PageBookView extension with CommonViewer page example

PageBookView seems to have been developed with a very specific use case in mind: The page provides a view that corresponds to some active other view.  In my use case I wish to define a set of predefined view pages that may or may not correspond to other views.

Attached is an extension of PageBookView, called PageStackView, which allows predefined pages to be added to a stack of pages and arbitrarily selected for showing.  Associated with this class is PageView, which is a base class for building predefined views that can be shown as a page.  I've also included an example of a PageView, which uses a CommonViewer with CommonNavigator-like functionality (which partially addresses the issue raised by bug 235768).

Let me take this for the moment, as I think this is really focused on the issue of decoupling the CommonNavigator from the CommonViewer.
Comment 2 Jon Barrilleaux CLA 2009-02-12 13:21:11 EST
Actually, these are two separate issues.  I originally developed this to handle pre-defined page views not based on CommonNavigator/Viewer.

Ok, I have not looked at your patch yet.  Can you file another request that's specific to the CommonNavigator and I will take that one?  Attach your proposed CNF code there.

Back to triage -- this is not mine.

Remy is now responsible for watching the [ViewMgmt] category.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
