A bunch of widgets seem to be missing from RR (even in 2.0). For instance: When creating multi-column fields, why is it necessary for us to implement our own resizable field headers (the ones you find in email clients, iTunes, etc.)?
It's a very common field type - surely Apple and Microsoft must have provided some sort of OS-level "widget" thingy for it? I know Chipp (thanks btw) has a stack that demonstrates how this can be "hacked up" in RR, but *why* does it need to be hacked up in the first place? :-) It still looks and behaves differently from the one I see most apps use...do they somehow have access to something we don't? What's the logic behind that? Also, how do you (manually again, I guess) insert those ellipses (...) when the width of a column is too small to fit the text? Anyone has any script for that? Do C and REALbasic programmers have to do these things manually too? Seems like a total waste of time for something that is known to be used again and again across so many applications. :-) Any comments/suggestions? Valetia P.S. What about that spinning widget that you see in the lower-middle of the screen when shutting down or restarting Jaguar? I'm quite sure it's a widget that's readily available with most of the other programming languages (I think I caught a glimpse of it in REALbasic one time)... For instance...this spinning thingy also appears in Microsoft Entourage to indicate the checking of email. When I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.1 to Jaguar (which uses a new design for the spinning widget), the design was *automatically* updated in Entourage (same copy)! A sure sign of it being a "widget"...right? :-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
