11-19-10

Our application contains the following functionality:
  • Switching between full screen and small screen modes
  • We can open a file save/open window
  • In fullscreen mode pressing enter scrolls to the bottoms
    • Exceptions need to be added to this to check if the scroller is at the bottom of the screen or not. If it isn't then the application shouldn't scroll to the bottom
  • Font window under way
  • Tab size is now set to 4 characters instead of 8
  There are still quite a few problems. The font window is impossible to integrate into our main application. File opening and saving are also insanely difficult. Finally, we can't have multiple windows open at once. This is more of a product of our program design rather than an actual problem. We use static processes meaning that multiple windows can't be created.

I've also been working for the UIL competition. I have renewed my knowledge of data I/O streams.

11-2-10 - Progress

Our program now has some new elements(from the last time I posted). Our program now utilizes key shortcuts. Pressing Shift + Enter will move the user from non-fullscreen to fullscreen mode. Also, text entered in the non-fullscreen mode window will appear in the fullscreen window when the user loads it. It is at this point that problems arise. When the user tries to return to non-fullscreen mode, the text doesn't update and the theme changes. Seriously, THE THEME CHANGES. I don't really know how the theme changes because I disabled the theme for the non-fullscreen window. The hierarchy of our program is odd and may require some work. An added feature of the program is that we changed the number of spaces tab produces to 4.
