Windows Widgets!

BUMP

to version 1.2

Now included, a comprehensive Technical guide on the properties usable with the package.  A complete 5900 line long guide of sorts; though as any technical manual... be prepared for a long ride.

But that's not all!

• I created a new configuration page just to handle Storage devices.  Ya know... your hard drives, CDs, and flash drives.
  • Because of that, I moved the config values covering their graphics out of the Basic Configuration page.
    
  • And moreso, the file extensions recognized by the Filebox Widget are no longer hardcoded as it too is now configurable
    
• I deleted an  un-used refresh method from the WidgetFrame Class.  It was no more than a duplicate of what already existed
  
• I removed an unnecessary line that appeared in the Listbox Widget class
  
• And I removed an unused filenames variable from FileSys class.  Only the drive and pathways need to be memorized for the service.
  
• For safety reasons, I added safeguards to the Windows class so negative boundary values cannot accidentally be added.
  
• I deleted unused handler methods from both the Window class and the Background class.
  
• A minor alteration was made to the Right-Click Window class so the window border is now configurable.
  
• Major work was needed to the add_item method within the List Widget class
  • This issue affected all classes that depended upon the List widget (Listboxes, Comboboxes, Right-Click window... etc.)
    
  • For some reason, the standard insert property for arrays was not functioning, forcing the rewrite.
    
• The visible= property is now available for all widgets, with some special considerations
  • Base widgets are drawn on the contents window. If the contents window has a background applied, making a widget invisible will erase that part of the background
    
  • Widgets with scrollboxes have their visibility tied to the window in which they are drawn, and cannot be changed by the property.
    
• The FileBox window now lists all the files shown in alphabetic order
  
• Fixed an issue where files within the filebox were not showing their proper file extension icon
  

Indeed, the latest version of Windows Widgets had some work applied.

Still, some things I may wish to tackle:

• Creating a secondary contents layer so the contents background layer is not adversely hampered by a widget's visibility status
  
• Creating a PictureBox widget 
  
• An extension to the Keyboard control system to [Tab] can cycle through widgets, and hotkeys can be defined
