{{Main article|pui2canvas}} | |||
There's now an XML to Nasal bridge, to keep PUI dialogs working (Disabled by a CMake option) | |||
This is implemented on top of the [[Canvas]] system. | |||
James reported having something in progress locally, and that should even be something we can try in March/April 2022. Hopefully that’s quick enough, knowing it has been a long time coming.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37606439/</ref> | |||
The new code builds equivalent C++ objects to what the [[PUI]] dialogs build, with properties exposed to [[Nasal]]. | |||
Peer objects are created by Nasal [[callbacks]], which can implement the various dialog functions needed to keep compatibility, especially the ‘update’ and ‘apply’ hooks.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/cbd5ef9e7b8f433dbc1ba97bae7d7cfc894e7cef/</ref> | |||
Use the following [[Building using CMake|cmake option]] to enable this code: <code>-DENABLE_PUICOMPAT=ON</code> | |||
The new Compatibility files can now be found in $FG_SRC/GUI: | |||
* {{flightgear file|src/GUI/FGPUICompatDialog.cxx }} | |||
* {{flightgear file|src/GUI/FGPUICompatDialog.hxx }} | |||
* {{flightgear file|src/GUI/PUICompatObject.cxx }} | |||
The corresponding Nasal/Canvas module to dynamically "translate" legacy PUI/XML dialogs into Canvas dialogs (at runtime), is to be found in {{fgdata file|Nasal/gui/XMLDialog.nas}} <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgdata/ci/fe7c87b21a69f88ddb87d89453c48d12b69660e2/</ref> | |||
