  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 - Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted
  20   event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed
  21   anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
  22   the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.
  23
  24 - wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's
  25   OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample).
  26
  27 - wxToolTip
  28
  29 - Miscellaneous events.
  30
  31 - Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP.
  32
  33 - Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
  34
  35 Low Priority
  36 ------------
  37
  38 - Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
  39   wxWindow::DoPaint).
  40
  41 - Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
  42   visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
  43
  44 - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
  45   currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
  46
  47 - Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
  48
  49 - Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
  50   wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
  51   when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
  52   unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats.
  53
  54 - Get Dialog Editor working (better) under Motif.
  55
  56 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
  57   http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
  58
  59   We need to:
  60   - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough
  61     to compile the source.
  62   - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files
  63     listed.
  64   - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct
  65     flags for zlib/png compilation.
  66   - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should
  67     probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class.
  68   - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
  69     history list).
  70
  71 - Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
  72   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
  73   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
  74   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
  75
  76 - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
  77   Netscape is running. See:
  78   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html
  79
  80 - wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
  81   implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions.
  82
  83 - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
  84   Linux)
  85
  86 - Get ODBC classes and sample working.
  87
  88 - Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
  89   gcc
