  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 - wxToolTip
  25
  26 - Miscellaneous events.
  27
  28 - Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
  29
  30 Low Priority
  31 ------------
  32
  33 - Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
  34   wxWindow::DoPaint).
  35
  36 - Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
  37   visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
  38
  39 - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
  40   currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
  41
  42 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
  43   http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
  44
  45   We need to:
  46   - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough
  47     to compile the source.
  48   - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files
  49     listed.
  50   - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct
  51     flags for zlib/png compilation.
  52   - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should
  53     probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class.
  54   - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
  55     history list).
  56
  57 - Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
  58   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
  59   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
  60   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
  61
  62 - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
  63   Netscape is running. See:
  64   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html
  65
  66 - wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
  67   implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions.
  68
  69 - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
  70   Linux)
  71
  72 - Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
  73   gcc
