   6          -------------------------------o-------------------------
   7
   8 - wxDCs
   9
  10 - wxBitmap, wxIcon, wxCursor, wxPalette. What about XPMs, can we assume
  11   libxpm exists and use that? What about PNGs? Can we use gdk
  12   as per wxGTK? Probably not.
  13
  14 - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
  15   currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
  16
  17 - wxRegion
  18
  19 - Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
  20
  21 - wxCheckBoxList
  22
  23 - Remaining common widgets (wxListBox, wxRadioBox, wxRadioButton, wxChoice,
  24   wxGauge, wxComboBox etc.). Use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68.
  25
  26 - wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving.
  27
  28 - Scrolling in wxWindow.
  29
  30 - A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and
  31   other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a
  32   starting point.
  33
  34 - MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this.
  35
  36 - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
  37   Linux)
  38
  39 - Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector. Use a native Motif wxMessageBox.
  40   Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
  41
  42 - Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
  43
  44 - Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: enhance these.
  45
  46 - Write a better generic wxToolBar class than wxToolBarSimple.
  47   Alternatively, write a toolbar using Motif as described here:
  48   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/Kurt_Huhner/jun96.html.
  49   This article also explains how to implement tooltips.
  50
  51 - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
  52   Netscape is running.
  53
  54 - Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK's).
  55
  56 - Colour and font setting in widgets.
  57
  58 - wxSystemSettings
  59
  60 - wxTimer
  61
  62 - wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
  63
  64 - Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
  65   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
  66   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
  67   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
  68
  69 - Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow
  70   created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68
  71   (see JACS for latest patch).
  72
  73 - Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
  74   and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be
  75   sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor.
  76
  77 - Write makefiles for all samples.
  78
  79 - Create some samples for testing.
  80
  81 - Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
  82
  83 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
  84   http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/
