2 Todo on wxWin 2.0, Windows platform
3 -----------------------------------
8 Find/add wxThread sample - Arthur T-D?
10 Implement wxDC floating point transformations.
12 Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).
14 Revamp Dialog Editor for new controls and properties (e.g.
32 wxNotebook DONE (some more explanation required)
35 wxStatusBar95 and wxFrame status bar functions
36 wxListBox changes (for ownerdraw functionality)
37 wxThread DONE (except for topic overview)
38 wxHelpController classes DONE (except for Unix ones)
40 Drag and drop (change API if required, e.g. const).
42 wxAcceleratorTable DONE
43 wxBaseArray, other arrays
45 Document the include file for each class
52 A wxDC function (or two) for drawing 3D edges.
54 Makefiles for other compilers. Generic makefiles?
55 Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release
58 More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).
60 Convert remaining utilities e.g. (GLCanvas; wxGraphLayout) and samples
64 Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...
66 Make use of Vadim's gettext implementation throughout wxWin code.
69 Retain callback functions; have semi-compatible callback function prototypes
70 for all controls, at least in WXWIN_COMPATIBLE mode, but
71 retain (Set)Callback for all compilations. This is following a
72 panicky response to losing callbacks.
74 Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp (see also some DIB code in bitmap.cpp).
76 Add a wxTabCtrl sample.
78 Improve printing. More API functions for printer DCs (to get
79 printer characteristics) and more reliable printing framework.
81 Add GetIcon, GetBitmap to wxImageList. Perhaps store bitmaps
82 in image list so we can get them later.
84 Add centring, right justify styles to wxStaticText.
86 Synchronize drawing functions on all platforms, using Chris's
89 Extend wxSystemSettings to get symbols for current nationality,
90 e.g. ',' instead of '.' for decimal points.
95 Debug PNG support in wxBitmap (no 4-bit support), and possibly add a convertor from PNG
96 to HICON. We could perhaps also support inclusion of PNGs into
97 a .res file as a custom resource.
99 Fonts: ability to enumerate them.
103 Eliminate Set/GetDefaultBackgroundColour? Just take background
104 colour for child control instead.
106 Think about reimplementing wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap using
107 BS_BITMAP, SS_BITMAP - but this may not allow wxBitmap
108 argument, so instead just allow controls loaded from native
109 resource to deal with this style and call default processing.
111 Better clipboard support.
115 Doc/view - have some standard views/docs e.g. wxTextView.
117 wxClassWizard for generating files, chunks of code.
119 Miscellaneous file/system function wrappers.
121 wxImage or replacement; further wxBitmap/wxIcon etc. functions
122 (load animated icos).
124 Integrate existing multimedia classes.
128 Look at WinCE stuff incl. database classes.
130 Improve conversion guide, compatibility classes, tools?
138 Menu bitmaps - document Vadim's enhancements.
140 Enhance Tex2RTF to generate Microsoft HTML help, perhaps Netscape
143 wxCreateDynamicObject is apparently slow: ~ 2000 calls to strcmp. Need to
144 use some kind of hash table scheme.
146 Write wxDisplay class for querying settings and passing
147 to wxFrame to mirror the X situation (multiple displays).
149 Write translator between old and new .wxr formats (including
150 substituting static text for obsolete labels).
152 Improve and expand wxSizer classes.
154 Write more validators. Also, how do they work if loading the
155 dialog from a .wxr? Could call SetValidator from within
156 InitDialog for all controls, then call TransferDataToWindow.
158 Classes for file/OS utility functions.
160 Add support for more static controls e.g. wxStaticLine.
162 GDI objects could be optimised further in constructors by
163 searching for a matching, pre-existing object, and assigning from
164 that, thus sharing the internal handle. A problem with this
165 arises if you wish to change the data. But this can be handled by
166 un-refing and creating a new handle. So we could reuse many
167 Windows GDI objects without troubling the programmer. We might
168 wish to switch this off in certain circumstances, e.g.
170 wxEnableGDIReuse(FALSE);
172 wxEnableGDIReuse(TRUE);
176 wxGDIReuse reuse(FALSE);
179 which lasts until its scope ends. This might be needed e.g. if we
180 needed to ensure that the operation was maximally efficient
181 (creating a new object rather than searching may or may not be
184 Perhaps rewrite wxFile to use FILE* descriptors, so Eof and Flush
187 Find out how to set wxFileSelector position.
