Dick Hollenbeck 7e483f69bd Modular KiCad Blueprint Milestone B), major portions:
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
     get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
  *) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
  *) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
  *) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
  *) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
  *) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
  *) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
  *) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
  *) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
  *) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
     a weak pointer.
  *) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
  *) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
  *) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
  *) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
     and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
  *) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
  *) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
  *) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
     held in the PROJECT.

jean-pierre charras dc745aa62e Fix an annoying behavior of new quasi modal frames on Windows (when closing them, the caller frame was no more on top ) 2014-05-09 20:06:18 +02:00
Dick Hollenbeck 3b0712873a Modular-Kicad milestone B), glamorous portions:
*) Eeschema can now show the footprint editor.

*) Eeschema can now invoke the footprint picker from the library part field editor.

*) KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() takes aResultantFocusWindow that tells what window
   to give the focus to.  Required since frames are often near the top of the
   hierarchy and they are invoked by a peer, not a parent.

Dick Hollenbeck 80a402a369 wx 2.8 now builds, but the quasi-modal support seems broken on 2.8. Wanted others to be able to build at least. 2014-05-04 14:57:44 -05:00
Dick Hollenbeck a2227a75b4 Modular-Kicad milestone B), minor portions:
*) KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is now a retained state, controlled by SetModal()

*) Fully re-work the KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() to use a nested event loop.

*) Add support to DIALOG_SHIM for a "quasi-modal" dialog presentation and mode.
   See top of dialog_shim.cpp about that for benefits and need.

*) You can now pick footprint from the schematic component field dialog, although
   if you do this before you open the BOARD, you will only get the global footprint
   libraries, not also the project specific ones.  Opening the BOARD first avoids this
   problem.

This is the first example of cross KIFACE invocation, it is also the first
instance of using a TOP_FRAME other than FRAME_PCB as the first thing. It works,
but it's missing support for opening the project specific table because
historically the FRAME_PCB did that. This is now starting to expose all the near
term needs for KIWAY_PLAYER <-> PROJECT interaction, independence and out of
sequence usage.

A fix for this will be coming in a few days.

However it mostly starts to show why the KIWAY is terribly useful and important.

Dick Hollenbeck 19c184df97 Change order of headers for wx 2.8, use wxWindowDisabler not ENABLE_DISABLE. 2014-05-03 19:44:57 -05:00
Dick Hollenbeck 991926d320 Modular-Kicad milestone B), major portions:
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY.  Now any major
   frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
   in the whole KIWAY.  Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.

*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
   KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives.  The function
   KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.

*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
   had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
   and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.

*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
   KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
   quickly.  It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
   relationships.

*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
   the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.

*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
   gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.

*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
   these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
   KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
   so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
   modal wxFrame.

On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.

Dick Hollenbeck 0d6560a218 *) Switch kicad.exe to using KIFACE modules for all major top level windows.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
    FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

*)  Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().

*)  Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.

*)  Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
    files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.

      $ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/

    Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
    the binaries can go into the same place.  See python-a-mingw-us.

*)  This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
    coming to the front.  See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.

*)  You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
    instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.

Dick Hollenbeck 5f65d0da93 *) Add KIFACE_I::StartFlags() and IsSingle() so a KIFACE implementation can know
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.

*)  Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
    when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
    specific project.

*)  Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files.  They still have to be
    in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
    when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
    in their original build directories.  For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
    to build/kicad/.

*)  Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
    _pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager.  Got that working for one
    specific invocation just for proof of concept.  Surprise, it works.

Dick Hollenbeck 2c67c3ff80 * KIWAY Milestone A): Make major modules into DLL/DSOs.
!   The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
    all the wxASSERT()s are enabled.  Also, be sure and keep enabled the
    USE_KIWAY_DLLs option.  The tree won't likely build without it.  Turning it
    off is senseless anyways.  If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
    the one tagged with "stable".

*   Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
    targeted purposes:
    a) DLL/DSO specific
    b) PROJECT specific
    c) EXE or process specific
    d) configuration file specific data
    e) configuration file manipulations functions.

    All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
    and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
    loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
    An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
    functionality into the proper box.

*   Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
*   Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
    PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
*   Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
*   Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
*   Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
*   Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
    to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
*   Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
    static construction.
*   Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
    these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
    source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
*   Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
    so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
*   Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
    its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
    returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of.  This is like
    wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
    of construction.
*   Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
    adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
*   No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
    being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
