This weekend and this evening I did some more TopReader development. I got stuck on the right mouse click popup (context menu) for creating folders,adding feeds, … I asked #gnome and Murray<\/a> pointed me to the UIManager class. I have to say this is a nifty thing!!<\/p>\n

For those out there who (like me) didn’t know about this Factory<\/em>, it reads an xml file like the following<\/p>\n

\r\n<ui>\r\n  <popup name=\"channelpopupmenu\" action=\"channelpopup\">\r\n    <menuitem name=\"MarkRead\" action=\"MarkRead\"\/>\r\n  <\/popup>\r\n  <popup name=\"folderpopupmenu\" action=\"folderpopupmenu\">\t\r\n    <menuitem name=\"CreateFolder\" action=\"CreateFolder\"\/>\t\r\n    <menuitem name=\"AddFeed\" action=\"AddFeed\"\/>\r\n  <\/popup>\r\n<\/ui>\r\n<\/pre>\n
In your code you just do this for initializing it<\/p>\n
\r\nuim = new UIManager ();\r\nuim.AddUiFromResource(\"FeedMenu.xml\");\r\n<\/pre>\n
And if you want to show a context menu, you intercept the right mouse click event on your widget and do this little piece of code<\/p>\n
\r\nMenu w = (Menu)uim.GetWidget(\"ui\/channelpopupmenu\");\r\nw.Popup();\r\n<\/pre>\n
The widget is retrieved by the tagname or its actual name
\nAs easy as that!!!<\/p>\n
Now we take it a step further. During initalisation we do this<\/p>\n
\r\nuim = new UIManager ();\r\nuim.InsertActionGroup (group, 0);\r\nuim.AddUiFromResource(\"FeedMenu.xml\");\r\n<\/pre>\n
Where the action group represents a group of Action objects (Duh)<\/p>\n
\r\nActionEntry[] entries = new ActionEntry[] {\r\n    \t\t\tnew ActionEntry (\"MarkRead\", Stock.Cut, \"MarkRead\", null,\r\n                     \"MarkRead\",\r\n                     new EventHandler (OnMarkRead)),\r\n                new ActionEntry (\"CreateFolder\", Stock.Cut, \"CreateFolder\", null,\r\n                     \"CreateFolder\",\r\n                     new EventHandler (OnCreateFolder)),\r\n                new ActionEntry (\"AddFeed\", Stock.Cut, \"AddFeed\", null,\r\n                     \"AddFeed\",\r\n                     new EventHandler (OnAddFeed))\r\n                   };\r\n<\/pre>\n
I haven’t configured them as you can see, all are the Cut Stock item.
\nSo we linked the selection of the context menu item with the designed EventHandler.<\/p>\n
One word: SWEET<\/strong><\/p>\n
What can I do so far with my app, well I can create folders, add feeds, read feeds, mark a whole feed as read. In the backend the feeds get updated automatically. As I mentioned everything is stored in a small sqlite3 database, for 318 items it’s 600 k, not tho much if you ask me. I wonder how much feeds I can archive before I reach the limit of sqlite (thought that was 2 gigs,but not sure)<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you posted (offcourse it’s gonna be opensourced, LGPL probably as I like it more than the GPL)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
