The design of subclassing is easier then the alternatives IMO; it basically uses the decoration pattern (use google if you don't know that one) to enrich the widget with bindings and things like button handling. Extending for that reason makes perfect sense. _using_ the generated widget class without extending it will only make it really difficult to put values in the widgets and stuff like that cleanly from an OO perspective. > Is there a plan to implement all dialogs to this?

The thing here is that I _would_ be able to fix usability and visual issues when they are .ui (widgets), which makes maintainability a major plus here.. -- Thomas Zander _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
