Re: [paragui-users] C++ developer requests

[Atani]

While I do agree with the idea of using Python (or even Perl) for its ability 
to do dynamic class instantiations  I think it is more suitable for the GUI 
tool to use itself, in its native language, to allow the developer a 
RAD-style tool.  In the example code tar.gz file which i linked to I only 
handled simple buttons... there appears to be a bug in the code when compiled 
against the latest paragui, however, I have thought about scrapping the old 
code and starting fresh again with a new look at how things are done and how 
to do things now.  The old code has a lot of references to older class names 
and requires a number of modifications to even make it compile.  It would be 
best in an effort to rewrite it from the ground up and leverage a few of the 
new widgets in place of the ones that i wrote up for that app (ie the 
spinnerbox).
