Prototype dialog editor and property sheet classes
--------------------------------------------------
Julian Smart, October 4th 1995
------------------------------
Here's what I've done so far on a lightweight dialog editor. The 16-bit
Windows binaries in the bin directory are dialoged.exe (the dialog
editor) and test.exe (a small property sheet demo).
Main points:
- You can create a new dialog box and add items to it.
- You can move items around, and right-click
to edit a few properties (very incomplete).
- Can't write out .wxr files yet. Loading code is in
wxWindows, but writing code is absent: should be put
into wxWindows.
- No attempt at resources other than dialogs yet.
Should have menu editor too.
- Should *somehow* have a protocol to allow
existing resources e.g. in wxCLIPS/wxPython
to be edited in situ.
This should be made simpler by the existance of
the plug-in event handler mechanism, which means you
can temporarily handle all the events yourself.
- See dialoged.cc: the main program is tiny because
it's meant to be embeddable.
- The wxPropertySheet (set of) classes are very
general and should be put into wxWin and documented.
Comments, chivvying and help all appreciated. Maybe if
I documented what I had, it would be easier for others
to do some work on it.

Julian
