Added two new methods to the Locale Kit in order to create a custom time
formats from a format string. One method is outputs into a char* array,
the other into a BString() and you can set the timezone.
These methods should be cleaned up, we only need 2, one to get
the time in a predefined style, the other to get a custom time format.
Also should probably do the same for dates and datetimes. But I'll let
this go for now.
I added myself to the Locale.cpp file. I retained the copyright instead
of assigning it to Haiku, Inc. because the file is under the OpenBeOS
license and I don't know what the concequences of copyright sharing are
for that license, unlike MIT.
These new methods are used to generate custom time formats in Deskbar.
Instead of using a set of Radio Buttons to choose between the predefined
time options I build my own by creating a format string and passing it
to the Locale Kit. The format string is generated from 3 checkboxes,
show seconds, show day of week, and show time zone. You can mix and match
between them choose any that you like. By default they are all off.
There are 3 new deskbar settings associated with these new options:
showSeconds, showDayOfWeek, and showTimeZone. timeFormat has gone away.
The time format string gets cached and updated only when Update() gets called
on the TimeView class.
In order to fit all the options in (there is 1 more than before) I had to
reduce the font size of the clock to 11pt when all options are turned on in
12 hour mode. For those with no imagination it looks like this:
http://imagebin.org/208162
Renamed "Open time preferences..." menuitem to "Time preferences...".
Renamed "Show Time" and "Hide Time" to "Show time" and "Hide time".
Other changes include refactoring the header files a bit. There were a lot
of headers included by header files uneccessarily. For instance BarWindow.h
now only includes <Window.h> and <Deskbar.h>. This change is mainly to
to speed up the compile time since it takes a while right now.
I copy the fBarView pointer from BarWindow in the BarApp constructor and then
use that throughout the file rather than getting the pointer from the window
each time by calling BarView(). BarView() is still available in the header
for other classes though.
I moved some message constants around since it was getting a bit jumbled.
Most of the messages related to settings are in PreferenceWindow.h.
fChangeState is moved to BarView.h since that is where the ChangeState()
function is and BarView.cpp uses that constant.
The time interval and format constants are in TimeView.h.
Make some methods public in their respective classes where it made sense.
The preference window methods to update dependent items are public, that
might get called from BarWindow when a message gets received at some point.
Also made ShowHideTime() and Time() public in StatusView.h. These methods
activate showing and hiding the clock and return the fTime clock object.
No reason they should be private.
I reindented the StatusView.h and PreferenceWindow.h headers to the standard
style. Question here, are the public: protected: and private: lines inside
of classes suppose to get indented 1 tab or not? I've seen both, the style
guide says no indent but 1 indent seems reasonable and looks pretty good.
Style fixes here and there. That's enough for one commit I think.
* support all weekdays as start of week, not only Sunday and Monday
(at least Saturday is used for real, too)
* introduce BWeekday as enumeration of weekdays (currently in Locale.h,
may be moved somewhere else later)
* change CalendarView to use BDate as its model, not individual values
for day, month and year, such that no more date computation is done
in CalendarView itself
* some more style cleanups in CalendarView along the way
* add monthwise paging to CalendarView
* adjusted Deskbar and Time preflet accordingly

for message formatting
* adjust LocaleKit to use namespace 'icu', as ICU has been configured to no longer
use a version specific namespace
* adjust LocaleKit to general API changes in ICU 4.8
Note: all software using ICU (like WebPositive) needs to be rebuilt!
Note: the ICU package for PPC needs to be updated before it can be used!
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@42638 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* extracted new class BFormattingConventions from BCountry, which
manages the formatting conventions from a given locale and
allows to get/set the four different date/time formats supported
by ICU-locales as well as number and monetary formats
* overhauled the Locale preflet:
+ drop editing features for all formats, since I don't think
they do not make much sense to have in a prefs GUI - being
able to select from the existing locales should be good
enough. Please note that you can still change the formats
programmatically in an application.
+ renamed the 'Countries' tab to 'Formatting'
+ the locale formatting conventions list in the 'Formatting'
tab is now hierarchical for easier access (less scrolling)
+ fixed functionality of 'Revert' and 'Defaults' buttons
+ added support for using the month/day-names of your preferred
language during date formatting
* adjusted BLocale to ask BFormattingConventions for the current
formats when formatting dates and times and to offer 4
different format styles (full, long, medium and short).
* adjust all classes formatting dates/times to pick the
appropriate format style
* BLocaleRoster no longer directly archives/unarchives the
individual formatting conventions but delegates that to
BFormattingConventions

* BLocale now keeps language and country completely separate and
mixes the formatting conventions into the current language's locale
when formatting dates and times (needs to be done for number- and
currency-formatting, too, since the digits may not be in the
preferred language)
* optimized fetching of the flag icons such that they are all loaded
in one go (by the locale roster) - this alone speeds up the Locale
preflet considerably
* worked on fixing the language confusion in the Locale preflet
* fixed a couple of bugs in the Locale preflet that would lead to
illegal characters being displayed in the date-subpart menus

values
* added locking to BLocale (needed since the data of the global object may
change any time)
* BLocale no longer passes out pointers to internal objects, it fill objects
passed in by the client instead (just like be_locale_roster does)
* dropped default language as member from RosterData, it is no part of the
default locale
* fleshed out implementation of TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat, both
of which can now be given a BLocale in order to set the strings being used
during formatting
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38428 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added TODOs about the need to get rid of some of the date/time-formatting
shortcut methods
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38146 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Use the function to localize the date/time in tracker.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37949 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Remove the be_locale global object and go through the be_locale_roster instead
* Rework the storage of data for the be_locale_roster, since BLocale already holds a BCountry and a BLanguage.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37907 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* refactored private/mutable stuff out of LocaleRoster into MutableLocaleRoster
* moved management of Locale/Time settings file and broadcasting of any changes
out of preflets and into MutableLocaleRoster
* added proper sorting to the listviews of the Locale preflet
* the Time preflet no longer overlaps long timezone names into the actual time
* several fixes with respect to leaking ICU objects, esp. in BCountry
* the locale roster no longer passes out references to its own BCountry object,
but uses copies, instead - this makes locking superfluous, as the clients'
BCountry objects can no longer be changed by the setting a new default
country in the locale roster
* removed pretty useless POSIX-style symbol fetching from BCountry - if we
need that at all, it should live in the dedicated formatter classes
* adjusted readonlybootprompt, dstcheck and Deskbar to the changed Locale API
* refactored existing Time-formatter into TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat
(the latter of which is now used by AboutSystem)
* added stubs for Date, DateTime and Time formatters
* lots of coding style fixes throughout the Locale Kit and the Locale and Time
preflets
This will probably break most external apps making use of the Locale Kit - it
does break WebPositive.

warnings and incorporate some of the ICU-patches we had in our repo before
we upgraded to 4.4.1
* fixed remaining warnings when building locale kit
* activated EnableWerror for locale kit
* added 'Unicode' license, which is the second license in use by ICU
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37763 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Remove the old one from the locale librairy, with some cleanup
Known regressions :
* readonlybootprompt will no longer update the locale settings : the
method used messed with internal undocumented things
* external localized apps (webpositive for example) will not run
anymore.

work to do, but it's about time to give this code more exposure.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@33176 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* integrating most of the locale kit into the build (and image)
* removed LocaleBuild.h and _IMPEXP_LOCALE since that does not make
sense for elf (which usually exports all symbols anyway)
* added a couple of locale kit related pseudo targets for convenience
Hey, some of that stuff already seems to work :-)
