I recently upgraded to THINK Pascal 3.0 and have been looking into what it
will take to port some existing applications to TCL.
A ubiquitous feature of most Mac applications is the dialog box. There
does not appear to be a class in TCL that maps into the Dialog Manager.
I've noticed that the very nice sample application, Art Class, does not
use dialogs. I appreciate that the equivalent of a dialog can be created
with controls in a window, but then one looses the ease of laying out
dialogs with ResEdit.
What is the "correct" way of implementing dialogs in TCL? What approaches
have TCL programmers tried? Has anyone implemented a Dialog Class? Based
on a new resource type that brings together the new TCL resources (Pano,
ScPn, etc) with existing control resources? Has anyone written a ResEdit
Editor or a standalone application to create these resources ala WYSIWYG?
