|
|
<PRE>I've been enlivened by the recent discussions of Cocoa, Prism, etc.
|
|
so much so that I've now officially dipped my toe into the Mono
|
|
waters. Here are some questions that I can't answer myself at this
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
(1) How does one create a true cross-platform custom control, meaning
|
|
a control that functions both with WinForms and Cocoa? It appears as
|
|
though in the .Net world most custom controls are UserControl
|
|
descendants, which would apparently mean that the custom control is
|
|
WinForms-only. Is there some other way? The custom control I have in
|
|
mind is in a nice fat 1.5MB assembly far to big to consider rewriting
|
|
from scratch and it's a UserControl descendant. It works perfectly on
|
|
Mac with Mono, although the resulting WinForms app it's used in is
|
|
ugly. On most days of the week I'll go ugly rather than nothing, but
|
|
is there any other way?
|
|
|
|
For example, is there some way to drop a Cocoa-simulated UserControl
|
|
below the custom control or would you have to simulate the entire
|
|
WinForms?
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) Is there a way to create a Cocoa app in Mono without using
|
|
a .nib? I've been able to get it down basically to an empty .nib,
|
|
without a main window or main menu, and then create the main window
|
|
and its controls and event handlers in code, but it seems as though
|
|
some kind of application controller class that's linked to a
|
|
minimal .nib is required. I've only done this with Prism and Cocoa#
|
|
so far, but it should work with C# and the other Cocoa wrappers too.
|
|
|
|
I find that creating the UI in code is more satisfying at this point
|
|
than working with IB, which strikes me as sub-RAD. This also
|
|
eliminates the need for [Export] and [Connect] attributes (meaning
|
|
the application controller class is starting to resemble a WinForms
|
|
Form class).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) Is it possible to mix and match the GUI's? For example a
|
|
System.Windows.Forms.Form with a Cocoa main menu. WinForms on the Mac
|
|
is apparently implemented using the Carbon framework, which should co-
|
|
exist okay with the Cocoa framework, but maybe WinForms itself won't
|
|
co-exist with anything else.
|
|
|
|
I appreciate the challenges of cross-platform GUI development, but
|
|
the suggested solution (VM, VS, IB, etc.) sounds like a 12-step
|
|
program designed to wean frustrated Mac developers from their Macs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
