Hi group,
I am wondering if some widgets exist beyond what I can find in the
standard IDL library distribution. I would like to add the following
functionality to my program:
tabbed draw windows. I can see how this could be done quite easily
with one WIDGET_DRAW (or multiple, each implementation has its own
pros/cons), and a WIDGET_BUTTON with bitmap for each tab. But maybe
this exists somewhere and I do not have to write it...
Another widget that would be nice is floating menus (i.e. right-click,
or shift-click, or whatever anywhere in a WIDGET_DRAW window, and have
a menu, with sub menus, etc. pop up).
Also, I am planning on doing this: Creating hyper-link functionality
in a WIDGET_TABLE. One column will have 'links' (the text will be
image names underlined or a different color), and if the user clicks
on the text/field, the event handler will display the image. This
sounds easy so far. Those of you with widget experience: Is it? Can
you advise of a better way?
I am just getting into widget programming. I understand all of the IDL
widgets, but they are fairly basic. I know of lots of IDL
libraries. I am looking for a library of compound widgets that I do
not yet know about. The Coyote library has 4 or 5 (I am using 2), and
the rest seem to be "widget program examples" more than usable
"compound widgets"
Thanks for any help,
Ken Mankoff
