good day all,
The recent discussion about groups of radio-buttons made me wonder, why
do I feel like I'm the only one who uses Prefab around here? To solve
the problem of a group of radio buttons, you simply draw a drame and put
the radio buttons inside of it. I remember you have to do something
similar in REALbasic, and probably VB (guessing).
Yet, prefab doesn't do everything. Right now, it has widgets for a
button, check button, multi-line text area, single-line edit field,
frame, label, list-box radio-button and scrollbar. That's fairly
comprehensive, and I use it for whipping stuff together when I would
usually use something like REALbasic.
Is there anyone working on this still? I plan on adding some widgets,
but I don't want to duplicate any work. I think someone on this list
said they were working on beeinf up BobsUI, but I don't think anyone is
working on Prefab. With Prefab, you can draw your UI and generate a
build-method. Absolutely delicious.

The truly incredibly thing about Prefab, unlike a lot of packages,
especially GUI ones, is that it works on Squeak 2.7 up to 3.2 (by my own
testing- probably works on 3.3a, maybe 2.6!).
I think it being early has taken a toll on my college-aged brain-
Regards,
Aaron
