(oo)Rexx - Work in Progress samples

Here are some (mostly oo)Rexx widgets/programs that are not complete yet and/or abandoned by me.

If you don't like the filetype extensions used, you can, of course, change them to your own liking without compromising their functionality.

Name	Description	Source
xmlDOM.cls	A non-validating XML DOM (Level 1) parser, DOM builder with accessor DOM methods.	show
xmlDOM HTML documentation	The documentation for the above in HTML format.
tryxmldom.rex	Demonstrates using xmldom.cls, by transforming a Google maps directions query (XML) result into a GPX formatted stream.	show
decodePoly.rex	Used in tryxmldom.rex above.	show
LongPondLane-vanEttenLane.xml	A sample result of a Google Maps directions query, suitable as input for tryxmldom.rex.
rexx_gtk4_trial	A provisional excercise to use GTK4 from ooRexx for windowing support rexx_gtk4.zip.
puzzle15.rex	Sorry Michael, couldn't resist an excellent demo like this! A clauded version of the 15-puzzle, Claude coded it, I specified how, took 6 iterations.	show
rexx_gtk4_trial.html	Updated Makefile to check for Gtk version 4.12 or higher, included librexx_gtk4.so_ubuntu. You can try the one provided by renaming to librexx_gtk4.so to check if it works for you. For those of you interested (in yet another windowing interface for oorexx) the attached zip file contains the result of 2 days working with the free v> You will find the following files in the rexx_gtk4.zip file: hello.rex - a simple hello world in a window. counter.rex - a window with 3 buttons that manipulate a counter of button clicks. form.rex - a form asking for name, email anf telnr in entry fields and a button to submit the values. Makefile - to compile and link the c(++) code that follows. rexx_gtk4_bridge.cpp - the c(++) code used to implement the interfacein a shared library. rexx_gtk4_bridge.h - the necessary includes. I solelely use Linux nowadays, in my case Ubuntu or Mint and the Makefile lists the development packages needed for a Ubuntu based linux system, but I guess adapoted easely to other systems. To use unzip the rexx_gtk4.zip file in a directory of your choice where you have write access to, possibly you may need to use chmod u+w * to acquire write rights. To compile the shared library with all necessary packages installed type: make This should result in librexx_gtk4.so being generated in the same directory,. To run the provided rexx scripts type: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. rexx ./hello.rex That's it. Of course this is still a very provisional effort, but shows some possibilities.The code is reasonably commented if you want to dig into the internals. It could be a starting point, the gtk4.cls file can possibly be generated by using Gobject Introspection Repository functions and the code generated via rexx_gtk4.cpp based on the input from gtk4.cls.
