| | 10 | This utility is developed to automatically generate screenshots of the wxWidgets |
| | 11 | controls for use in wxWidgets documentation. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | The main part of the GUI (guiframe.h/guiframe.cpp) was generated with wxFormBuilder |
| | 14 | (http://wxformbuilder.org/), a powerful cross-platform open-source RAD tool. Now its |
| | 15 | trace is removed so we can maintain the code without using it. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | ===User Guide: How To Use== |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | The screenshots will be generated under sub-directory "screenshots" silently. |
| | 21 | Please monitor this folder before taking screenshots using "File->Open screenshots folder". |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | 1) The menu "Capture->Full screen" can take a screeshot for the fullscreen. It's designed |
| | 24 | for testing purpose only. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | 2) The menu "Capture->Regions<Begin>" and "Capture->Regions<End>" was the semi-auto part, |
| | 27 | and now it's deprecated and will be removed soon. |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | 3) Finnally the full-auto mode: "Capture->Capture All" or Ctrl+Alt+A, follow the instructions |
| | 30 | and all the screenshots will be generated correctly under the subdirectory "screenshots". |

| | 35 | |
| | 36 | ==To-do List== |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | 1) Remove wxAuiNoteBook related lagacy codes, which is no longer useful; |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | 2) Refactor the GUI code, which was generated by wxFormBuilder, but it's messy for human to |
| | 41 | maintain; |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | 3) Remove the class CtrlMaskOut since semi-auto part of this utility is no longer needed. |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | 4) Clearify the interface of class AutoCaptureMechanism and document how to add a new control |
| | 46 | that needs to take screenshots, and how to adjust it to avoid bugs in wxRTTI system and |
| | 47 | wxWindow::GetScreenRect(); |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | 5) Make this utility easier to configure; |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | 6) Add test functionality to confirm bugs in wxRTTI system and wxWindow::GetScreenRect(). |
