[mcclim-devel] Command translator question

Seems like COM-DESCRIBE is in McCLIM but not Lispworks CLIM.
I defined that, and worked around the CLIMI internal stuff using CLIM
MAP-OVER-x
functions. Having done that and a bit more hacking (below) your code worked,
meaning that command "Show Sheet Hierarchy" displayed a tree of sheet
objects
that were mouse sensitive for COM-DESCRIBE.

Some other things:

(find-pane-named *application-frame* 'app) returned a SPACING-PANE.
I had to use GET-FRAME-PANE instead.

Sometimes SHEET-CHILDREN popped a NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD
for objects for which SHEETP returned T. The only way I could find to
proceed
was to define dummy methods for classes
  WIN32-LIB-CLIM::WIN32- TOP-LEVEL-MENU
  WIN32-LIB-CLIM::WIN32-SCROLLBAR-PANE
  WIN32-LIB-CLIM:: WIN32-POINTER-DOCUMENTATION-PANE

Obviously these won't be a problem in McCLIM but it does indicate probing
too low into the implementation might be problematic.
