I'm not sure from your direct reply whether you wanted this to go to the list.
Whoops, my mistake.
I am considering using graphic-forms in an upcoming, non-trivial, project, but still have a couple of reservations. I see that the list isn't very active - what are your plans for graphic-forms (if any)?
I have not actively worked on it for a number of months. It's always nice to have users, though, so my activity level could increase again.
and I notice that a couple of things are still missing - eg. combo-box.
Oh yes, there is quite a bit of functionality to be added, see the bug tracker at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=163034&atid=826145
minor annoyances: is there a reason for manually configuring the paths in config.lisp (rather than using *load-pathname*)?
Just that I hadn't thought of a better way than the current mechanism (and back then, I was still inexperienced with Common Lisp).
also, I couldn't access any of the content in the downloadable chm help file.
That is really odd. At one time, the chm file was perfectly usable. But I've now downloaded what is on SourceForge and tried it on two machines, one with IE6 and other with IE7, and I see the same problem. I suspect that simply rebuilding the chm file will result in one that is usable, at which point that could be uploaded to SF.net.
Attached is a small patch for the asd file - I was getting rgb->color undefined errors...
Thanks!
My testing so far has gone very smoothly, and you have obviously put a lot of effort into the implementation, so I am positively inclined to use graphic-forms at this point.
Thanks for your feedback, Hugo. I can't promise anything specific, but I'm encouraged to make some time available to work on Graphic-Forms and support you and other folks who are trying to use it. Please keep sending your feedback and/or bug reports as you encounter issues.
