User interface for project glob feature
BlueHazzard:
Hi,
i implemented a user interface and scripting interface for the project glob api, that was introduced 7 years ago, but never used over UI:

i think this is a nice feature specially if you use a custom make file.. .
The implementation is currently here https://github.com/bluehazzard/codeblocks_sf/tree/test/UnitsGlob/ui/1
i will provide a patch and a ticket on SF as soon as someone shows interest....
Attached is a screenshot of the UI

What is this control? It looks ugly. Also you need to provide an edit button.
BlueHazzard:
yes it is ugly... It is a wxGrid controll. I tried to use a wxListCtrl, but there you can not edit the second column. I did not wanted to add a second dialog, where you input the parameter and hit ok. With this control you can in place edit everything. Fast and easy...

I will try to add an "search" button in the first column that opens the path control (that one used by the project search paths)... As far as i can see this is also more easily made with the wxGrid control then the wxListCtrl. A other possibility would be wxPropGrid, but i am annoyed by the different implementations in wx2.8 and wx3.0....
More suggestions welcome

It is common for C::B's UI to open secondary dialogs where stuff is edited. I don't know why this bothers you.
wxPG isn't that different in wx28 and 3x from the calling code. The wx3.x is just more buggy. :(

and i hate it... If you want to change one letter in 3 libraries (to add a debug "d" for example) you have to click 12 times 3x(select entry, open dialog, activate, close dialog), instead of 3 times (select entry and set cursor at correct position at the same time)... Quick copy and paste? Naaa forget it... you have open a dialog to get the value... Don't put design over usability, we have this crap everywhere in the new web and programing....
[Edit:] i have found wxDataViewCtrl (http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_data_view_ctrl.html) and will have a look into it. It look like the control we need
[Edit2:] This control is only available wx>2.9 ;(
