[Mono-winforms-list] Introduction, patching, canonization, roadmap.

[Daniel Morgan]

Any new files should be saved with Unix (LF) line ending format.

If you edit a file that has other line ending formats, do not change them.
You need to use a text editor that will preserve the line endings.
It is okay to change the line ending for the line you are editing, but
please do not reformat the whole file.

Reformatting a file to have all Unix (LF) line endings adds noise to
mono-patches plus it destroys cvs history.

Hello,

It would be really nice to switch to one line-termitation style.
The question is - to which one. You probably know that SWF is running
now with GC under Linux. So, IMO it will be logical to select Unix style.

I selected .Net SDK samples as a roadmap for development.
For a moment, the following samples are working under Windows:
Samples\QuickStart\howto\samples\winforms\errorhandler\
Samples\QuickStart\howto\samples\winforms\ownerdrawlistbox\
Samples\QuickStart\howto\samples\winforms\threadmarshal\
Samples\QuickStart\winforms\samples\controlreference\buttonctl\
Samples\QuickStart\winforms\samples\controlreference\checkedlistboxctl\
Samples\QuickStart\winforms\samples\controlreference\comboboxctl\

(It's problematic to run them under Linux now due to missing functionality
in
System.Drawing. )

Also I developed a separate test application for some of Menu* classes,
it's inside CVS.

Regarding the patch:
It is possible to post samples if, in your opinion, the code is not working
and not just comment it and send a patch ? Or better to fix it and send a
patch with
sample or reference to it.

For example:

--- Control.cs 20 Mar 2003 23:05:15 -0000 1.30
+++ Control.cs 21 Mar 2003 10:43:47 -0000
       SubclassWindow();
-
-      CreatorThreadId_ = Win32.GetCurrentThreadId();
-
+      /* vkaluzhny@openlinksw.co.uk = FIXME!!!!
+      CreatorThreadId_ = Win32.GetCurrentThreadId(); */
       OnHandleCreated (new EventArgs());
+
      }

The GetCurrentThreadId is used for ISynchronizeInvoke implementation :
Samples\QuickStart\howto\samples\winforms\threadmarshal\.

And why code in Button.cs is not working :
Samples\QuickStart\winforms\samples\controlreference\buttonctl\.

It's also not clear why Window class registration code moved to Form.cs. Is
it needed to
register class for every Form created ?

Sincerely,
Alexandre Pigolkine

P.S. I am working on ListCtrl derived classes.
