on button activate in a
dialog and suppress the event if validation fails
* Validation split into reusable validators and reusable style
modifiers
- Range validator, Regex validator, etc
- Style modifier, or with css we can add/remove classes based on
validation result
Comments and suggestions appreciated,
-- Christian
