Hello,
I've just converted the current version of XFMail to use the new
tabfolder container instead of the "home" made solution it currently
uses and found some flaws.
o Documentation
Under "Interaction" you write that "the tabbed folder object is
returned to the application program" if the user selects a
different folder. As you later write, this is at least not totally
correct. There is no way to obtain this kind of status change from
within a "do { obj=fl_do_only_forms(); } while..." statement.
At first I kind of misunderstood the comments on the backface of the
folder and chose to use FL_NO_BOX for the folders (i.e. the forms),
which had the effect that redrawing wasn't done correctly :-) Now the
tabfolder itself (the container) is a FL_UP_BOX and each of the
folders is a FL_FLAT_BOX.
o fl_set_folder_bynumber() routine
This routine currently only works after the form is shown and some
drawing has occured. To preset a folder I now use
fl_show_form(config_display_form->configuredisplay,
FL_PLACE_CENTER, FL_TRANSIENT, "Configure");
/* Hack to make fl_set_folder_bynumber() work */
while(!fl_get_active_folder_number(config_display_form->tab))
fl_check_forms();
fl_set_folder_bynumber(config_display_form->tab, dnr);
which works, but isn't nice IMO. At least, XFMail now works using
the new tabfolder container :-)
At last two questions:
o is a Solaris version of xforms-0.87 planned?
o is there a way to bind both <Ctrl-d> and the Delete-Key of my
keyboard to the function "delete next char"? Or more general:
to bind multiple keys to one function?
