*****Where it's at.
|
|
The reduced-fat deskmovr that is part of shdocvw implements the Beta-1 functionality.
|
|
There are two ActiveX controls which work together to provide a move and a size handle
|
|
for components on the active desktop. These controls are added to the desktop html file
|
|
as OBJECT tags by the deskhtml code via the deskmovr.htx template file. There are a dozen
|
|
bugs RAIDed against these controls which are divided between drag perf/flicker bugs and
|
|
miscellaneous quiet failures and work items.
|
|
|
|
*****Where it's going.
|
|
The new UI under design by ChristoB and MarkEn involves substantial changes to the
|
|
appearance and operation of the deskmovr. The two handles are replaced by a frame
|
|
and caption bar, which in turn has buttons to 'close' the component and provide a menu.
|
|
|
|
The basics of the new UI are checked-in under #ifdef NEWVO_UI. The frame-like affordances appear
|
|
and allow the components, both windowed and not, to be moved and resized. The #ifdef code
|
|
reads a bunch of PARAMs that tell it what system metrics to use for size and color of the
|
|
frame and caption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*****What needs to happen for it to get the rest of the way there.
|
|
Resolve painting/flickering bugs. These may be tied to Trident. GaryBu and DinarteM could help.
|
|
Resolve z-ordering bugs. The zIndex style attribute isn't working as expected. LyleC could help.
|
|
Once this is under control, the click-on-caption==bring-to-front can be implemented. Need deskhtml
|
|
support for this. The code formerly known as DeskHTML.dll will need to add zIndex
|
|
style attributes to the desktop components.
|
|
Add close box. Need help from deskhtml.dll to make this work.
|
|
Add menu. Work here is a function of how much ChristoB puts in the menu. Restore to original size
|
|
will require help from deskhtml.dll.
|
|
Porting to CShellOcx, or whatever.
|
|
Remove DeskSizr.cpp/.h from build. With the new UI, it is no longer necessary. It can be dropped from the build
|
|
and removed from the class factory table in sccls.c
|
|
With the NEWVO_UI, the notion of a "partner" control is obsolete. The m_pidmPartner and
|
|
m_pidsPartner members, the get_Engaged and GrabYourPartner methods, and the SizrID
|
|
PARAM are unnecessary.
|
|
Multi-monitor stuff. Unknown at this point, but the window-frame UI should behave consistently with real
|
|
windows in a multi-monitor environment.
|
|
Need deskhtml to name= components by whether they are windowed ( IFRAMEs ) or windowless ( IMG, DIV ).
|
|
The TargetName params of the OBJECTs below should match the names deskhtml assigns.
|
|
This will allow the windowed and windowless instances of the control to target appropriately.
|
|
deskmovr.htx update. The object tags below replace the ones in shell\ext\html\construc\deskmovr.htx.
|
|
After the coloring and metrics are nailed down, most of the new params can go away
