| | 8 | General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets. |
| | 9 | ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/motif |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Also, grep for TODO comments in source. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | High Priority |
| | 14 | ------------- |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is |
| | 17 | currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak. |
| | 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 | - Finish wxNotebook. |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | - wxSpinButton |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | - Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | - Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these. |
| | 45 | wxTreeCtrl: crashes in wxImageList::Draw because it assumes |
| | 46 | that wxBitmap == wxIcon, which is only true in wxGTK. |
| | 47 | So add wxDC::DrawBitmap and use this instead. |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | - Find out why modal dialogs give a grab warning. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | - wxSystemSettings. Eventually, should have control panel-like utility |
| | 52 | to change colours/fonts but meanwhile should maybe read them |
| | 53 | from a file. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | - wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK) |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - wxGrid: scrollbars don't hide; problem with cell selection. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | - MDI: seems to be broken for a more complex application I'm testing. |
| | 60 | Frame decorations don't draw properly, and a child window doesn't |
| | 61 | process events properly. So probably we should have an alternative |
| | 62 | implementation that uses tabs, a la wxGTK. The system menu could |
| | 63 | be implemented using a pop-up menu that applies to the currently |
| | 64 | active window. |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | - Controls in a wxToolBar don't work. Probably due to form layout |
| | 67 | problems; the workaround is to use a separate panel for controls. |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | - Miscellaneous events. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | - Write makefiles for all samples and utilities. |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | - Create some samples for testing. |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | Low Priority |
| | 76 | ------------ |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | - Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs. |
| | 79 | Use wxGTK config system? It's really complex to debug and |
| | 80 | doesn't offer a way of compiling apps outside the wxWin |
| | 81 | hierarchy. |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | - Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68 |
| | 84 | wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However, |
| | 85 | when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked |
| | 86 | unless needed. |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | - Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK). |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | - Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click |
| | 91 | and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be |
| | 92 | sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor. |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | - Get Dialog Editor working under Motif. |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at |
| | 97 | http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/. |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | We need to: |
| | 100 | - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough |
| | 101 | to compile the source. |
| | 102 | - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files |
| | 103 | listed. |
| | 104 | - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct |
| | 105 | flags for zlib/png compilation. |
| | 106 | - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should |
| | 107 | probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class. |
| | 108 | - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar, |
| | 109 | history list). |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | - Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow |
| | 112 | created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68 |
| | 113 | (see JACS for latest patch). |
| | 114 | |
| | 115 | - Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag |
| | 116 | and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/ |
| | 117 | or use Motif drag and drop as described here: |
| | 118 | http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. |
| | 121 | Netscape is running. See: |
| | 122 | http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | - wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply |
| | 125 | implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions. |
| | 126 | |
| | 127 | - wxCheckBoxList |
| | 128 | |
| | 129 | - wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | - Reimplement combobox using Lesstif's widget (avoiding GPL'ed |
| | 132 | widget currently used). |
| | 133 | |
| | 134 | - Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector) |
| | 135 | |
| | 136 | - Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox |
| | 137 | |
| | 138 | - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for |
| | 139 | Linux) |
| | 140 | |
| | 141 | - Blit scaling |
| | 142 | |
| | 143 | - Could eventually alter the MDI widgets to be more Windows-like |
| | 144 | -- currently it's half-hearted (menus are on children, whereas |
| | 145 | they should replace the main parent frame menu). |
| | 146 | |
| | 147 | - Get ODBC classes and sample working. |
