Load: Custom Dialog

[Nick Draper]

Create a custom dialog for the Load Algorithm.

It will have two "fixed" parameters:

• Filename
• OutputWorkpace

Once filename is filled in and loses focus it should

1. automatically fill in a possible name for OutputWorkspace (as LoadRawDialog)
2. Call Load (Load will have to change to support this) to find out which underlying Loader it will use
3. Dynamically create further controls for any other properties of the specific Load Algoritm (as the generic dialog does already)
4. Redirect the ? help button to the correct help page

Finally update the menus & toolbars in the mantidplot GUI to remove the specific Load commands and just leave the general one. LoadDAE should be moved to only exist under the fine menu.

(In [9071]) Update to the Load algorithm to allow running solely to discover the concrete loader type. Also updated workspace property to respect the optional flag in other cirumstances. Re #2329

(In [9080]) Some minor changes to neaten up the IDataFileChecker children and to move the static contants that were not attached to anything in particular. Re #2329

(In [9085]) Rubbish fix for Windows build until tomorrow when I figure out how to do it properly. Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9102]) Proper fix for the static const declaration debacle in IDataFileChecker. The class was hard marked DLLExport rather than switching between the two depending on the IN_MANTID_API flag. This is the case in quite a lot if our code where DLLExport is used instead of the correct EXPORT_OPT_IN_{PACKAGE} (which I think need a more concise name for). Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9113]) This should be everything I need for the Framework to make using the Load algorithm much simpler (including from C++). Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9266]) Implemented a custom dialog for the Load algorithm. It now dynamically generates its properties from those that the concrete loaer has, Refs #2329. Also fixed a problem with loading grouped nexus files through the Load algorithm, Re #2362

(In [9283]) Fix for test problems with WorkspaceProperty types. Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9284]) Fixed linking error on MantidPlot. Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9316]) Modified LoadEventPreNeXus so that it is compatible with the Load algorithm, Refs #2168. Also made a couple of adjustments to the layout of the MWRunFiles widget to make it better at resizing with the dialogs it is attached to. Re #2329

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [9320]) Fix the tests. Re #2329

[Brent Tully]

Correct as of 1.1.9450
