Broken with multiple directors: - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk to it. They will most likely talk to the first director. - Possibly some other things I didn't think of. Things to do: - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current director and set the current console as well. - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current console (m_console) and also set its director as the current director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class. - When any page is selected, we must set both the current director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this page is connected to. - We currently have a concept of the current or global console (and Director), and I think we must keep this because the tool bar buttons and menu items can only work with one Director/console. - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do for the console, though some color blind people may have problems. - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console to each page widget constructor. - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which director/console to use. Currently they always use the single global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right). In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple simultaneous directors work. If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Another idea for what you have implemented: - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly should be nested under the item that creates them more like a directory tree. For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what happens for a directory tree.
