I use Mac Mail. I've not had problems sending zip file attachments before, but you never know.
Did the zip file come through when I posted it to the list? Cheers Chris On Jun 16, 2011, at 9:37 AM, John J. Boyer wrote:
What e-mail program are you using? Some of them have their own ideas about how to handle attachments.

This is something that will be wanted eventually, and I am quite surethat the it will be easier if the framework is present early on. Itdoesn't seem like it should be diffiecult. The WPManager keeps a list of active documents, which are embodied in instances of DocumentManager. The user can move amonng the doucuments, as in any word processor. Therequest for another document will come from an item in BBMenu, whichis a chile of the active DocumentManager. The new document should not itself be a child of this DocumentManager. it should be a child of WPManager. So It seemed to me that the ntural way to do this would be tosend on OpenDocument event, which woudl be caught by an OpenDocument listener in WPManager. Is this your understanding? Are you trying to make things easier for me at this point? That will probably producemuch more difficulty down the road. In any case, I need to master the event-listener technique. I've never been able to get much out of the swt examples page, even in IE. Instead of just giving links to the examples they want me to go to the downloads page and then find the examples. I must confess that I'm really bad at finding anything on the Web.Another thing I would like to find is a zip file like those for SWT,for Jface, which contains both source code and a jar. I don't want to give the impression of being a complainer, but it seemsto me that the Eclipse sites are downright unfriendly. What are theythinking of?

You may want to take alook at the SWT example code available from http://www.eclipse.org/swt/examples.php - there are some pretty nice non-Eclipse demo programs there that can help you decide how best to structure the application.

When the Opeen,New or Import item is selected the listener calls the sendOpenEvent method inthe DocumentManager, with an int parameter specifyingthe action tobe taken. This method creates an instance of Event and places the parameter in the detail field. It then calls notifyListeners on the DocumentManager's Shell with SWT.OpenDocument and the event. When it started, WPManager used addListener on the Display, which is the only SWT class it has, to add a listener for the OpenDocument event. The handleEvent method in this listener calls the addDocument method in theWPManager. This creates a new instance of DocumentManager and addsit to the ArrayList of active documents. However, this never happens. It is not necessary to generate an event for the Close menu selection, since this process occurs entirely withing the DocumentManager. The listener merely sets an exitSelected boolean to true. The normal event loop also tests the value of this boolean, and if it is true the DocumentManager does what is necessary to close the document and exits. The addDocument method in the WPManager, which created this instance of DocumentManager then sets its reference in the list of active documents to null, so the garbage collector can dispose of it, and then removes the reference from the list of active documents.

The listener gets called when the user selects that menu item; you can then create and open a file dialog to allow the user to select the file and create your XOM tree, views, etc. You can also use a SelectionListener on a "Close" menu item to close the active document and free resources.

WPManager creates an instance of DocumentManager which creates instances of BrailleView, SaisyView, BBMenu BBToolbar and BstatusBar. DocumentManager handles everything relating to a single document. When the user choses the Open, New or Import items on the menu it calls notifyListeners on its Shell. WPmanager has previously registered alistener for the IpenDocument event on the display. The listeneris supposed to call a method which creates a new document and adds it to an ArrayList of documents. However, the listener never hears anything. What is wrong? Thanks, John -- John J.
