hi all, there was a request a month or two ago for a stock browser and i put one up to the download page.
http://dwl.xboxmediacenter.de/index.php?...=6&start=1
features
-view a portfolio of stock information at once
-add and remove individual stocks on the fly
-saves portfolio preference between sessions
-view price graphs for a stock over several ranges of time
-looks pretty neat
from a technical standpoint there are some interesting things happening in there and it took me a while to decide the best way to do some of them. there are a lot of labels which can change color between green white and red. since you can't change label colors on the fly this is actually 3 labels of different colors with their visibilities toggled.
also what appears to be a large list control is a growable set of blank buttons each with a group of labels aligned on top. effectively making a pretty nice table with selectable rows.
i also save out preferences to a file. try it out i would love comments and suggestions for it, especially for the code since i am a python newb.
props go out to darkie (aqtbrowser), burriko (xbmcmail), and flash (ifilmbrowser, launchbrowser).
