== December 21, 2009 : Meeting Results and The Way Forward ==
We had another meeting last Thursday and even though we didn't have CJ with us, it was still effective. For now, the way forward seems relatively clear. Out of the meeting, we've decided on the following project requirements:
# An IO_Control class will be implemented that will handle the normal operations of the text editor. This class will hold the one true instance of the IO_Menumgr class and will be responsible for interfacing with the menu. The IO_Form class will be modified to hold an IO_Control pointer to its IO_Control owner.
# An IO_Settings class will be implemented (already complete) that will save, load, and give access to all subsequent project settings such as word wrapping. The classes IO_Field and IO_Control will each hold a pointer an IO_Settings instance. IO_Form will be responsible for passing the IO_Settings object to newly created IO_Fields from its IO_Control owner.
# IO_Filemgr will be further developed by Ausley. It will be able to open file records and control their read and write operations.
# Some extension classes will be developed. These classes will be derived from the other generic control classes (eg IO_Form, IO_Menu, etc...) and will be specific configurations of those classes. For example, a derivation of IO_Form will be preferences window known as IO_PrefForm. Currently, the list of extension classes slated for creation is as follows:
#* IO_EditorForm (IO_Form -> IO_EditorForm)
#* IO_PrefForm (IO_Form -> IO_PrefForm)
#* IO_MsgBox (IO_Form -> IO_MsgBox)
#* IO_BtnGrp (IO_Menu -> IO_BtnGrp)
So there we go, hopefully we can whip this stuff out in short order.
