What is the best way to add new item types to XView 2.0's Panel package ??? Currently I am making some display only items (decorations) such as lines, boxes, circles, etc. I have been simply making a PANEL_MESSAGE type item with no message and XV_SHOW FALSE, then adding my own attributes with XV_KEY_DATA. Then when the panel receives a repaint call I cycle through all the items in the panel and handle the redraw for the new item types i have defined. I noticed a Panel item type "PANEL_EXTENSION_ITEM" in panel.h but have had no luck trying to use it.

The current source distribution on expo.lcs.mit.edu contains a sample panel extension package that apparently adds dials (like the perfmeter icon) to panels --- I say apparently because I haven't got around to compiling it yet. You might want to take a look at it: it's in .../xview2/contrib/perfdemo. You should also note the warnings in the README file. Chris Flatters
