Robby,
Thank you very much, I am happy now with editor running within DrRacket.
By the way, I have made a package, not with the full editor
itself (it is specific to my project), but with the base GUI class
(customizable).
I have registered the package on pkgs.racket-lang.org under the name
spreadsheet-editor. It fails to build, and here is what I am seeing:
http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/server/built/fail/spreadsheet-editor.txt
require: PLaneT could not download the package "williams/table-panel:1":
tcp-connect: connection failed
detail: host not found
address: planet.racket-lang.org
port number: 80
step: 1
system error: Name or service not known; errno=-2
in: (planet williams/table-panel:1:2/table-panel)
At the same time, it all works fine on my system. Do you have an idea
how can it be fixed?
Best regards,
Dmitry

Robby,
Sorry for the long delay in replying.
Never mind---I have been distracted by other things recently, and
now I am back to work on this, so your reply is in fact just in time,
thanks :)
You should be able to use handler:insert-format-handler to open your
frame when a file with your extension is opened via the open dialog.
Good, insert-format-handler will suffice my needs I think.
Dumb question follows: what is the best place to call
insert-format-handler from?
To be more specific about my goals:
I have a Racket installation, and I would like to have this
format handler registered by the moment a user starts DrRacket
and opens some file in it.
I tried and hijacked
/opt/racket/share/pkgs/drracket/drracket/private/main.rkt
to insert my (handler:insert-format-handler) to it, but
this surely does not seem to be a good solution.
My spreadsheet-editing module is currently in a collection
that is "raco link"-ed to the Racket installation. Is there
a way to call (handler:insert-format-handler) from a collection
module before the collection is (require)-d? Or can I form
a package from my collection and use some package mechanism
for that?
Yes. See: http://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/implementing-tools.html
You probably want to call it just from the top-level of your unit (not
from phase1 or phase2).
Also, a related question: what would you recommend for
adding a certain file type to the DrRacket's file->open
dialog, where currently are "Racket Sources" and "Any"?
I think you should call finder:default-filters (using the old value to
construct a new value).
