[cdt-patch] Managed Builder UI Patch






Hi All,
This patch contains a fix for bug 41274 in the core; library entries in 
the build property pages were not being saved by the build model manager.

It also contains a bunch of fixes for minor problems in the UI. I added a 
new target for building DLLs on Cygwin. The zip file adds a new icon for 
configurations in the tree view of the build property page for managed 
builds. Now the tool uses the tool icon and the category uses the new 
category icon.

The list editor will better fit a page with space-grabbing widgets in 
different columns. For example, the default list field editor puts the 
list in the left column and allows it to grab all excess space. Entry 
fields put the label in the left and the space-grabbing entry field/combo 
box in the right. The layout manager then gives both left and right 
columns equal space in that case. By wrapping the list field editor in a 
group control that spans both columns, the layout manager allocates enough 

space for controls in the right-hand column. It also lays out the contents 

of the list field editor inside the group control independently of the 
outer container, so it looks right too. Also added a double-click event 
handler so users  can edit list elements. All in all, this makes the list 
widget work better.

I re-activated the summary field editor class (it's alive!). It still does 

not behave quite right in terms of showing the command line summary, but 
that functionality will be added shortly.

Finally, the build property page is being resized for large pages. It is 
still possible to specify categories with too many options to display, 
even with the new resize. This will have to be a documented limitation, or 

we will have to add a vertical scroll bar for pages that are too large.
