11Also, grep for TODO comments in source.
12
13High Priority
14-------------
15
16- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
17 app to allow changing settings interactively.
18
19- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted
20 event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed
21 anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
22 the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.
23
24- wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's
25 OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample).
26
27- wxSpinButton
28
29- wxToolTip
30
31- Miscellaneous events.
32
33- Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP.
34
35- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
36
37Low Priority
38------------
39
40- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
41 wxWindow::DoPaint).
42
43- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
44 visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
45
46- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
47 currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
48
49- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
50
51- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
52 wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
53 when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
54 unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats.
55
56- Get Dialog Editor working (better) under Motif.
57
58- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
59 http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
60
61 We need to:
62 - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough
63 to compile the source.
64 - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files
65 listed.
66 - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct
67 flags for zlib/png compilation.
68 - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should
69 probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class.
70 - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
71 history list).
72
73- Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
74 and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
75 or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
76 http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
77
78- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
79 Netscape is running. See:
80 http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html
81
82- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
83 implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions.
84
85- wxCheckBoxList
86
87- wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton
88
89- Reimplement combobox using Lesstif's widget (avoiding GPL'ed
90 widget currently used).
91
92- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
93 Linux)
94
95- Get ODBC classes and sample working.
96
97- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
98 gcc
