Progress indicators #63

Open uliwitness opened 9 years ago

uliwitness commented 9 years ago

We need a progress indicator part, with both indeterminate spinner, indeterminate bar and determinate bar states. Maybe add a determinate spinner that is essentially a pie chart (maybe like iOS download progress) for symmetry.

Again, should default to standard look but be themeable with icons if desired.

I'd call this an advanced starter bug as it involves defining a new type of part, but since that would basically mean copying and pasting e.g. the code for buttons in the parser (Forge), interpreter (Leonie), CLayer and defining a new CButtonPart-like class, then implementing the actual Mac-specific cocoa views (like CButtonPart already does, just for an NSProgressIndicator), this is a good way to get to know the entire codebase in a comparatively painless way. Maybe one could split that up as well. Someone creates a CProgressIndicatorPart, and a beginner then fills out the Cocoa stuff and bridges the properties and tests it.
