#9823: BStringView's scripting is disabled ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: ttcoder | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Kits/Interface Kit | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by ttcoder): I use a home-grown GUI debugging tool that retrieves the bounds of each view in a window, and just noticed it does not work for BStringViews. This is not a critical bug by any means, but it seems to be a simple overlook, so it would take just a few seconds to fix by removing the offending code here http://cgit.haiku- os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/interface/StringView.cpp#n334 which clobbers/overrides/disables the scripting code here http://cgit .haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/interface/View.cpp#n4208 Extra points if you guys also augment (not override/disable :-) the base code to add a "Label" property or some such, since this is the one thing that a BStringView has on top of a base BView, though not if it comes at the expense of removing the thingamadokie first, the one that disables the base "Frame", "Hidden" ..etc properties :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9823#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
