   2 Todo on wxWin 2, Windows platform
   3 ---------------------------------
   4
   5 HIGH PRIORITY
   6 -------------
   7
   8 Add further controls and properties to Dialog Editor.
   9
  10 Add centring, right justify styles to wxStaticText.
  11
  12 Extend wxSystemSettings to get symbols for current nationality,
  13 e.g. ',' instead of '.' for decimal points.
  14
  15 wxToolTip::Enable should be static for wxGTK compatibility (VZ)
  16
  17 LOW PRIORITY (MEDIUM TERM)
  18 --------------------------
  19
  20 Supply VC++ project generator utility.
  21
  22 More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).
  23
  24 Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...
  25
  26 Write tutorial.
  27
  28 Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).
  29
  30 Add GetIcon, GetBitmap to wxImageList. Perhaps store bitmaps
  31 in image list so we can get them later.
  32
  33 Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp (see also some DIB code in bitmap.cpp).
  34
  35 Menu bitmaps - document Vadim's enhancements.
  36
  37 wxCreateDynamicObject is apparently slow: ~ 2000 calls to strcmp. Need to
  38 use some kind of hash table scheme.
  39
  40 Write wxDisplay class for querying settings and passing
  41 to wxFrame to mirror the X situation (multiple displays).
  42
  43 Perhaps rewrite wxFile to use FILE* descriptors, so Eof and Flush
  44 can work.
  45
  46 Find out how to set wxFileDialog position.
  47
  48 Implement wxDC floating point transformations.
  49
  50 A wxDC function (or two) for drawing 3D edges?
  51
  52 LOW PRIORITY (LONG TERM)
  53 ------------------------
  54
  55 ActiveX support
  56
  57 Look at porting to WinCE
  58
  59 GDI objects could be optimised further in constructors by
  60 searching for a matching, pre-existing object, and assigning from
  61 that, thus sharing the internal handle. A problem with this
  62 arises if you wish to change the data. But this can be handled by
  63 un-refing and creating a new handle. So we could reuse many
  64 Windows GDI objects without troubling the programmer. We might
  65 wish to switch this off in certain circumstances, e.g.
  66
  67     wxEnableGDIReuse(FALSE);
  68     wxBrush brush(...);
  69     wxEnableGDIReuse(TRUE);
  70
  71 or even
  72
  73     wxGDIReuse reuse(FALSE);
  74     wxBrush brush(...);
  75
  76 which lasts until its scope ends. This might be needed e.g. if we
  77 needed to ensure that the operation was maximally efficient
  78 (creating a new object rather than searching may or may not be
  79 more efficient).
  80
  81 Integrate Guilhem's multimedia classes: documentation, makefiles,
  82 different platforms.
  83
  84 Rich text class.
