Re: widgets plan proposal

There are more issues to this as well.

You can't really have a directory of widgets where the xwts *only* preapply.
A lot of widget behaviour depends on the preapplies.

For instance, radiobuttons focus is a little different to that of other
focusables.  A radiobutton only accepts focus if it's the selected
radiobutton.  (Before you comment, Press/Release selects a radiobutton, and
I'm talking about win2k behaviour.)

So the behaviour either has to assume the preapply of focus or be with the
preapply of focus.

I'm more on the 2 levels of separation:
1) library separation; stuff homogeneous to all implementations of each
widget
2) theme implementation; xwts that make it easy to develop themes and if
not, provide a good reference for implementing your own stuff based on the
library bits

And I'm also keen on behaviour being separated from the widgets, folder
wise, because it's just easier to manage.

How's about:

xwt.widgets.theme (.lib)
xwt.widgets.[behaviour(long) or adjectives(ugh) or shared(nondescript) or
...] (.lib)

This would actually be a direct translation of what Rod and I are using,
just with different names (standard -> widgets, widgets -> theme, shared ->
behaviour|whatever).
