   6          -------------------------------o-------------------------
   7
   8 High Priority
   9 -------------
  10
  11 - wxScreenDC
  12
  13 - Extra wxBitmap formats. What about XPMs, can we assume
  14   libxpm exists and use that?
  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 - Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
  20
  21 - wxRadioBox
  22
  23 - wxRadioButton
  24
  25 - wxComboBox: use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68
  26
  27 - wxGauge: use xmgauge as per wxWin 1.68
  28
  29 - wxSpinButton
  30
  31 - wxSlider
  32
  33 - wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving.
  34
  35 - A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and
  36   other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a
  37   starting point.
  38
  39 - MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this.
  40
  41 - Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector.
  42   Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
  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 - Colour and font setting in widgets.
  52
  53 - wxSystemSettings
  54
  55 - wxTimer
  56
  57 - wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
  58
  59 - Write makefiles for all samples.
  60
  61 - Create some samples for testing.
  62
  63 Low Priority
  64 ------------
  65
  66 - Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK).
  67
  68 - Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
  69   and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be
  70   sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor.
  71
  72 - Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
  73
  74 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
  75   http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/
  76
  77 - Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow
  78   created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68
  79   (see JACS for latest patch).
  80
  81 - Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
  82   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
  83   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
  84   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
  85
  86 - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
  87   Netscape is running.
  88
  89 - wxCheckBoxList
  90
  91 - Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
  92
  93 - Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox.
  94
  95 - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
  96   Linux)
