1 | wxMicroWindows port |
| 2 | =================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Julian Smart 2001-07-02 | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | This is a snapshot of my experimental port of wxWindows to | |
| 7 | MicroWindows. Widgets are supplied by the wxUniversal project, | |
| 8 | while the underlying port uses the Windows ports with small | |
| 9 | modifications for the MicroWindows API. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | There are many things missing from MicroWindows that will | |
| 12 | make the port quite limited for the time being. I haven't | |
| 13 | worked out how to create bitmaps, though there is a BMP to C | |
| 14 | converter. There are no menus, no common dialogs, and only | |
| 15 | one WIN32 app may be run at a time. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Some things can no doubt be worked around, and/or MicroWindows | |
| 18 | itself tweaked. Lots of wxWin functionality is just switched off or | |
| 19 | commented out. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | Installation | |
| 22 | ============ | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | First install MicroWindows - untar it, change config to | |
| 25 | use X11 and any other options you feel fit, apply | |
| 26 | microwindows.patches to fix PeekMessage, and compile | |
| 27 | (type 'make' from within the src directory). | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | Untar the wxMicroWindows port, and change the TOP variable at the | |
| 30 | top of src/microwin/Makefile to reflect where MicroWindows is installed. | |
| 31 | Type 'make all' from src/microwin. To clean, use cleanwx and NOT clean | |
| 32 | since that will clean MicroWindows itself. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | To make the sample, cd into samples/minimal, edit the TOP variable, | |
| 35 | and type 'make all'. | |
| 36 | Running 'minimal' runs the virtual MicroWindows desktop | |
| 37 | and the minimal sample, since in a MicroWindows WIN32 application | |
| 38 | they are one and the same binary. | |

| 43 | A frame comes up :-) | |

| 45 | Notes | |
| 46 | ===== | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | No ::GetKeyState (see microwin/private.h). Should probably use GdOpenKeyboard/GdCloseKeyboard/GdReadKeyboard. Could perhaps emulate GetKeyState this way. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | No ::CreateBitmap or BITMAPINFO. But BMPs can be converted | |
| 51 | to C using convbmp, then need to use Gr... functions. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | No ::DestroyIcon, ::DestroyCursor - use ::DestroyObject instead? | |
| 54 | Also no LoadCursor, LoadImage. So how do we make cursors? No ::SetCursor. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | wxDC: no ::GetTextColor, ::GetBkColor, ::IntersectClipRect, | |
| 57 | ::GetClipBox | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | No ::SetMenu, so no menus or menubars. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | No ::GetObject so we can't get LOGFONT from an HFONT | |
| 62 | in wxSystemSettings. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | No ::CreateDialog so how do we create dialogs? Simulate | |
| 65 | one with a frame I guess. |
