1127.0. "Decwindows Binding Errors?(ADA!)" by EVOAI2::DAN_M (Maya DAN) Tue Jul 18 1989 07:21

    It seams that the common definitions for the V1.0 Decwindwos bindings
    di incorrectly define the interface to several routines.these errors
    are present in the ADA implementation of the bindings.The bindings
    for other languages suffer from these errors as well.Will be these
    problems corrected in the V2.0 bindings?What I can tell now to an
    important customer developing ADA/DECwindwos-he has problem as I
    already mentioned in this conference-Could he have now the V2 FT1?
    And also I am looking for a time for an ADA widget devloping example!
    thank you for the help

1127.1So? What are they?QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centTue Jul 18 1989 09:1211
    Some errors have already been corrected, but PLEASE give us the
    details of what errors your customer has found.  Perhaps he has
    spotted some we missed.
    
    Your customer cannot have V2FT1 unless he is already a field test
    site.  However, corrections to the Ada bindings are rather easy
    to implement locally, so it would seem to me that an entire
    FT kit is overkill.

Then that means that they are probably errors in the .sdl files used to 
generate the bindings.  Or they could be documentation errors.  Or they
could be user errors.  Could we have a hint at where the problem is??

>    already mentioned in this conference-

This conference is not a place for reporting problems that have to get
fixed for "important customers."  Please submit a QAR.  Or at least give
me a pointer to the note where you have already outlined the problem.  Or
send me mail.  There is nothing we can do with a note like this, and it
is doesn't accomplish anything just to generally state that there are all
these problems and not give the developers the chance to fix them.

ft is out and you can get a copy as outlined in this conference recently.

1127.4EVOAI2::DAN_MMaya DANFri Jul 21 1989 05:1822
My customer problems with AD/DW:
    
They are developping their own widgets in ADA. 
They have 2 main problems :

- the ADA/DECwindows interface documentation (types, argument passing)

- UIL and user defined widgets: they have created several objects. These
  consist of an ADA package (as generic as possible) and this package 
  includes 'generic' widgets etc.According to the project manager, 
  it's very difficult to handle this kind of things with UIL (personally, I  
  haven't the necessary programming experience with ADA/DW to help).

So they ask an ADA widget example.That's very important for their project now.
And probably for some next decisions.I am realy sorry if this note is not at the
right place.
So my question now  is :wher I could find an ADA/WIDGET example?
thank you very much for the help

        The best place to look for examples is usually in the
        ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES conference.
