I see you are still determined to push your ideas.
Is it nasty "pushing" just to state what you think is going to be useful
for the community, when the chance occurs ?
Please, Please, please, do everyone a favour and get started on it.
In fact, right now I do have a concept in my head that really might work
(i.e. can sensibly be done without the need to completely re-do the
internals of the WidgetType stuff in the LCL which obviously does not
make sense) .
I immediately would start, if I would have the spare time and/or the
need. I _can_ do some researching as a background task and collect the
results for me or anybody else who might be interested. When I started
the research, I did have the need, as I was willing to do a large
project that runs in a headless embedded Linux box. Unfortunately the
company's focus changed towards a (lower featured) non-Linux
implementation :-( .
All the time you spent on mails about this by now dwarfs the time
needed to actually implement it.
I don't really agree. Even a long lasting mere research _is_ helpful. As
well for me as for everybody else who might might be willing to
implement something useful, because he either has the spare time or the
need to use it.
In fact, during this low priority research, I only recently came across
WebSockets. If I would have actually started to implement anything
before, silly me would have ignored this possibility. Right now, I am
positive that an implementation of something that might finally result
in a Web GUI (similar to what "ExtPascal" was up to, nowadays based on -
say - "CustomDrawn" and a JavaScript that implements a limited count of
"basic" widgets in the Browser) should actually done based on
In fact I am watching CustomDrawn and - even some spare time available -
I would not start to implement anything (that in fact should support
both "embedded WEB GUI" as "CGI") before I am rather convinced that I
can do this based on CustomDrawn.
