I would suggest putting aside the MDI SDI questions for now, and work on defining a widget set. But we need to know how to set up a main window before we put any widgets in it, don't we? I can imagine that once we are past this stage, adding widgets will be quick and simple.
But we should realize that not all apps will be 'document-centric' apps. I imagine many projects will take the common form of a single drawing widget in a window and some pretty graphics for instance. In any case, MDI SDI is pretty orthogonal to many of our tasks. such as formalizing what the haskell interface will look like which should be one of our first goals. this doesnt mean a list of widget calls, but rather a precise proposal for the form all the widget creation and modification calls in the library will take. (which may evolve as our spec does, but we should have something concrete to write proposed widget interfaces in) John -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Meacham - California Institute of Technology, Alum. - john@foo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
