FengGUI Improvements

Some of you are using FengGUI. That is great and motivates me to continue to work on it. But I do not get as much feedback as I would to like to receive, which is why I make this poll. I hope this gives a clue about the requirement distribution for GUIs.

Note that you have two votes!

PS: You may also vote if you havent used FengGUI yet. Select an item that would make FengGUI especially attractive in your eyes. Or add a feature here which you miss in the list above.

Looks like (after only seven votes) that “add missing Widgets” makes it.

What Widgets do you have in mind exactly?

Haven’t tried FengGUI in code yet, just saw your web start demo right now, and one thing that I didn’t like about it was the fact that, while typing on a text box, there were no means of selecting the entire text in order to delete or change it.

So my votes went to “fix bugs” (it’s always a good bet =), and “make it XP like” - the latter because I couldn’t find a “improve GUI usability”-like option :wink:

Congratulations for the project, it looks great and I’m definitely going to try it out!

I have just tried FengGUI; I haven’t started using it yet. However, if there are missing standard widgets, you should add those. Also if bugs ar known, they should be fixed before any new code is written.

Hi,

Some of you may have noticed that we (Rainer and me) haven’t been really busy lately on FengGUI. That was mainly due to the final stage of my master’s thesis and some other stuff that Rainer had to do. Now that I am finally done with my thesis I will spend more time on FengGUI again. However, we haven’t been absolutely absent. We fixed several bugs and added (few) stability assertions.

Robustness is still an issue though. We hope to make a step forward on that in the next alpha release which we hope to get done in mid June.

Hmm, yeah, selecting text is still not supported including removing selected chunks and a clipboard. I am afraid that we will not tackle that very soon as we do not regard that as a crucial GUI function.

Yapp, I totally agree. However, we can only fix those bugs we find. Thus, sending us bug reports with a short snippet of code is much appreciated!
