| | 8 | General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets. |

| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Also, grep for TODO comments in source. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | High 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 | - Colour setting in widgets (almost done). Should scrollbars take |
| | 20 | on the background colour? Not right for e.g. wxScrolledWindows, |
| | 21 | so maybe have wxSystemSettings value for scrollbar colour, and/or |
| | 22 | ability to set scrollbar colour independently. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | - Optimize wxWindow OnPaint to avoid flicker, collapsing Expose events |
| | 25 | as per flicker fix in 1.68. It will be tricky to avoid |
| | 26 | interfering with non-wxScrolledWindow widgets except by |
| | 27 | explicitly testing for wxScrolledWindow. |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | - Implementation of OnEraseBackground. How? Call OnEraseBackground |
| | 30 | just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background. |
| | 31 | However, this is usually OK, because the default wxWindow::OnEraseBackground |
| | 32 | can do nothing (SetBackgroundColour will make the background look OK). |
| | 33 | And if a custom OnEraseBackground uses the same colour as the window |
| | 34 | background, no flicker will be seen. If it does something else, such as |
| | 35 | painting a tiled bitmap, then a slight flicker might be seen unless |
| | 36 | X can be persuaded not to repaint the window background by default. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | - wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's |
| | 39 | OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample). |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | - Word wrapping in wxStaticText: how? |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | - wxSpinButton |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | - Miscellaneous events. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | - wxGLCanvas: cure bad flicker |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | - Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | Low Priority |
| | 52 | ------------ |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | - Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's |
| | 55 | visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is |
| | 58 | currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | - Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | - Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68 |
| | 63 | wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However, |
| | 64 | when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked |
| | 65 | unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats. |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | - Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click |
| | 68 | and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be |
| | 69 | sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | - Get Dialog Editor working under Motif. |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at |
| | 74 | http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/. |
| | 75 | |
| | 76 | We need to: |
| | 77 | - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough |
| | 78 | to compile the source. |
| | 79 | - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files |
| | 80 | listed. |
| | 81 | - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct |
| | 82 | flags for zlib/png compilation. |
| | 83 | - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should |
| | 84 | probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class. |
| | 85 | - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar, |
| | 86 | history list). |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | - Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag |
| | 89 | and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/ |
| | 90 | or use Motif drag and drop as described here: |
| | 91 | http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. |
| | 94 | Netscape is running. See: |
| | 95 | http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | - wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply |
| | 98 | implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions. |
| | 99 | |
| | 100 | - wxCheckBoxList |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | - wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton |
| | 103 | |
| | 104 | - Reimplement combobox using Lesstif's widget (avoiding GPL'ed |
| | 105 | widget currently used). |
| | 106 | |
| | 107 | - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for |
| | 108 | Linux) |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | - Blit scaling |
| | 111 | |
| | 112 | - Get ODBC classes and sample working. |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | - Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under |
| | 115 | gcc |
