[xemacs-hg @ 2004-11-02 09:51:04 by ben] To: xemacs-patches@xemacs.org internals/index.texi: Deleted. Incorporated into internals.texi. Having a separate index file messes up texinfo-master-menu. internals/internals.texi: Add bunches and bunches and bunches and bunches of stuff, taken from documentation floating around in various places -- text.c, file-coding.c, other .c and .h files, stuff that I wrote up for an old XEmacs contract, proposals written up in the process of an e-mail discussion, etc. Fix up some mistakes, esp. in CCL. Extra crap from CCL, duplicated with Lispref, removed. Sections on Old Future Work and Future Work Discussion added. Bunches of other work. Add bunches of documentation taken from the source code. Fixup various places to use @strong{}, @code{}, @file{}. Create new Text chapter, split off from Buffers and Textual Representation. Create new chapter for MS Windows, mostly written from scratch. Consolidate all Mule info under "Multilingual Support". Break up chapter on modules and move some parts to the sections discussing the modules, for consolidation purposes. Add a big cross-reference table for all the modules to where they're discussed (or not). New chapter Asynchronous Events; Quit Checking. (Taken from various parts of the code.) New Introduction. New section on Focus Handling (from the code). NOTE that in the process, I discovered that we essentially have FOUR redundant introductions to Mule issues! Someone really needs to go through and clean them up and integrate them (sjt?).

This path contains test code for the new XEmacs
Drag'n'Drop code.

To test the code do the following:
1) call 'bash droptest.sh' to create the test files in /tmp
2) load and eval droptest.el in XEmacs
3) Try to do some internal DnD by using the sources and targets
   in the new buffer
4) Do some external DnD:
   4a) OffiX: use files and editor of OffiX
              drag something from files or editor into XEmacs
              drag something from XEmacs to xv (only with OffiX patch,
              editor or files -- files can only move and copy within
              itself, cause OffiX is not quite the right thing to do)
   4b) CDE: use dtfile and dtpad instead, but here everything should
            work.
   4c) MSWindows: well, explorer should do. But only file data
                  should work, and I don't know if the test
                  already handles this.

The misc-user-event now also responds as a button-x-event
to the event-* query functions.

The function of a drag is called dragdrop-drop-dispatch
as you can see in droptest.el. From within the function
you can access the actual misc-user-event through the
current-mouse-event variable.

Short description of the object part of a drop misc-user-event:
( TYPE . DATA )
TYPE is either the symbol dragdrop_MIME
     or the symbol dragdrop_URL

DATA is a list of URL strings if TYPE is dragdrop_URL
     if TYPE is dragdrop_MIME DATA is either a string
     which contains the MIME data, or it is a list of
     ( CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT-ENCODING MIME-DATA )
     CONTENT-TYPE is encoded for tm-view (list, first element type,
	rest key.value conses)
     CONTENT-ENCODING is a string
     MIME-DATA is a string

     CONTENT-TYPE and -ENCODING can be directly supplied to mime/viewer-mode.
