May 18 17:31:14 <UnixTitan> am I the only one that feels combo should be one widget not two and that when any part of the combo is clicked it opens/closes?
May 18 17:31:45 <UnixTitan> seems to me thats the way most toolkits do it and it is the expected behavior
May 18 17:34:11 <hyakuhei> The path of least surprise
May 18 17:34:29 <hyakuhei> if it is conceptually one thing (one choice, selection) then of course it should be one widget
May 18 17:34:49 <UnixTitan> hyakuhei, I meant the header
May 18 17:34:55 <hyakuhei> heh
May 18 17:35:06 <UnixTitan> the header is two widgets.. the actual label and then the button that opens/closes it
May 18 17:35:16 <hyakuhei> well that just sounds silly
May 18 17:35:20 <UnixTitan> I agree
May 18 17:35:29 <UnixTitan> you have to click the little button to open/close it.
May 18 17:35:32 <hyakuhei> Is there a situation where you would want one without the other?
May 18 17:35:41 <hyakuhei> ah, thats also odd
May 18 17:35:42 <UnixTitan> the generally used method is clicking anywhere on the combo open/closes it
May 18 17:35:49 <hyakuhei> indeed
May 18 17:35:59 <UnixTitan> thats why I'm asking if it should be reworked
May 18 17:36:01 <UnixTitan> pfritz, ?
May 18 17:36:40 <pfritz> I guess it is, because when you want to have the header be editable
May 18 17:37:13 <UnixTitan> no doubt
May 18 17:37:24 <UnixTitan> but the point is the combo could simply be a container.
May 18 17:37:30 <UnixTitan> (hbox/vbox/cell...)
May 18 17:37:38 <UnixTitan> and be themed to look like it does now
May 18 17:37:45 <UnixTitan> and have the whole thing one widget that way
May 18 17:38:00 <UnixTitan> and that way when any part of it is clicked it opens/closes
May 18 17:38:09 <pfritz> UnixTitan, i understand your point
May 18 17:38:09 <UnixTitan> and it can have entries/labels/texts/images etc inside of it.
May 18 17:38:46 <UnixTitan> pfritz, but do you think something should be done?
May 18 17:39:25 <pfritz> UnixTitan, for now I'm unsure we first need to figure out how to handle editable headers
May 18 17:39:55 <pfritz> they don't work currently, but when found a good solution for them
May 18 17:40:16 <UnixTitan> when you said editable i thought you meant entries
May 18 17:40:20 <UnixTitan> what do you mean by editable?
May 18 17:40:23 <pfritz> we eventl. can change the header to be one button
May 18 17:40:56 <pfritz> like url field in your browser
May 18 17:41:01 <pfritz> *the
May 18 17:41:11 <UnixTitan> right
May 18 17:41:15 <UnixTitan> why don't entries work?
May 18 17:41:45 <pfritz> entries could work haven't test it
May 18 17:42:02 <UnixTitan> ewl test uses an entry
May 18 17:42:04 <pfritz> but there is a function ewl_combo_editable_set
May 18 17:42:09 <pfritz> that doesn't work
May 18 17:42:31 <UnixTitan> eh?
May 18 17:44:28 <pfritz> oh, maybe it works, heh
May 18 17:44:42 <UnixTitan> yea lol
