Hi Thanx for your response david ... .though i was excpecting better responce from other zopists in this mail list , but i suppose they are happy with there dreamweaver/emacs/ or plain zope ... anyway i keep up with my work ... well u mentioned it would b easy to make wyswyg in windows platform easier; i seriously dont belive itthough there are many resons. I still adhere to making it platform independent ... well if u wanna play with some codes www.manning.com/grayson -- it has the source codes of the "Python and Tkinter " book . see the GUI building on cross platforms ... itz really astonishing .. As of now , i have Tkinter in my pocket , which comes with every python installation ... so no problem making a GUI . I want to concetrate more on interation of Zope and ur IDE ... My main hurdle is lack on Documentation on zope ( DC are u listening? ) .. most of the stuffs has to b read and understood from the source itself .... yesterday - whole day i was wondering which is a way to taking the object values to make a tree widget .. 1.via zope itself calling manage_menu which inturn calls Treetag.py ( inside <zope>\lib\python\TreeDisplay ) .. thats how zope draws ur tree in manage panel... reasons why i discard it is that it gives me the HTML tags ( most of which are only understood by zope itself like icons ) i dont want HTML i want something like a list/tuple of object , its url , itz icon . 2. so i jumped to XMLRPCserver ...well though itz a think client .. im still stuck how to get authenticated in XMLRPC ( im sure there is a way to get it .. but dunno how ) ... authentication is requred to access http://zope:8080/manage_menu 3.FTP / WebDav : On Guesses for this , though i hope to get a ans soon on this .. in the mean time .. i need some smart answers ;) -Raj --- David Burton <eloquence@eloquent-designs.f2s.com> wrote: > Depending on your wishes or requirements to make
this platform agnostic, it may potentially prove easiest to write something WYSIWYG as a Windows-only
system in VB or Delphi, using M$'s DHTMLEdit control to handle generation of XHTML for pages. That would make the WYSIWYG very much like FrontPage...
It sounds like this would be substantially different from your current plan, but it would take care of most of the WYSIWYG elements, but you could use the Windows Scripting Host to embed Python code within the program, to leverage your Python knowledge.
That's the way I'd consider doing things if WYSIWYG is important over platform-agnosticism. If you are interested in exploring doing an IDE in this manner, let me know as I'd be interested in helping develop such a system (so long as the licence is suitably LGPL-like to allow commercial distribution).
Yours, David Burton
