RE: [DotGNU]List of SWF controls - volunteers wanted

[BCalco]

Rhys:

I'd be interested on helping out with TreeView, DataGrid, Toolbar and Tab
Control. Also, DateTimePicker, MonthControl and Splitter also look like fun.

What do I need to do to set myself up for working on these components in
their current state? I have Cygwin on Win32, but I can set up a Linux box
with whatever versions of whatever libraries are needed, with some
assistance from folks who are "in the know", if I need to.

| Hi all,
| 
| Attached is a rough list of the controls in 
| System.Windows.Forms that we will 
| need to implement in the coming weeks.  "+" marks basic 
| infrastructure 
| widgets that I should have working in a more or less useful 
| fashion in a few 
| days.
| 
| Once the basics are there, I'm going to throw myself into TextBox and 
| RichTextBox, which are going to be the hard ones (I'm a 
| sucker for punishment 
| :-) ).  But pretty much everything else is up for grabs.
| 
| Even if you aren't 100% sure, still give it a go.  A stub is 
| worth its weight 
| in gold.  i.e. implement the API on a class, but leave the 
| contents marked as 
| [TODO] for someone else to fill in the logic.  Find yourself 
| a DotGNU buddy - 
| stub for your buddy, or fill in your buddy's stub.
| 
| Some controls (e.g. DataGrid and TreeView) have a bunch of 
| helper classes 
| which don't do any GUI work - just shift data around.  Those 
| should be pretty 
| easy.
| 
| See "pnetlib/System.Windows.Forms/HACKING" for more info.  
| Also, download the 
| Wine code and have a look at how they handle events, drawing, 
| etc, for your 
| chosen control and then copy that.
| 
| Cheers,
| 
| Rhys.
