[glob2-devel] Tooltip System (end?)

[Sébastien]

Hello,
I've been working on the tooltip system this week end. Its first version is 
finished (I think that Stéphane should apply the patch soon).
The principle of operation is simple : every Widget now has a constructor wich 
takes the tooltip text and the ID of the tooltip font in argument. Only one 
constructor is missing, the one for a Text widget where you do not pass the 
text to be displayed : first of all because the compilator get confused (one 
constructor is char* string string, the other string string string, it 
compiles but doesn't have the expected behavior), secondly because when you 
build an empty text, you probably don't want a tooltip. So there is a new 
method setTooltip(string tooltip, string font) which allow you to define a 
tooltip once the Widget is created...
The widget who want to have specific initialization must now have a method 
internalInit (it's called as init was, this was changed for technical reasons
If you need more information, tell it...
I'm now going to modify the evenment handling system . If you look at the 
Widget's onSDLEvent, you'll notice that almost every widget has a switch or a 
if sequence in order to determinate the type of event. This lead to a 
situation where every widget perform the same tests. the basic idea is to 
have a global switch at the screen level (dispatchEvents) and call a 
dedicated method : onButtonDown, onMouseMotion, etc.
