This book has been written by XFolder's and XWorkplace's original author, Ulrich M”ller, to introduce you to the world of XWorkplace programming.
This book covers two different things:
See "National Language Support" for more information.
See "The XWorkplace Source Code" for a general introduction and how to compile.
See "Source Code Details" for information about specific XWorkplace features and their implementation. This is useful for contributors.
See "Adding Features to XWorkplace" for information about how to hook your own code into XWorkplace.
xworkplace-dev@yahoogroups.com
, which is the mailing list for XWorkplace
developers.
But if you want to start writing WPS classes, please don't start asking things like "What is an IDL file?". If you have never created a WPS class, please read the excellent courses at EDM/2 (www.edm2.com) first, which explain a lot of things to get you started. As far as I know, XWorkplace is the most complex WPS source code available, and it probably does not serve very well as a WPS beginner's tutorial.
Thanks!
