About 5 years ago I spent many hours developing an application that
needed to display run-time graphics (similar to but not the same as
horizontal bar charts). I used WEL because, at the time, it seemed to
me to have more capability than Vision (even though I regretted dooming
it to a Windows-only future). I even created an Eiffel interface to 2
Windows widgets, the DateTime Picker and Calendar, not supplied with
the WEL distribution. Best of all, it worked! and was very fast and
efficient.
Then I got dragged into overtime projects at my real job, and sadly,
let it slip.
When I downloaded EiffelStudio 6.x a few months ago and tried a few
demo apps, I was especially impressed with the graphics capabilities of
the IDE. Apparently Vision2 is much improved over its predecessor. The
thought occured to me, why not dust off the old project and redo it
using the Vision2 library? Now you're tempting me even more! I'm
weakening.
I assume if I wanted to use a calendar/date widget in Vision2, that I'd
need to roll my own, correct? (I don't see anything like that skimming
the Vision2 documentation.) Is the help that comes with EiffelStudio
the best source for information on Vision? Something like Maughan's
and Simon's excellent book on WEL would be ideal.
