Pop up alternative input-sequence editor
http://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?104480
'Input sequences' are a 'little language' for data that vary by
year. A $5,000 yearly loan after retirement might be entered as
0 retirement; 5000
in a text control. Some users don't want to master that language,
and would prefer a pop-up dialog for each vector field like this:
labels: value from-duration to-duration
controls: textctrl spinctrl spinctrl
with the 'controls' repeated for each of a variable number of
intervals. Alternatively, the 'controls' might be cells in a
grid control. The 'values' might be a floating-point number,
a constrained list of strings, or both: for example, a premium
field must accept 'minimum' as well as '12345.67'. Similarly,
a 'duration' could be an integer or a string like 'retirement'.
Please correct me if i'm wrong: this task is about designing and
coding a standalone widget for editing 'input sequence' expressions.
It should be an extended wxTextCtrl which allows ( to click on some
additional little button near its text area, which will open a dialog
box for) editing input sequence using a grid or a sequence of control
groups.
Plus an Xrc handler should be provided to be able to integrate this
widget into existing dialogs via xml-resources.
