Updated the 'Save To Desktop' button in the
ShortcutLibraryForm to use the CreateShortcut
function in the ShortcutItem, and fixed that so
it now uses the IWshRuntimeLibrary to create
a Windows Script Host that will create the
shortcut.
Did a fix for the SHortcutAdaptor doing exceptions
for showing the form before loading all the graphics
but can't really do much about it without adding
background loading to the main form. This is a lot of
work considering we'll be moving from WinForms
to WPF UI in the future.
Also fixed the 'Do you want to save' prompt detection
logic so that it correctly waits until all the loading has
finished before monitoring for users making changes.
Should stop the form incorrectly suggesting you
should save unless they've really made a change.
If a shortcut has Autoname turned on, and if the user
changes the name of the profile, then the shortcut will
be renamed to keep pace with the new profile name.
If autoname is NOT turned on, then the shortcut name
will be kept as is, and the user will need to make any
changes. Please note that HeliosPlus will not make
any changes to any desktop shortcuts saved to the PC.
It will only change the name of the shortcut in the
shortcut library within the App.
Moving to using a ProfileRespository will make it
easier when moving to a WPF style app, and it will
allow some freedom if I want to change the storage
to a database or soemthing different.
Partially completed bitmap work.
Need to implement generic bitmap
resizing to work with small and large
icons, and for different sizes for overlay
bitmap.
Created ShortcutRepository which handles
the loading/saving and lifecycle management
of shortcuts. There can only be one shortcut
repository at a time, hence it's mainly static
methods.
Also started down the path of troubleshooting
the profileIcon overlays. The ToBitmapOverlay
still isn't working properly, so I need to figure
out how it was working originally, and how I
broke it :). Then I need to unbreak it.
Still having issues with the shortcutAdaptor for the
Imagelistviewitem loading. Even though it's based
on the same code as the profileAdaptor it's not
reading the Shortcut bitmap properly. Too tired to
figure out why at the moment, so will be trying again
tomorrow. I expect its something to do with the
different Bitmap format for the two options. May
need to revise that to compare image data.
Have created the Shortcut class for use within the
ShortcutLibrary. Next step is modifying the
ShortcutForm to generate a Shortcut so that I
can check the loading and saving is working ok.
I won't concentrate on the ShortcutForm redesign
until this bit is tested.
Manged to get the ImageListView working directly
from the Bitmap stored in the Profile. This makes
the refresh of the ILV much faster, and makes it way
easier to use it in other UI forms.
