From my latest post, i had to do more work on the base classes, i realized that my implementation of BContactField was too inflexible for the use so my progresses were not fast as i hoped. The main problem was to provide something that can fit the simplicity of the Person format (people files) and the complexity of VCard. The result was BContactField. Starting from a number of fields (defined in ContactDefs.h) the class provide some methods to access the field-type of a particular fields and give an interface able to manage properties and parameters as well. At the bottom there are some classes that implements BContactField, they will be used directly by the user, let me give some examples :
