[22:10] ericb2 ok, next point

[22:10] ericb2 3. Top 10 Status

[22:13] ericb2 One more issue is IMHO fixed : issue 73693

[22:13] ericb2 IZBot ?

[22:15] paveljanik anyone reported/asked on Xcode list why we can't debug soffice.bin?

[22:15] ericb2 This isssue is about the bundle. The fix (Oliver, me and Mox) modifies the tree, like Pavel's script did

[22:15] ericb2 paveljanik: not me

[22:15] paveljanik can you do it?

[22:16] ericb2 paveljanik: which list is it ?

[22:16] ericb2 Carbon-dev ?

[22:16] paveljanik search for xcode at http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo

[22:17] fheckl or ask at WWDC.

[22:17] paveljanik 8)

[22:17] ericb2 paveljanik: XCode-users

[22:17] paveljanik yes, everything can be postponed to WWDC, but such issue should be fixed online ;-)

[22:17] * mav_eric (n=mav_eric@xdsl-87-78-218-93.netcologne.de) has joined #ooo_macport

[22:17] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to mav_eric

[22:17] * ericb2 will read the archives, and if the issue is not known, I'll report it

[22:18] ericb2 paveljanik: better ask in the mailing list first

[22:18] ericb2 I wanted to say ..

[22:18] paveljanik yes, exactly.

[22:18] ericb2 about Bundle issue : the fix will be in a new cws ( Oliver didn't create it yet)

[22:18] fheckl paveljanik: of course. I agree. But if we don't find an answer before WWDC, it's a good place to ask

[22:19] paveljanik definitely!

[22:19] ericb2 paveljanik: can we commit the fix in aquavcl01, and reverse just before resync ?

[22:19] paveljanik sure, no problem.

[22:19] ericb2 paveljanik: ok, thanks

[22:19] ericb2 other Top 10 issue(s) fixed ?

[22:19] paveljanik please do not reverse it afterwards. This will be autofixed during resync.

[22:20] plipli good evening

[22:20] ericb2 plipli: hi Sebastien

[22:21] ericb2 About fonts utils, Tino told me he implemented new code. the bad news is he has the exactly same issue with boost templates

[22:22] ericb2 plipli: where are you with the new HIFramework ?

[22:22] plipli I implemented the integration

[22:23] plipli of HIFramework classes

[22:23] plipli thoses classes (TView, TObject) have many helpers, getters and setters

[22:24] plipli when an HIObjetc( Hiwindow, HIViewx) is created

[22:24] plipli we should register it to the HIFramework

[22:24] plipli in fact it will be done by salframe

[22:25] plipli Thus the registered instance of HIObject is using HIFramework instaneously

[22:25] plipli For example :

[22:25] plipli 1. In salnativewidget, a call of vcl to drawnativewidget, make the HIView : HICombo created

[22:27] plipli 2. Code must call the create function of HIFramework for this combo instead of creating it alone

[22:27] plipli 3. The create method of the HIFmk, will register the HIVIew (HICombo) to TView (class of HIFmk, we will surely rename)

[22:27] plipli 4. As a result, when events are called :

[22:28] plipli 4.1 - create event : we can store the ref of the control created

[22:29] plipli 4.2 - initialize event : we can store the texts of the combo list, in the event (in a data structure we define)

[22:29] plipli 4.3 - drawcontrol event : we allmost do nothing, except perhaps call : CallNextEventhandler (passes event o mother class), setNeedsDisplay(controlref,true)

[22:30] plipli 5.Specific event depending of control type : manage the event using infos stored in event !

[22:31] plipli 6. HiLite event, getPart event, HItesting : test and respond to event and/or store result in event data structure or param

[22:31] plipli 7. destruct event : FREE programmatically allocated memore (ie not allocated by Carbon itself)

[22:31] plipli 8. breathe deeply :-)

[22:32] plipli that's all..... 8-)

[22:32] plipli allmost evident isn't it

[22:32] ericb2 plipli: how is binded the scrollbar ?

[22:32] ericb2 plipli: things are different with it

[22:32] plipli binded ?

[22:32] plipli not

[22:32] plipli we don t need to manage scrollbar itself

[22:33] plipli we just have to create a scroll view

[22:33] ericb2 plipli: yes, we have to localize everything, to match with vcl areas

[22:33] plipli inside of content view

[22:33] plipli what s the use to math with vcl for scroll bar ?

[22:33] plipli .. /s math/match

[22:34] plipli we can implement a concrete method which is empty and will be called by VCL

[22:34] plipli as for us, Carbon hiview and wuartz will handle the scroll

[22:34] ericb2 plipli: is it possible to keep the existing control ?

[22:35] ericb2 plipli: there is only one issue with it, and it works fine

[22:35] plipli Apple provides 2 samples of scrollview : simple and advanced (cf devloper guides)

[22:35] ericb2 plipli: I'l have a look

[22:35] plipli why would you like to keep managing so complex things by yourself ?

[22:35] plipli let quatrz do its job :-)

[22:35] ericb2 plipli: fine control of the scrollbar is not easy

[22:36] plipli with apple dample it is finger in the nose

[22:36] * ericb2 curious :)

[22:36] plipli samples are easy to implement (copy/paste)

[22:36] ericb2 plipli: don't forget we have to connect vcl

[22:36] ericb2 with HI*

[22:36] plipli for scroll bars i dont see what we ahve to return to vcl ? it is on ly display

[22:37] plipli explaine me

[22:37] plipli tell me what is the difference if we bond vcl to method that do nothing to scrollbars ?

[22:37] plipli vcl won t care that no object were created...

[22:37] plipli vcl won t see it

[22:38] * plipli doesn't understand

[22:38] * plipli think vcl calls only drawnativewidget

[22:39] ericb2 plipli: not only

[22:39] plipli and AquaSalGraphics::DrawnativeWidget creates only the native HI* we ask it to create

[22:39] plipli ericb2: getpartregion ?

[22:39] plipli ericb2: hitest ?

[22:39] ericb2 plipli: e.g.

[22:40] plipli ericb2: these will be maneged by native events

[22:40] plipli ericb2: in salnativewidget, these methods will on ly get infos from events and return it to vcl

[22:41] ericb2 plipli: ok, let's try

[22:41] plipli ericb2: but the tests / get info on event when e.g.HItTest is called, will be done in events mangement methods implemented in HIFmk

[22:41] * plipli does not have time to implements much these coming weeks...but will help people whohave time to do it

[22:42] ericb2 I'll have a look at your code

[22:42] ericb2 plipli: I'll have a look at your code

[22:42] ismael_ IZBot

[22:42] plipli ericb2: I hope you will ;-)

[22:42] ericb2 plipli: this way, ismael_ and me can prepare the SoC

[22:42] ericb2 plipli: thanks for your work !

[22:43] plipli Hi Cremlae

[22:43] plipli ericb2: you re welcome

[22:43] * plipli will mostly act as a mentor on OOo from now, because of real work's work load...

[22:44] plipli OOo mac tea mmembers : don t forget to complete wiki about WWDC07 to write the questions you want us to get explained by Apple 's engineer...

[22:45] ericb2 plipli: this is next point ;)

[22:45] plipli :-)

[22:45] * IZBot has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

[22:46] Cremlae plipli: Hi plipli! (Sorry for the delay.)

[22:46] * IZBot (n=supybot@ppp-88-217-47-43.dynamic.mnet-online.de) has joined #ooo_macport

[22:46] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to IZBot

[22:47] plipli Cremlae: I ll go and catch informations for your GsoC application, when I ll attend to WWDC

[22:47] plipli Cremlae: put your wuestions on the wiki please

[22:47] mikesic plipli: So when can we start to see your code?

[22:48] plipli mikesic: I can send it now to the list but the current versio nis not clean, not commented and not easy to read.. but it compiles

[22:48] plipli what the others think about getting it ?

[22:48] plipli so you will be able to polish and debug it

[22:49] plipli ;-)

[22:49] Cremlae plipli: I'll try to think up a few questions, though I haven't looked at any code yet, so I don't have any.

[22:49] Cremlae plipli: Thanks :)

[22:49] ericb2 plipli: I can put your files somewhere ?

[22:50] ericb2 plipli: and everyone interested will download it, and start to work ?

[22:50] plipli ericb2: I can send the archive to mac@porting no ?

[22:50] paveljanik plipli

[22:50] paveljanik plipli

[22:50] ericb2 plipli: not sure it will work

[22:50] plipli oki

[22:55] shaunmcdonald I'm not going to go to the WWDC this year

[22:55] shaunmcdonald something has come up that prevents me from going

[22:56] shaunmcdonald I also think that someone else who has some experience in the programming of the aqua port would be a better candidate to go

[22:56] * shaunmcdonald hasn't yet touched the aqua code :-(

[22:56] ericb2 shaunmcdonald: well, I thought to you because you are student, and have brilllant ideas

[22:56] ericb2 shaunmcdonald: and you are good diplomat

[22:57] ericb2 shaunmcdonald: but we can understand you
