[mcclim-devel] Two questions about McCLIM
by Robert Goldman 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

1. It seems from a recent conversation on #lisp that pointer selection of presentations in McCLIM doesn't work. Is that correct? Was this made so on purpose, or is it a bug? 2. When I type a command name in the interactor pane, the command is executed, however if I try to accept that command name as a command name, it is NOT acceptable, and mousing on the individual words reveal that each is a separate string-type presentation. Is this a bug? Should the command name somehow be recognizable as a command name? And if so, how might this be accomplished?

[mcclim-devel] McCLIM logo at c-l.net

My design-employed significant other created a pixel-identical copy, modulo aliasing, of the McCLIM logo visual at http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/ It can be found at: http://www.feelingofgreen.ru/static/incoming/mcclim.png and is as free to use, as the original version is. regards, Samium Gromoff

[mcclim-devel] does McCLIM want an issue tracker?
by Samium Gromoff 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

The local consensus on #lisp (roughly, lichtblau and me) was that it will do good to have an issue tracker for McCLIM. I volunteer to set up/help setting up one, as well as semi-regularly look through the issues posted there. regards, Samium Gromoff

[mcclim-devel] open-window-stream and :scroll-bars nil
by Samium Gromoff 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

In reasonably[1] fresh McCLIM/CLX i get a sheet with scrollbars out of that form: (open-window-stream :scroll-bars nil) regards, Samium Gromoff [1]: Reasonably as in "a cvs update did net reveal changes in essential areas"

[mcclim-devel] menu items, command arguments and read-frame-command
by Robert Goldman 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

I have a command in my McCLIM application that allows the user to set pathname defaults: (define-taems-mdp-app-command (com-change-taems-filename-defaults :name t) ((pathname 'directory-pathname :default (make-pathname :directory (pathname-directory (taems-pathname-defaults *application-frame*))) :prompt "New default TAEMS model directory?")) ...) You will see that it takes one argument. I have put it in the file menu of my application, and when I try to invoke it, McCLIM crashes with the following error: Error: KAUAI-GRAPHER::COM-CHANGE-TAEMS-FILENAME-DEFAULTS got 0 args, wanted 1 arg. [condition type: PROGRAM-ERROR] Restart actions (select using :continue): 0: Return to application command loop 1: Abort entirely from this (lisp) process. [Current process: TAEMS CLIM Grapher] [1] CL-USER(1): :bt Evaluation stack: GRAPH-MDP::COM-CHANGE-TAEMS-FILENAME-DEFAULTS <- (METHOD CLIM:EXECUTE-FRAME-COMMAND (CLIM:APPLICATION-FRAME T)) <- (METHOD CLIM:DEFAULT-FRAME-TOP-LEVEL (CLIM:APPLICATION-FRAME)) <- (:INTERNAL (:EFFECTIVE-METHOD 1 T ...) 0) <- (:INTERNAL (MOP:CLASS-DEFAULT-INITARGS GRAPH-MDP::TAEMS-MDP-APP :TOP-LEVEL-LAMBDA) 0) <- (METHOD CLIM:RUN-FRAME-TOP-LEVEL (CLIM:APPLICATION-FRAME)) <- (METHOD CLIM:RUN-FRAME-TOP-LEVEL :AROUND ...) <- (:INTERNAL (:EFFECTIVE-METHOD 1 T ...) 0) <- (:INTERNAL GRAPH-MDP:RUN-GRAPHER 0) My understanding from reading the manual is that when I invoke this command from the menu, it should prompt me to accept the arguments. add-menu-item-to-command-table [Function] Arguments: command-table string type value &key documentation (after :end) keystroke text-style (errorp t) button-type s Adds a command menu item to command-table's menu. The arguments are: command-table Can be either a command table or a symbol that names a command table. string The name of the command menu item. The character case and style of string are ignored. This is how the item will appear in the menu. type This is one of: :command, :menu, or :divider. (:function, called for in the CLIM spec, is not supported in this release.) When type is :command, value should be a command (a cons of a command name followed by a list of the command's arguments), or a command name. (When value is a command name, it behaves as though a command with no arguments was supplied.) In the case where all of the command's required arguments are supplied, clicking a command menu item invokes the command immediately. Otherwise, the user will be prompted for the remaining required arguments. [from the Allegro CLIM manual; the online spec has similar wording.] Can anyone say why McCLIM is crashing here? It seems like the read-frame-command :around method should have invoked command-line-remaining-arguments-for-partial-command. The code is here: (defmethod read-frame-command :around ((frame application-frame) &key (stream *standard-input*)) (with-input-context ('menu-item) (object) (call-next-method) (menu-item (let ((command (command-menu-item-value object))) (unless (listp command) (setq command (list command))) (if (and (typep stream 'interactor-pane) (member *unsupplied-argument-marker* command :test #'eq)) (command-line-read-remaining-arguments-for-partial-command (frame-command-table frame) stream command 0) command))))) Is it possible that the stream is not an interactor-pane when the menu item is selected? For other commands, I have kludged around this problem and made them take no arguments and just accept them "by hand," as it were... Any help would be much appreciated. thanks, R

[mcclim-devel] slider panes and :number-of-tick-marks
by Samium Gromoff 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

In cvsly fresh McCLIM/CLX i get a slider pane without tick marks out of that form: (make-pane 'slider :min-value 0 :value 0 :max-value 10 :number-of-tick-marks 3) Although quantization (:number-of-quanta) works all right. regards, Samium Gromoff

[mcclim-devel] Gtkairo and UTF-8
by David Lichteblau 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi, thanks to recent cffi improvements, Gtkairo supports UTF-8 now. However, it will only build with the cffi-newtypes branch. http://common-lisp.net/~loliveira/darcs/cffi-newtypes/ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.cffi.devel/1034 d.
