15:52:22frgoPanes, gadgets, ... Woa - when to use what? That's the question ;-) Still *blood* *new* to CLIM. I'm trying to build this: https://i.imgur.com/hDdsE1v.png and I need to make pushbutton size and area sizes variable. Furthermore, I need to be able to draw figures and symbols / icons on all the pushbuttons.
16:05:53jackdanielregarding layout: http://hellsgate.pl/files/e57b0fdb this resembles more or less what you want
16:06:24jackdanielregarding push buttons, you'd have to subclass and customize handle-repaint for it so you can do this magic stuff you mention
16:06:43jackdaniel(see my latest video on creating new widgets)
16:19:44jackdanielI have (in a work tree) a hack which makes gadgets play nice with streams (so you could inherit from both basic-gadget and an application pane), but it is not ready
16:20:19frgowhat would be the advantage of using a gadget?
16:21:00jackdanielin principle gadgets are meant for adaptive toolkit (I plan to include an explanation in the next video)
16:21:21jackdanielin principle: you may put a Qt widget in CLIM application and make it a gadget
