I'll introduce myself first; I'm a grad student in linguistics at Trinity
Western University in Vancouver, Canada. I'm interested in developing
software for applied linguistics using Oberon/F, especially for phonology.
The main reason to use O/F is the ease of user interface design. Right
now I'm just fooling around, trying to learn the system.
Here's what I'd like to do: have text boxes in a form that can display any
typeface at any size. I could modify ObxButtons, but that would
necessitate writing text editing code. Is it possible to extend
TextViews.View to give it control properties? Is this what Controls.Field
is?
Apologies if I'm missing something basic here; I'm just getting the hang
of the framework.
Thanks
Gordon Tisher
