[Gnumed-devel] forms

[Ruthard Baudach]

I agree that the capability to handle forms is crucial to EMR's used under  
the reign of bureaucrazy, as in Germany and presumably in Austria.
The test and score widgtet I'm working on is eventually nothing else than  
a set of sophisticated forms.

I tried to paint scanned form on a panel and define wx.TextCtrl instances  
using absolute poistioning. It seems to work.

Thus a definiton of a form could consist of a dictionary

form = {
        'background': '/path/to/file/with/background/image',
        'control_1': {
                'type': 'xx',
                'pos': (x,y),
                'size': (x,y),
		'default': 'default value, which should involve some magic fairy or  
demon in order to automagically fill in gnumed-data',
                'tooltip': 'This is a ToolTipText'
                },
        'control_2': {
                ...
                }
        }

preferably the background image should be stored in the same file as the  
control definition, I just did'nt figured out how to do this yet.

Displaying this definiton is easy, reading the data filled in by the user  
is also no problem.

I've got no idea,
        * how to get this data on the form
        * how to store this data in a GNUmedish way
        * where to hunt down the mentioned fairies and demons.

Writing these files by hand is very time consuming - a form editor would  
be fine. Well, we'll see.
