A technique to use the GtkTreeView with a Proxy design pattern for the items in a list model. This technique (this pattern) gives you the possibility to use rich real subjects in enormous amounts in a Model View Controller paradigm like the GtkTreeView story on devices and or platforms with few memory resources. A sample implementation would, for example, have a memory expensive MsgHeader instantiation. The proxy's however, aren't expensive for the memory.

I've done this to block spam bots. http://www.pvanhoof.be/wiki/index.php/Smart_ways_of_using_GtkTreeView The maemo wiki isn't read-only. On this page I try to explain how we could enhance the osso-email application by 'simply' redesigning it ;-) http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ImprovementIdeasForOssoEmail Suggestions and other techniques are welcome. It would be nice if other people would send me (to the wiki or by asking a login or e-mail) their design pattern implementations in a GObject style piece of code. If you did such stuff before: I'm highly interested in your work. Let's share it and put it on wiki's, webpages and documentation. For many application developers it's probably even more important than the many "performance" efforts on the libraries (being done these days by people like Federico -- thank you for that, by the way) to have a great documentation about techniques and implementing design patterns in GObject. I'm not saying the performance efforts aren't good or shouldn't be happening. I contrary. But also our application developer should be well educated not to use wrong techniques for less trivial designs. -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer at x-tend home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend dot be http://www.pvanhoof.be - http://www.x-tend.be _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
