from ButtonControllerBase::readOnly. Updates the state of the widgets
in the read-only list only when the read-only status of the document
changes.
(refresh): moved this stuff into refreshReadOnly.
2001-05-18 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>

2001-03-23 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlDialogs.h: moved class ControlInset into its own file.
* ControlInset.h: new file. class ControlInset has been expanded to take
two template parameters, Inset and Params. Believe that all inset
controllers can be derived from this with the minimum of effort.
* ControlBibitem.[Ch]:
* ControlBibtex.[Ch]:
* ControlCitation.[Ch]:
* ControlCommand.[Ch]: moved most code into ControlInset.
* lots of files. Moved protected stuff into private where possible.
* ControlError.[Ch]:
* ControlInclude.[Ch]:

2001-03-23 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlCredits.[Ch] (getCredits): returns a stringstream not a
vector<string>.
2001-03-23 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <Jean-Marc.Lasgouttes@inria.fr>
* ControlCredits.C (getCredits): remove std:: qualifier for
getline().
2001-03-23 Lars Gullik Bjønnes <larsbj@trylle.birdstep.com>
* ControlCredits.C (getCredits): add std:: on vector
2001-03-22 Lars Gullik Bjønnes <larsbj@trylle.birdstep.com>
* ControlCredits.C: remove using that is only used once, use
std::ios instead of std::iosbase, add some annoying comments.
2001-03-22 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* lots of header files: improved explanatory notes.
* ControlBase.[Ch]: removed LyXView & lv_ and methods using it.
ControlBase is now a class that only controls the interaction of the
View with the ButtonController.
* ControlConnections.[Ch]: added LyXView & lv_ and associated methods
to ControlConnectBase. The class controls the connection/disconnection
of signals from the LyX kernel and makes available the kernel (through
lv_) to daughter controller classes.
Moved out class ControlConnectInset to a new file ControlDialogs.h.
* ControlDialogs.h: new file. Contains the definition of two template
controller classes, ControlDialog and ControlInset (was
ControlConnectInset). ControlInset is a parent class for controllers
of inset-popups. ControlDialogs is the rather uninspired name for
the base class of all non-inset popups. (Eg, Document and Paragraph.)
ControlDialogs is reaching a state of maturity as several popups now use
it and its functionality becomes clear. ControlInset is still in a state
of flux. It is likely that functionality will be moved out of
ControlCommands and into it.
* GUI.h: new file. Moved all the template GUIXXX classes out of the
individual Controller header files and into one place. These classes
serve only as convenient wrappers to simplify code in the respective
frontends' Dialogs::c-tor. Now all derived from a templatised parent.
* ControlCharacter.[Ch] (show, update, hide):
* ControlLog.[Ch] (show, update, hide):
* ControlVCLog.[Ch] (show, update, hide): moved back into
the ControlDialogs base class.
(setParams, clearParams): new methods containing controller-specific
code to set/reset the parameters manipulated by the view.
* ControlCommand.[Ch] (clearParams): a new virtual method, by default
empty.
(hide): calls clearParams.
* ControlCitation.[Ch] (hide): renamed as clearParams, a method called
by ControlCommand::hide().
* ControlCopyright.[Ch]:
* ControlCredits.[Ch]: new files; controllers for the copyright and
credits popups, respectively.
2001-03-21 Lars Gullik Bjønnes <larsbj@trylle.birdstep.com>
* ControlCharacter.C: fix typo
2001-03-21 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlCharacter.[Ch]: new files; controller for the character popup.

functors.
* Makefile.am: added new files.
2001-03-20 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlCitation.C (getBibkeyInfo): parse non-BibTeX entries correctly.
2001-03-20 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>

2001-03-19 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlBibtex.[Ch]: new files; controller for an InsetBibtex popup.
* Makefile.am: added ControlBibtex.[Ch].
2001-03-16 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlBibitem.C:
* ControlCitation.C: added "using SigC::slot" declaration.
* ControlCitation.C (getStringFromVector): re-apply Dekel's recent fix
to FormCitation.C prior to the merger: "Do not put space between
multiple keys".
2001-03-15 Lars Gullik Bjønnes <larsbj@trylle.birdstep.com>
* several files: remove CXX_WORKING_NAMESPACES
* ButtonController.h: noncopyable is in namespace boost
* ButtonPolicies.h: ditto
2001-03-14 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* Merging changes from BRANCH_MVC back into HEAD.
2001-03-12 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* Makefile.am: add ControlBibitem.[Ch].
* ControlBibitem.[Ch]: new files that together define the Controller
for a Bibitem popup.
* ControlCommand.h (c-tor): give kb_action a default value of
LFUN_NOACTION.
* ControlCommand.C (apply): do nothing if kb_action is LFUN_NOACTION.
* ControlCitation.[Ch]: moved search functions out of class.
(bibkeysInfo): new method. Returns const reference to private data.
(searchKeys): added case-sensitive switch. Used only by simpleSearch
for now.
2001-03-09 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlCitation.[Ch]: added Search functions to the class,
(shamelessly lifted from Marco's gnome code). I think that these would
be better as helper functions outside the class, but this is a first
stab at it.
2001-03-07 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ControlCitation.[Ch]: (getBibkeyList): removed from class
ControlCitation.
(getBibkeys, getBibkeyInfo): added to class ControlCitation.
(getStringFromVector, getVectorFromString, parseBibTeX): new helper
funcs. parseBibTeX() is lifted staraight out of Marco's gnome
implementation of FormCitation.
2001-03-05 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ButtonPolicies.h: add SMI_NOOP to enum.
* ButtonPolicies.C (nextState): add if-statement for SMI_NOOP.
* ButtonController.C (input): add "optimising" if-statement. Actually,
things don't work correctly without it...
2001-03-02 John Levon <moz@compsoc.man.ac.uk>
* ViewBase.h: remove #pragma directive
* ControlConnection.[Ch] (ControlConnectBI c-tor): add explicit c-tor
to make g++ happy.
2001-03-02 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ButtonPolicies.[Ch]: moved from ../ButtonPolicies.[Ch]
* Makefile.am: added ButtonPolicies.[Ch]
* ButtonController.[Ch]: ButtonController is split into
ButtonControllerBase and a template ButtonController class. The base
class no longer stores a pointer to a ButtonPolicy, but instead
accesses the actual instantiation of the policy through a pure virtual
method bp(). This method and the ButtonPolicy itself are instantiated
in the templatised ButtonController class. This class is derived from
the GUI-specific GUIBC class, meaning that the frontends know
nothing about the actual policy decided upon by the controllers.
* ControlBase.[Ch]: No longer store the View or the ButtonController.
Instead the actual instantiations are accessed through pure virtual
methods view() and bc(). The daughter classes are responsible for the
actual View and ButtonController.
* ControlCitation.h: the templatised class GUICitation instantiates
the methods view() and bc(). It also stores the instances of the
View and ButtonController.
2001-02-23 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ButtonControllerBase.[Ch]: renamed as ButtonController.[Ch]. Class
also changed to ButtonController.
* ControlBase.[Ch]:
* ControlConnections.[Ch]:
* ControlCommand.[Ch]:
* ControlCitation.[Ch]:
* ViewBase.h: Changes associated with this.
2001-01-15 Angus Leeming <a.leeming@ic.ac.uk>
* ButtonControllerBase.[Ch]: new files. Split Allan's original
xforms/ButtonController class into a GUI-I class (here) and an
xforms-specific derived class, to be found in xforms/xformsBC.[Ch].
* ControlBase.[Ch]: new files. ControlBase is an abstract base class
from which all Dialog Controllers should be derived. the Controllers
are GUI-independent, but are designed to control the behaviour of
GUI-specific implementaions of each dialog.
* ControlConnections.[Ch]: new files. Classes controlling the
connections of buffer-independent, buffer-dependent and Inset dialogs
with the LyX kernel.
* ControlCommand.[Ch]: new files. A controller for all dialogs for the
InsetCommand subset of insets.
* ControlCitation.[Ch]: new files. The test specialisation! A
controller for the Citation dialog.
* ViewBase.h: new file. ViewBase is an abstract base class from which
GUI-specific dialogs should be derived. The functionality that the GUIs
must now implement is much reduced.
