  • Created a new component, com.fgm.FGMUtils.ui.LabelContainer, which is a simple bordered container with a label along the top to help with laying out and organizing multiple components.
  • It has the following properties / styles (defaults):
    • label (): text to be displayed along the top
    • labelPlacement (“left”): left, right, or center
    • labelColor (black): color of the label text
    • labelFontSize (whatever application default is): size of the label text, 12 is usually the default of Flex applications
    • labelPadding (5): number of pixels on either side of the label
    • borderAlpha (1.0): alpha of the border lines
    • borderColor (black): color of the border lines
    • borderWeight (1): width, in pixels, of the border lines.  May not exceed the value of borderPadding
    • borderPadding (3): padding between the outside of the component and the border lines
  • A layout may be applied to the container just like another other spark container
  • The component is in the FGMFlexUtils45 Library

  • Added a few utility functions to the arduino sketch to make things a bit easier to use as well as clean up the main loop so its easier to see the flow.  The arduino side seems to be working properly now.
  • Fixed a problem where the pc wasn’t importing the received data properly.
  • The interface is still not updating right.

  • Installed Dong’s new software onto the dual-facing server and added redirects to the instances on Jeff’s server.
  • Notes from meeting with Tangie
    • PA
      • Identifier dropdown needs some kind of labeling, like id:foo, name: bar, etc. The currne tscheme with all the commas doesn’t work
      • The entry screen is getting too busy. We need to clarify the layout
        • Move help to a popup?
        • Choose the visible navigation?
      • Add Kristi’s help and splash screen link to tutorial
      • The grid of attributes sometimes stretches outside the containing panel, we should make the panel wider
      • Incomplete projects should not be listed
      • Too many plurals
      • Confusion between “current” state and “current” month. Let’s change “current” month to “reporting” month
      • Is the cumulative or monthly amount in? I didn’t see it.
    • PPM
      • Add Name to browser tab. Currently it’s “#”
      • Add a button that allows data to be filled on the Edit Project page, not just the financial reporting page

start: 9:40

  • Finished fixing up the arduino side to nto depend as much on the data dictionary
  • Finished the command class which handles commands
  • In the process of fixing the PC side.  The data seems to be passing ok but still not displaying.  Its not getting lost on the arduino side anymore though

  • Going through Phil’s GWT book step-by-step
  • Found a workaround for the broken dialog in the GWT Eclipse plugin (when trying to create a new HTML page and nothing happens):
    • create a new file at ‘myproject/src/com/google/gwt/user/tools/AppHtml.htmlsrc’
    • put the following 1 line in it: ‘<!doctype html>’
    • The dialog should not finish correctly

  • Starting off the day from home. Which means I’m installing GWT. Might as well try it on the new (3.7) Eclipse while I’m at it.
  • Working through the GWT RPC Tutorial, which is not one of their better ones. I think its not been kept up to date. It’s good enough though.
  • Here’s the result. The server is now computing the stock price and sending the result to the client
