Hey Miguel,
A number of remote container-side routines have been
implemented as helper functions, e.g. gnome_view_client_do_verb. I've
always found this a little bit unsettling, and I have another idea
which I've implemented for the GnomeViews which you might like.
The idea is to move these routines into the container-side
point-of-contact for the remote containee-side object. So, for
example, gnome_view_client_do_verb() changes to
gnome_view_frame_view_do_verb(). Functions like
gnome_embeddable_client_get_verbs() can change to
gnome_client_site_embeddable_get_verbs().
I think this is much clearer to the developer, since it
provides him with a uniform place to look when he's hunting for a
routine. So for the ViewFrame, for example, I've added the following
routines:
void gnome_view_frame_bind_to_view (GnomeViewFrame *view_frame,
GNOME_View view);
GNOME_View gnome_view_frame_get_view (GnomeViewFrame *view_frame);
void gnome_view_frame_view_activate (GnomeViewFrame *view_frame);
void gnome_view_frame_view_deactivate (GnomeViewFrame *view_frame);
void gnome_view_frame_view_do_verb (GnomeViewFrame *view_frame,
const char *verb_name);
I actually like this quite a lot. Although these aren't
strictly-speaking operations on the GnomeViewFrame, these routines
seem much more at-home here, and they redefine the ViewFrame in a way
that makes sense: A GnomeViewFrame acts as a container-side proxy or
point-of-contact for an embedded GnomeView.
So what do you think? Should I do this to the GnomeClientSite
and stuff as well?
Nat
