It's designed for native widgets. So far, it just does windows, buttons, and text fields, but adding other controls shouldn't be too difficult. The goal is to create as simple and intuitive of an interface as possible, even if it means sacrificing a few advanced features that are rarely used. What's the advantage over the existing libraries? Why have you choosen to build a library from scratch, instead of improving an existing one? see: http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GuiLibraries

Re: SHOO's Time code -- conclusion
I accept Shoos implementation only with the conditions 1) No multiplication, division and remainder operations are allowed. Tango used these operations for date calculation in an original way. All similar uses are forbidden. 2) Also it is not allowed to implement routines for operations at (1). That would be obviously a thinly veiled attempt at stealing Tango code. 3) No use of the words date, time, and calendar are allowed in the code or the documentation. These words were used creatively by Tango. They cannot be stolen. I am sure these requirements are reasonable invalid email-address => useless content
Re: layout wiki4d - part 2
Looks good. :) Thanks for taking the time to do it! -Lars Thanks! :) In the most discussions I had with my coworkers, has been been mentioned, that a community, which even not have a beautiful wiki (besides other issues), can't be a serious project. So I decided to improve this. I hope this small step helps to make D more attractive to new users. greets Matthias

layout wiki4d - part 2
Ok, as already mentioned in the old thread I have set up a testpage to make the suggested (and some other minor) changes. So we should decide, which layout we should use for the wiki. a) the old one b) the current http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi c) the testpage http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?MatthiasPleh/TestPage d) some other layout, anybody want create, NOTE: the changes, I have made, are public and can changed by every wiki-user without registration! So everybody is welcome to improve not only the content but also the layout of the wiki!! greets Matthias
Re: new layout on wiki4d
Mostly, looks fine here, except that having some headers smaller
than the text body looks funny (of course, h4, h5... are not used
that often in real pages).
Your font specifications should always end with one of the standard
CSS font families ("serif", "sans-serif", "monospace", "cursive" or
"fantasy"), you should not assume that everyone has one of the fonts
specified explicitely ("Helvetica" for example is not that common in
the Windows world).
Jerome
Ah, I see! I will have a look at this
PS: btw, do you know browsershots? http://browsershots.org It allows
you to see screenshots of how a web page looks on a wide variety of
OSes and browsers (although of course you won't see the differences
due to the screen that way).
Hey, really cool site. But it seems, that my testpage was already tested.
Re: new layout on wiki4d
Other than those things, it looks good though. thanks! I've tried to left out the specification of the font-size (as someone mentioned here), and the result was this big font! But now it should look better.
Re: new layout on wiki4d
thanks for your comments I've played around with the font-size problem and have setup a test page under my folder on the wiki. I also like the idea from Justin to make the look more like the official d-page. So please have a look, comment here or change the files directly for the testpage. http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?MatthiasPleh/TestPage greets Matthias

Re: d support in codeblocks
First, the normal code::block selector uses smart colors which are based upon the underlying text color, etc. Essentially, it only changes the background color (like many other editors) and doesn't change the foreground color. This makes selection easier to read and extend. This are only colorsettings and can be overritten be the user It also doesn't play havoc with code::blocks' thread search feature. I don't know what you mean Second, languages don't have color conventions, IDEs do. Code::blocks is different from Visual Studio which is different from Scintilla ad nauseam. Just open a Smalltalk file in codeblocks, the colorscheme is completly different My recommendation was simply to follow code::blocks' style and XML tags where possible because a) all the existing code::blocks users are comfortable with this or have already overwritten those tags we don't like with our own preferences. And b) following the existing style may smooth the entire process of getting the patch accepted into the mainline trunk. What is codeblocks-style? Smalltalk,C++,Ruby,ASM ... ?? They all have different colorschemes! Third, out of curiosity, the background color for DMD code samples seem to be gray. Where did you find/why did you choose beige? OK, the backgroundcolor was badly choosen. Forth, for the lexer, I have a vague memory up patches/updates to Scintilla being posted a long time ago. You might want to look into SciTE4d and SEATD. There is already a d-lexer in the scintilla and codeblocks project This is what I use! Win32/DMD 2 though I don't remember seeing separate D1 and D2 entries in the compiler selection menu. I tested with Wn32/DMD2 and it works just fine. There are 3 different compiler for D - Digital Mars D1 compiler - Digital Mars D2 compiler - GDC D Compiler You should see all 3 compiler or your compilation failed.

Thanks for your report! to 1.) I haven't changed any code for the lexer (It's anyway not code from codeblocks but rather from scintilla) I only have added more tags in the xml-file and have changed the colors. But this is only a draft. The most colors was taken from the examples on the DigitalMars Page, couse I think this is rather the official standard for D. I also don't understand, why we should take the same colors, as it is used in C++ ?? But feel free to send me your version (lexer_d.xml) or a description how you want it and I would have a look at it. I have also tried a version with 8 different keywordgroups (as it is in Poseidon) and different colors for normal-string, raw-string, and so on ... but for my taste this is too much, I like it simple. to2.) which OS/compiler?

Re: why Ddbg is not updated anymore...
Stephan schrieb: I dunno if anyone knew this before but i wanted to give my kudos to a guy that did a lot for the D community by developing the still best debugger for the D Programming Language Ddbg (http://ddbg.mainia.de/releases.html) The question often came up why it is not updated anymore. Well the reason for this is that Jascha Wetzel the developer of Ddbg earns the big bucks now with his product Turbolence 4D (http://jawset.com/) and his company "Jawset Visual Computing" "TURBULENCE.4D makes the most realistic and efficient methods in CG fluid dynamics available in standard software" Well and recently his product got used in the new Bruce Willis movie "Surrogates" (http://chooseyoursurrogate.com/). All in all I whish him the best for the future and that he will never forget D when developing next cutting edge software. The downside is that Ddbg finally needs a new developer for the future to get updated. In the second part of the mentioned restrictions in the license.txt is written: * You may only redistribute the software unmodified, in the form and prepackaging it is available from the official website. It's seems as if redistributing of a changed version is not allowed. (But perhaps my english understanding is not good enought, I'm not an english native speaker :) So in this case, we need to write a debugger from scratch. greets matthias
