/sigh I don't think that's been fixed. You know how, when you initially write an app, that you pretty go in and create a good 80% of what it's supposed to look like, it finally all works together, and for at least three minutes you feel like you can rest and call it done? That's where Mono's Windows.Forms support is. It's a great, horrendously impressive beta. Tons of stuff is there, and I can use straight C# to get it all to work, no silly workarounds.

But then, that last 20% is obviously lacking. I can't get SelectionBackColor on RichTextBoxes. There's potentially no working Shortcuts on MenuItems.

And the Mono IRC channels says Windows.Forms is dead. I guess if I was bright enough I could fix it myself, but I don't believe the place I need to fix (some drawing lib) is even written in C#.

I'm really impressed the community got this far, but they didn't quite make the Mozilla turning point before the steam disappeared. It's a "write once, rewrite your GUI everywhere" situation. I guess that's okay, but it makes me wonder how much time to sink into writing the Windows.Forms app before I make sure I understand XCode's Interface Builder.

In other news, Blogger is finally starting to get backwards compatibility right. The old-style BlogThis! bookmark now opens a window that, I think, is starting to get blockquote closer to right (still borked, though), and also expands from its old size to one large enough to see the whole window now. Saves me the trouble of editing the old bookmark's javascript, which I'm embarrassed to say I still haven't. I just resized the window each time I got the new interface.

From Daring Fireball:

Redesigned iPod Shuffle, With VoiceOver

Sounds like a clever idea.

I was going to blog that it wouldn't be long before Gruber was gloating a bit, but it appears I've been beaten to the punch.

The new shuffle looks neat. Apple's still just barely one step ahead on every facet of ~~mp3~~ portable digital music players, even in markets where it's essentially the only player (the Shuffle). The only drawback here is that there's no interface whatsoever on the player itself, tying you to Apple for your earphones no matter what, it appears. That sux0rz. Seriously. I like to drag around $1 Big Lots headphones so I don't mess up anything important when I'm iPodding (even when I'm iPodding with the new Creative player I ordered... my (hrm, monitor, Peek, mp3 player, and U2 album?) fourth purchase that cnet's Cheapskate has impulsed me into).

Also not surprised to see that Apple's surprised with the amount of refreshed desktops they've sold. The new Mini rocks, especially when you're upgrading from G4s. Even from integrated Intel, it'd be a bonus. And yes, I'm enjoying my iPhone emulator and Xcode.

Using Interface Builder in Xcode 4 for Mono dev To look at later to help with using MonoDevelop to make Mac apps: Transitioning from Xcode 3 to Xcode 4 - Xamarin: Introduction to Interface Builder v4.0 Although Interface Builder is now integrated into Xcode, it’s still largely the same, with the exception of how Outlets and Actions are now created and wired up. Specifically, it gives you the ability to create an Outlet or an Action and wire it up to a control all in one step. If you believe what you're told, though the above link is for MonoTouch, MonoMac is similar. Labels: mono, monomac, noteToSelf, xcode posted by ruffin at 5/31/2012 11:56:00 AM
