EasyPlan Day 16

7:48am
This morning, I started on the mouse cursor for task bars. I set it so that it looks like a cursor for moving objects. The only thing that bother mea little bit is it’s called CURSOR_SIZING that’s why it was hard to find at first.

The reason I did this is the default action when a bar is hovered is to move its location when dragged.

5:49pm
I added some validation of project object first on gantt chart and wbs component before drawing them.

5:59pm
Opening and loading of project now is working. First, I diabled the project object initialization on the creation of main window. Then I’ve set the project object on opening the file one by one for the main window, left pane and right pane.

7:09pm
While tinkering at the opened file, I discovered another bug. It’s in the wbs, on editing the start day of a task. I fixed it now though. There are a lot of code testing I made before it actually behaves as intended. Here is the corrected code:

# Check if this task has predecessor
predecessor_index = str(self.project.tasks[index].predecessor)
if predecessor_index.isdigit():
    predecessor = self.project.tasks[int(predecessor_index)]
    predecessor_end = predecessor.start_day + predecessor.get_virtual_duration()

    if int(value) < int(predecessor_end):
        task.set_start_day(int(predecessor_end))
        elf.SetCellValue(cell, old)
    else:
        task.set_start_day(int(value))
else:
    task.set_start_day(int(value))

While I’m writing the software, I’m also reading a book simultaneously, The E-Myth, just to not have so much focus on one thing. It eases my mind this way.
