Re: [e4-dev] e4 PageBook

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

JD, this is a case where we may want
to augment the UI Model itself...this was one of the things that Tom and
I were discussing. Ideally we need a concept of a 'composite part' that's
not only an MPart but also an MPartSashContainer.

what makes this a bit sticky is that
it means we'll have to be clearer on what the 'active' part is since we
now have a hierarchy of parts, not a single layer. I'm off until next Wednesday
but let's talk about this one then.

Onwards,
Eric

In porting the Console view, I am having to recreate the
PageBook functionality.  I had the thought (I know dangerous ;-) )
to create a PageBook and Page as model extensions to MPart and MUIElement
respectively.  I know that this would not be possible right now, but
would this be a desired approach?  Or should I just recreate the Page
and PageBook functionality (independent of the workbench model)?

(the thought stems from how a Page interacts the the view/part
toolbar and menu)
