arsd/minigui_xml.d

/++
	A small extension module to [arsd.minigui] that adds
	functions for creating widgets and windows from short
	XML descriptions.

	If you choose to use this, it will require [arsd.dom]
	to be compiled into your project too.

	---
	import arsd.minigui_xml;
	Window window = createWindowFromXml(`
		<MainWindow>
			<Button label="Hi!" />
		</MainWindow>
	`);
	---


	To add custom widgets to the minigui_xml factory, you need
	to register them with FIXME.

	You can attach some events right in the XML using attributes.
	The attribute names are `onEVENTNAME` or `ondirectEVENTNAME`
	and the values are one of the following three value types:

	$(LIST
		* If it starts with `&`, it is a delegate you need
		  to register using the FIXME function.

		* If it starts with `(`, it is a string passed to
		  the [arsd.dom.querySelector] function to get an
		  element reference

		* Otherwise, it tries to call a script function (if
		  scripting is available).
	)

	Keep in mind
	For example, to make a page widget that changes based on a
	drop down selection, you may:

	```xml
		<DropDownSelection onchange="$(+PageWidget).setCurrentTab">
			<option>Foo</option>
			<option>Bar</option>
		</DropDownSelection>
		<PageWidget name="mypage">
			<!-- contents elided -->
		</PageWidget>
	```

	That will create a select widget that when it changes, it will
	look for the next PageWidget sibling (that's the meaning of `+PageWidget`,
	see css selector syntax for more) and call its `setCurrentTab`
	method.

	Since the function knows `setCurrentTab` takes an integer, it will
	automatically pull the `intValue` member out of the event and pass
	it to the method.

	The given XML is the same as the following D:

	---
		auto select = new DropDownSelection(parent);
		select.addOption("Foo");
		select.addOption("Bar");
		auto page = new PageWidget(parent);
		page.name = "mypage";

		select.addEventListener("change", (Event event) {
			page.setCurrentTab(event.intValue);
		});
