Major Powerplant update

1

Introduction

When I began to develop softwares, I searched a powerful framework.

The most powerful I found, was Powerplant from CodeWarrior.

For me in the 2.2 version, it’s the most effective Framework I’ve ever seen.

It lacks of :
- sheet windows
- Drawer windows
- ToolBar Windows
- Metal Windows (in state of prototype)
- and some useful controls (searchfield and comboBox).

To avoid this problem, I rewrite all the core mecanism of Sheet window, drawer Window etc...

You can see the result in some screenshots :

Presentation
Toolbar
Sheet
Navigation
Metal
Controls
TabView

And here is the source code witout the Framework:

I had too to rewrite the navigation service because there was some bugs in the toolbox OS X 10.2.4.

Some visual effects aren’t present for Metal window, it’s possible to develop exactly the same technology but I have to rewrite the control system too (I don’t use the compositing way).

The Metal window hasn’t been finished yet because I developed this technology only in 5 days.
