Re: FW: [ve-dev] separator and a bug?

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Janek,

About the feedback question. Do you
mean after you dropped the JTable or before you dropped the JTable. After
you dropped the JTable there is nothing visible of the parent. The JTable
with Center will automatically cover the entire parent. Also, since JTable
can take children (only TableColumns), it acts like a parent and so it
rejects any child except TableColumns. The problem of hidden parents has
been with us from the very beginning. We have some ideas on this but so
far nothing actually feasible. You have to use the Beans list to drop on
invisible parents.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Gili,
 
I know you are busy with the big
release.
 
Please reply as soon as you have
time.
 
Also have noticed something:
 
In JPanel with BorderLayout if
you put JTable in Center then you don't see any feedback. Perhaps you need
to increase the margins around feedback rectangles?
 
will file a bugzilla for this.
 
Thanks and regards,
 
Janak

Dear VE Team:

Two questions:

1. Suppressing generation of var and instanciation stmt for a bean:

>>> GM >>>
Off hand, my first approach would be to treat this (in codegen) as a special
property that is set on the toolbar.  CodeGen will treat is as a "special"
property settings on the tool bar, but the decoder helper that is associated
with this new feature will create a Separator instance with the proper
allocation tree.
>>>>>

I created a separate feature on ULCMenu and for ULCSeparator, in codegen
generate, addSepartor() and in decoder create an instance of ULCSeparator.

The code looks as follows:

                private ULCMenu
ulcMenu = null;

                private ULCMenu
getUlcMenu() {
                    
            if (ulcMenu == null) {
                    
                     
       ulcMenu = new ULCMenu();
                    
                     
       ULCSeparator ulcMenuSeparator = new ULCSeparator();
                    
                     
       ulcMenu.addSeparator();
                    
            }
                    
            return ulcMenu;
                }

The question is:

How do I suppress the generation of ULCSeparator ulcMenuSeparator = new
ULCSeparator();?

-------------------------------------

2. import stmt for an inner class:

For ULCToolBar life is bit easy in ULC. I can continue to us
ULCToolBar.add(ULCComponent)  method (instead of the convenience method
addSeparator()) because ULCToolBar$ULCSeparator descends from ULCComponent.
But there is one problem.

The separator for ULCToolBar is an inner public class of ULCToolBar nameley
ULCToolBar$ULCSeparator. The codegen generates an import statement:

    import com.ulcjava.base.application.ULCToolBar.ULCSeparator;

This is a compilation error and perhaps a bug : For inner class shouldn't
it
import the outer class?

How do I get it to generate:            
    import com.ulcjava.base.application.ULCToolBar?

Thanks and regards,

Janak

Hi,

The separators for toolbar and menu are not supported in Swing VE.

In ULC we have ULCSeparator like JSeparator of swing.

I would like to generate addSeparator() method on tool bar and menu. But
at
the same time suppress the generation of new ULCSepartor() _expression_ and
also suppress generation of global or local var and getters.

In general is there a way to suppress generation of instantiation, variables
and getters?

Can I do the following:

In override file for ULCSeparator specify a CodeGenHelperClass that extends
AbstractExpressionDecoder.

The helper for decoder extends from ConstructorDecoderHelper and generates
nothing!

Or is there a better way to do separator?

Thanks,

Janak
