2Todo on wxWin 2.0, Windows platform
3-----------------------------------
4
5HIGH PRIORITY
6-------------
7
8Find/add wxThread sample - Arthur T-D?
9
10wxControl dimensions should be optionally based on dialog font
11size for portability (dialog units as per Windows).
12
13Implement wxDC floating point transformations.
14
15Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).
16
17Revamp Dialog Editor for new controls and properties (e.g.
18window id).
19
20Tidy wxConfig API.
21
22Change DnD classes to use global symbols, and wxString.
23
24Update manual.
25 wxApp changes DONE
26 wxMenu changes DONE
27 wxModule DONE
28 wxRegion DONE
29 wxFile DONE
30 wxTempFile
31 wxMask DONE
32 wxDC:Blit DONE
33 wxTaskBarIcon DONE
34 wxMsgCatalog etc.
35 wxLog
36 wxConfig, wxRegKey
37 wxTabCtrl DONE
38 wxNotebook
39 wxWave DONE
40 wxJoystick DONE
41 wxStatusBar95 and wxFrame status bar functions
42 wxListBox changes (for ownerdraw functionality)
43 wxThread DONE (except for topic overview)
44 wxHelpController classes DONE (except for Unix ones)
45 wxString PARTLY DONE
46 Drag and drop (change API if required, e.g. const).
47 wxCheckListBox
48 wxAcceleratorTable
49 wxBaseArray, other arrays
50 (wxOwnerDrawn)
51 Document the include file for each class
52 Macros, e.g. wxASSERT
53 Stream classes
54 Functions
55
56Write tutorial.
57
58A wxDC function (or two) for drawing 3D edges.
59
60Makefiles for other compilers. Generic makefiles?
61Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release
62objects.
63
64More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).
65
66wxSocket integration.
67
68Convert remaining utilities e.g. (GLCanvas; wxGraphLayout) and samples
69
70Check TODO entries.
71
72Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...
73
74Make use of Vadim's gettext implementation throughout wxWin code.
75Document it.
76
77Retain callback functions; have semi-compatible callback function prototypes
78for all controls, at least in WXWIN_COMPATIBLE mode, but
79retain (Set)Callback for all compilations. This is following a
80panicky response to losing callbacks.
81
82Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp.
83
84Add a wxTabCtrl sample.
85
86Improve printing. More API functions for printer DCs (to get
87printer characteristics) and more reliable printing framework.
88
89Add GetIcon, GetBitmap to wxImageList. Perhaps store bitmaps
90in image list so we can get them later.
91
92LOW PRIORITY
93------------
94
95Debug PNG support in wxBitmap (no 4-bit support), and possibly add a convertor from PNG
96to HICON. We could perhaps also support inclusion of PNGs into
97a .res file as a custom resource.
98
99Fonts: ability to enumerate them.
100
101Angled text.
102
103Eliminate Set/GetDefaultBackgroundColour? Just take background
104colour for child control instead.
105
106Think about reimplementing wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap using
107BS_BITMAP, SS_BITMAP - but this may not allow wxBitmap
108argument, so instead just allow controls loaded from native
109resource to deal with this style and call default processing.
110
111Better clipboard support.
112
113wxWizard class?
114
115Doc/view - have some standard views/docs e.g. wxTextView.
116
117wxClassWizard for generating files, chunks of code.
118
119Miscellaneous file/system function wrappers.
120
121wxImage or replacement; further wxBitmap/wxIcon etc. functions
122(load animated icos).
123
124Integrate existing multimedia classes.
125
126Rich text class?
127
128Look at WinCE stuff incl. database classes.
129
130Improve conversion guide, compatibility classes, tools?
131
132Bug database.
133
134ActiveX support?
135
136OpenGL integration.
137
138Menu bitmaps - document Vadim's enhancements.
139
140Enhance Tex2RTF to generate Microsoft HTML help, perhaps Netscape
141HTML help also.
142
143wxCreateDynamicObject is apparently slow: ~ 2000 calls to strcmp. Need to
144use some kind of hash table scheme.
145
146Write wxDisplay class for querying settings and passing
147to wxFrame to mirror the X situation (multiple displays).
148
149Write translator between old and new .wxr formats (including
150substituting static text for obsolete labels).
151
152Improve and expand wxSizer classes.
153
154Write more validators.
155
156Classes for file/OS utility functions.
157
158Add support for more static controls e.g. wxStaticLine.
159
160GDI objects could be optimised further in constructors by
161searching for a matching, pre-existing object, and assigning from
162that, thus sharing the internal handle. A problem with this
163arises if you wish to change the data. But this can be handled by
164un-refing and creating a new handle. So we could reuse many
165Windows GDI objects without troubling the programmer. We might
166wish to switch this off in certain circumstances, e.g.
167
168 wxEnableGDIReuse(FALSE);
169 wxBrush brush(...);
170 wxEnableGDIReuse(TRUE);
171
172or even
173
174 wxGDIReuse reuse(FALSE);
175 wxBrush brush(...);
176
177which lasts until its scope ends. This might be needed e.g. if we
178needed to ensure that the operation was maximally efficient
179(creating a new object rather than searching may or may not be
180more efficient).
181
182Perhaps rewrite wxFile to use FILE* descriptors, so Eof and Flush
183can work.
