Please, RemObjects, add support for an easier way to use DependencyPropertys in WPF/.NET. Right now you have to add a bunch of code for every property and it’s just drudgework. You could do something like Patrick’s aspect: http://talk.remobjects.com/t/dependency-properties-in-oxygene/2914/8
Just compiling that and distributing it with your builds would help tremendously.
Or you could add language support like you did for other languages. If Cocoa and Java have anything similar (not really sure), then it could be extended to work for them as well.
It feels like a lot of the cool power of bindings is being locked away in this clunky mechanism. That might be okay for C# developers who don’t know any better than what MS feeds them, but we ex-Delphi programmers demand more.
Understood. Just trying to keep the issue alive, especially since it’s not so much of a bug fix that will require figuring out something. Just have to find some spare time (you have lots, right? ) to do the chore.
Fwiw, we looked at this, and there were several issues that keep this for being quite as straight-forward as it may seem, for any non-trivial property. The issue is currently earmarked for the May release, but still in “needs spec” status.
