RE: [paragui-dev] Paragui Developer

[Christian M. Jensen]

We are aware of the SetBulkUpdate mechanism; however, many of the
widgets do not abide by it and update themselves.

We are using 1.1.8 but from our experience, we have found that
significant API changes occur even on the 0.0.1 level and at this point
it would be difficult justifying a jump up to 1.1.9 if there are any API
changes from 1.1.8.

We have built several of our own widgets using ParaGUI as scaffolding
which may get phased out. What we are looking for is a developer that
worked on the core of ParaGUI as we feel the work is good and in the
right direction but not convinced that sticking with ParaGUI will
satisfy our long term needs.

The other option of course is to mould ParaGUI to our needs, which in my
opinion would ultimately make it a world class product - much like QT.

Any of you up to the task?

Christian

Well, I suppose Alex doesn't mind getting manpower. As long as he/she
doesn't write C code. =:o)

With redrawing unintelligently you mean something like "changing text
of 10 labels leads to 10 redraws"? If so, you may want to look at the
function PG_Application::SetBulkUpdate, which disables these redraws.

And another issue is: the current (developed) version of paragui is
1.1.8 or, as Alex mentioned, the devel-1-1 branch in cvs. The other one
had several problems.
