From MartinB:

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

1)  Rearranged aspects of the menu code in preparation for making it

go faster and for improving some of the menu UI

2)  Further improvements to header files of menu code

3)  Menu code once again builds cleanly under Gcc

4)  Moved some drawing utility functions out of menu code into

EikDrawUtils code in EIKDUTIL.*

From Vipul:

-----------

5)  Merged the code from CEikAutoDialog into CEikDialog itself, so

that all dialogs now support "auto" items, not just "Opl dialogs"

6)  Modified existing CEikDialog code accordingly, and started work

on some test code for dialogs with auto items

From SimonC:

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

7)  Global and rich text editors now always use their own paragraph

and character format layers, rather than sharing those in CEikonEnv;

this avoids problems whereby bolding one global text editor caused

all other editors to be bolded as well

8)  Further fixes to the HandlePointerEventL code in CEikEdwin so

that, for the first time, shift-clicking *and* picture stretching

both work properly

9)  Improvements in the code creating a new folder inside the file

browser; eg the New Folder dialog now has a text label specifying the

(default) location of the new folder

10) If the New Folder button is used to create a folder on a

different drive from the one the File Browser is currently logged to,

the File Browser now switches to that drive on the termination of the

New Folder dialog

11) Workaround to an F32 bug, so that the Open File dialog can be be

used to read z: on the rack

12) Other internal improvements in file brower and directory

listboxes

From Bret:

----------

13) Fixed drawing bug in CEikWorldSelector in which not every pixel

was being drawn in some cases

14) Improvements in the display of world selectors in the case when

the font has been changed, to one different from that used to

calculate the size of the world selector

15) Changed from using the three character ellipsis "..." to the

single character "…" variant (Alt-133)

16) Eliminated an unneeded dependency on EIKENV.H in EIKWSEL.H

17) Other internal improvements to world selector code

From Siamak:

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

18) Fixed various scrollbar-related and size-related problems in

listboxes (eg listbox min size was incorrectly calculated in the

presence of scrollbars, and the current item for a listbox in a

dialog wasn't always visible when the dialog first appeared)

19) See the "Script1" case in TLBX for a working example of a listbox

in a dialog having a scrollbar

20) Changed listbox default behavior to assume that any scrollbar

size should be included within the stated size of the listbox

21) Started added support for dimming in listboxes

22) Changed CListItemDrawer::DrawActualItem() to be pure virtual,

rather than simply empty

23) Test code TLBX now tests some panics in listbox code, but always

puts up a query dialog first to allow the user/operator to bypass

that test

From Neil:

----------

24) Provided scrollbars with the ability to be dimmed, eg for when

their parent listbox gets dimmed

25) Added an option to each of the scrollbar menus in test code

TScrlB0 to dim that scrollbar

26) If an application connects to the alarm alert server when there

is already a previous client, it is the application that now gets

panicked, rather than the alarm alert server panicking itself

From DavidW:

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

27) Developed the logic of "auto-dialogs", with a new example in

TDialg0, and by converting the "Set time and date" dialog in LShell

to be an auto-dialog.  The code for this dialog is now just

    void CSimpleAppUi::LaunchTimeAndDateDialog()

	{

	TTime timeAndDate;

	timeAndDate.HomeTime();

	CEikDialog* dialog=new(ELeave) CEikDialog;

	dialog->PrepareLC(R_LSHELL_TIME_AND_DATE_DIALOG);

	dialog->DeclareAutoTimeAndDateEditor(ETimeAndDate,&timeAndDate);

	if (dialog->RunLD())

	    User::SetHomeTime(timeAndDate);

	}

28) The ExecuteLD(TInt aResourceId) function of CEikDialog is now

    EXPORT_C TBool CEikDialog::ExecuteLD(TInt aResourceId)

        {

	PrepareLC(aResourceId);

	return(RunLD());

        }

so you can see that there now a new possibility for applications to

insert code in between the "PrepareLC" and the "RunLD" parts of a

dialog.  Before, all such code had to go in (eg) the

PreLayoutDynInitL function, which meant that a custom subclass of

CEikDialog had to be created.  However, from the above LSHELL code

you can see that the dialog class being used is none other than

CEikDialog itself - there is no need for a custom subclass here

29) The effect of a function call DeclareAutoXxx(TInt,TAny*) is to

add the specified control to the set of "auto" items for the dialog,

ie those whose return values are automatically filled in, just after

the call to OkToExitL() returns; the DeclareXxx function also seeds

the initial value of the control from the initial value pointed to by

the "return value" pointer

30) More DeclareAutoXxx() utility functions will shortly appear in

greater numbers in EIKDLGUT.*

31) You can have as many auto-items for any dialog that you like,

without incurring any additional storage overhead (a slot for a

return value pointer is now stored in CEikCaptionedControl property,

along with a record of the control type, to allow a check at run-time

that the control type is what any subsequent call to DeclareXxx might

assume it is

32) There's a lot of scope for simplifying existing Nokie code by

converting more dialogs to the auto form; this will be tackled in

stages over the next few days

33) Another thing that can be done with auto-item technology is to

build up a dialog entirely in memory, without going near a resource

file.  Eg an example from the latest TDialg0:

    void CSimpleAppUi::CmdAutoDialogL()

	{

	CEikDialog* dialog=new(ELeave) CEikDialog;

	dialog->ConstructAutoDialogLC(EEikDialogFlagWait,

						R_EIK_BUTTONS_CANCEL_OK);

	dialog->SetTitleL(_L("Auto dialog"));

	dialog->AddAutoNumberEditorL(_L("Number editor"),

						101,0,300,&iAutoNumber);

	dialog->AddAutoFloatEditorL(_L("Float editor"),

				102,TReal(0),TReal(300),&iAutoReal);

	dialog->AddAutoTextEditorL(_L("Text editor"),103,&iAutoText);

	dialog->RunLD();

	}

(the 101, 102, 103 are generated ID numbers, which have to be

distinct)

34) More AddAutoXxx() utility functions will shortly appear in

greater numbers in EIKDLGUT.*; apart from this, the essentials of

Eikon support for Opl dialogs are now firmly in place

35) Changed various ConstructL() functions of various controls not to

have their container window as a parameter; this simplifies the

corresponding AddAutoXxx() functions considerably

36) Started splitting up EIKPANIC.* into various self-contained *.PAN

files, thus EIKEDWIN.PAN, EIKMFNE.PAN, EIKDIALG.PAN and EIKLBX.PAN

all exist, and are now #included within the obvious source modules

instead of EIKPANIC.H

37) Reverted to the "dark gray when pressed" scheme for movers

(retaining the constants for the "white when pressed" scheme in a

commented section at the top of the source module)

38) Fixed the problems which were preventing TCombo1 from running

39) Trailers of invisible controls in dialogs now go invisible,

rather than just gray

40) Rationalized the hotkeys in TDialg0.

(Build 045 was never formally released)

As a side-effect of some of the changes described below, the

following test apps have got broken, and are temporarily withdrawn:

TPDraw and TCombo1.

The code in TRTxtEd that causes a dependency on PRINT.DLL has been

temporarily commented out, to allow (the rest of) it to run under

WINS again.

From MartinB:

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

1)  Yet another stage in the improvement of command buttons: the

button face now always scrolls as a whole, instead of its constituent

parts scrolling separately

2)  As a result of the above, the Scroll() functions in CEikImage and

CEikLabel could be withdrawn; the change also means that other types

of "drawing controls" could be incorporated more easily on the button

face in the future

3)  As an experiment, changed the colors used by the Mover control

when pressed to match those used by buttons, ie the background goes

white; on reflection this does not seem to be well liked and so this

is likely to revert to what it used to do

4)  Minor changes to TEikGrip code

5)  Some work on the menu code in preparation for it becoming beta:

applied more consts as appropriate, scoped more of the enums, moved

the definitions of some private implementation classes out of the *.H

files into the relevant source modules, and generally tidied things

up

From SimonC:

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

6)  Added support in CEikCaptionedControl for any control in a dialog

to have some trailing text ("trailer")

7)  There's a new LTEXT field "trailer" in the DLG_LINE resource

struct that causes a trailer to be created for that line

8)  See the "Floats" dialog in TDialg0 for an example of trailers in

dialogs

9)  Fixed a bug in CEikEdwin in which shift-clicking in a rich-text

editor failed to extend the select region

10) Several changes to the way CEikEdwin gets initialized; made

corresponding changes to FPNE and Edit Combo code

11) Removed all hard-coded text from EIKEDWIN.CPP, using resource

strings as required

12) Added an optional "New folder" button to the file browser dialog,

allowing the user to create a new folder if the desire arises

13) File browser displays ought to be updated automatically whenever

a new folder is created from within them

14) Other internal improvements to various code, such as listboxes

and directory tree listboxes

From Neil:

----------

15) Reviewed and tidied up the scroll bar, scroll frame, and

scrollbar button code

16) Fixed bug in scroll button whereby holding down the pointer until

the thumb reached its extreme and the button dimmed, failed to

"release" the button (ie the background stayed dark) until the mouse

button was released

17) Commented out the functions in the "approximate scrollbars" API

(intended for use with partially formatted edwins) since this doesn't

work at all well (some more bright ideas are required on how to solve

this problem!)

18) Auto repeat settings for scrollbar buttons are now different for

the initial delay and subsequent repeats, in a similar way to

keyboard repeats

19) Similar change to auto-repeat timing for ears in captioned

controls

20) Improved the "access count" mechanism in the Eikon Server

visibility: ComeToForeground() and GoToBackground() now both take a

CEikServAppUi::TForegroundReason parameter to determine who is

calling it; this is to prevent the Eikon Server being inadvertently

stranded in either foreground or background

21) The Eikon Alarm Alert server now panics if a second client tries

to connect to it

22) Fixed problems in the Eikon Server if a key like Ctrl+E was

pressed when an alarm was showing

23) Improved test code TEar1

From Vipul:

-----------

24) Started work on a project currently called "auto dialogs", which

is a new class CEikAutoDialog in a new module EIKAUTOD.*

25) "Auto dialogs" are so-called because the variables they edit are

handled automatically by CEikAutoDialog code, once they are set up in

a suitable initialization struct; there's no need for the application

to supply custom PreLayoutDynInitL() and OkToExitL() functions

26) Auto dialogs are being created to serve the need of Opl dialogs,

but it is hoped that they can ease the way of other applications

programming "straightforward" dialogs; it is also likely that the

code in CEikAutoDialog will migrate into CEikDialog itself

From Julian:

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

27) Replaced the CEikEdCmp class with CEikGlobalTextEditor, and

renamed the module EIKEDCMP.* to EIKGTED.* (matching the module name

EIKRTED.* which holds CEikRichTextEditor)

28) A "global text editor" responds to keys such as Ctrl+B by bolding

its entire contents

29) Added a "global text editor" dialog to TDialg0

30) With Simon, many internal changes in CEikGlobalTextEditor code

31) Fixed some redraw problems with the gray palette selector

32) Changed the mechanism used in the gray palette selector to show

the "current" color: instead of a black outline, there's now a

pointer arrow

From Siamak:

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

33) Further improvements to TLBX listbox test code

34) Fixed some bugs in listboxes that came to light while testing

35) On Bill's suggestion, redefined a couple of protected functions

in CEikMultiColumnListBox so that any excess space in the viewrect is

at the bottom of the listbox rather than being spread evenly between

the top and the bottom (as happens for "normal" listboxes)

From Bret:

----------

36) Improved test code TWldSl by adding a toolbar plus some

additional hot-keys

37) Made EIKWSEL.* indepedent of EIKDIALG.H, by overriding the

CCoeControl function SetNeighbor() in CEikWorldSelector.  This stores

the pointer of the previous dialog control in case a link needs to be

made to it in ConstructFromResourceL()

38) As a result of the above, the pair_id field in the world selector

resource struct is removed.  Instead, when a selector wants to pair

up with the previous selector, it sets the new flag

EEikWorldSelSecondSelector

39) In a dialog selector pair scenario, the second selector will

automatically take the opposite type from the first selector (eg

country as opposed to city).  Also the first selector in any pair now

defaults to being a city selector

40) Removed the flag EEikWorldSelDarkBackground; the background will

now always be white, except that it is black when the control is

focused

41) Removed the flag EEikWorldSelFlashingCursor, since the cursor

should always flash

42) Added a "chars_wide" field to the world selector resource struct

43) Many other internal changes in world selector code

From DavidW:

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

44) A couple of minor changes to CEikProgressInfo code arising out of

a mini-review when its design was added to \design\eon.

Released in synch with CONE 104 and with TBOX 069

(PRINT/020 uses a previous version of TBOX, and for this reason, test

apps that rely on PRINT fail to run under WINS.  In practice, this

only means TRTxtEd.  Somewhat to my surprise, TRTxtEd seems to run

fine under Gcc!)

From Neil:

----------

1)  The Eikon Server now checks on start-up that the machine date and

time are sensible and, if they are less than 1980, sets them to 1997

2)  Test code TEar1 now supports setting an alarm - either 10 seconds

in the past, or 65 seconds in the future, with the test alarm screen

appearing as a result, and beeps at regular intervals.  (On WINS, the

"lights" in the middle of the Protea fascia.BMP flash, but I haven't

noticed anything like that on a real Protea)

3)  The buttons on the alarm control are now active when an alarm is

in progress: you can Snooze, Silence, or Clear an alarm

4)  Internal to the alarm supervisor, changed from using Universal

Time to using Home Time

5)  Other internal changes inside the Eikon Server

6)  Improved TEar1 to have a menu bar publicising all the features of

the app

From Siamak:

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

7)  Fixed various problems with pointer event handling in standard

and multi-column listboxes

8)  Developed the test code TLBX further

From DavidW:

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

9)  The functions CEikDialog::MakeLineVisible() and

SetLineDimmedNow() both now work, supporting dynamic

dimming/undimming and hiding/showing of items in dialogs - for

examples, see the Sizes dialog in TPrgi, or the Choices or Floats

dialogs in TDialg0

10) The caption of a dialog line now goes dark gray if the control

for that line has been made either dimmed or invisible; note that not

all controls respect the dimmed state yet, by drawing themselves more

grayly (choice lists do; most others don't)

11) Clicking on a non-focused focusable window-owning-control in a

dialog now correctly gives the focus to that control

12) Fixed a typo in the anti-nesting declarations in EIKMVOBS.H

(picked up by running CCS EMPTY)

13) Further developed the test code TPrgi for CEikProgressControl

14) Made use of the new CCoeControl function SetNeighbor() to pass

each control in a dialog the handle of the *previous* control; this

function is called after the ConstructFromResourceL() for the control

15) Took advantage of the new CCoeControl function

PositionRelativeToScreen() to simplify the positioning of pop-outs in

choice list and gray selector code

16) Did a minimal conversion of edwin code for TBOX 069, so that the

test code at least runs without falling over in a heap (but there's

plenty scope for choosing more carefully which TBOX function to call

in many places)

17) Took advantage of the new TParaBorderArray class to simplify the

code in the Paragraph Borders Preview class.
