[sword-devel] UI for Windows Question...

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Costas,
	The filters are usually handled by the engine.  The client of the 
engine typically constructs an SWMgr like so:

SWMgr *mgr = new SWMgr(new MarkupFilterMgr(FMT_HTMLHREF));

This tell the module manager to apply all the filter necessary to always 
render to you HTMLHREF markup.  If you're using RTF then FMT_RTF will be 
what you want to pass in.  I'm not sure if we've exposed a mechanism for 
this yet, but it should be fairly trivial.

To see what global options are available (also a function of filters), 
there are methods in SWMgr to iterate those, their range of values, and 
calls to set and get their current value.  The manager will then apply 
the appropriate filters, e.g.

mgr->setGlobalOption("Strong's Numbers", "on");


   If you look in sword/bindings/cls/test2 (if you haven't yet done so) 
you should find good example code that uses these controls in an end 
user interface.  I also think searching isn't exposed yet, but again, 
having the framework in place, it's just a matter of adding the desired 
methods.  Please let me know if you need any help.  I should have more 
time in the coming weeks to spend on SWORD.

	-Troy.
