This is my blog, which mainly focuses on the development of Data Tree but also includes posts on developing with RunRev and other thoughts and stories as they spring to mind.

Rather excitingly, I offered my article on document centric applications to the RevUp Newsletter and it was published!

On the subject of Windows and list views

By Steve on 10 January 2009

Actually, whilst I'm blogging about differences between the Mac and Windows, I thought I'd comment on some things that annoy me with list views on Windows, especially Vista.

As I'm developing on the Mac, I've relied at lot upon the Windows UI Guidelines and have used this page an awful lot. Blimey, is this uneccesarily complicated or what?

It's no wonder that people say the Mac's interface is better than Windows'. Not wanting to flame any arguments (not that anybody reads this blog anyway) but when you look at different platforms and see how the same problems have been solved, I usually find that Apple has taken the more difficult but more intuitive approach.

List View - What I've been up to

By Steve on 04 January 2009

The Christmas break has given me some time to carry on working with my list view control, and it has come on in leaps and bounds.

The aim of the control is to provide Rev developers with fairly easy means of implementing a comprehensive list view in their applications. As Rev is multi-platform, I've built the control around three looks: Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Here's an example of the Mac look, complete with the control builder I've been, erm, building. More (larger) examples and details of the features implemented when you click on Read More below.

Up and coming

By Steve on 14 December 2008

You can start a website, blog and all that and have the best desires to do something with it. So after a break of a few months, I've finally got some time to get going again.

Shadow text

By Steve on 11 October 2008

I've uploaded my first library for juicy UI in Rev: Mac OS X Textured Button.

Originally when I put it together, there was something that just wasn't right about it. Scratching my head with snapshots of my button and one from Interface Builder, blown up side by side, I saw that the Mac now gently places a shadow under text on metal windows.

Inspirational

By Steve on 08 October 2008

Whilst reading the RunRev mailing list this evening, I saw a post from Scott Rossi about an upgrade to his site Tactile Media.

As well as showcasing some of his work in the studio and portfolio pages of his site, the software section contains links to commercial add-ons and a wide range of free tutorials and demos. If you thought that Rev was good for laying out boring windows, albeit on three different operating systems, guess again.

A brand new day

By Steve on 05 October 2008

Hello!

Welcome to theworcestersource.com, a website for developers and hobbyists of Runtime Revolution (or just Rev to its users). Whilst I intend to provide some commercial grade libraries and components of my own, I also hope to gather and store code snippets, tips, tricks and approaches to developing software with this great piece of software.

However, I don't intend on doing this on my own, which is why I've spent time setting up this site. It's backed by a content management system, which will allow me to add other people to participate in its creation and maintenance.
