+
+Errors/warnings
+===============
+
+In file ../../src/msw/window.cpp at line 1294: 'UpdateWindow' failed with error 0x00000000 (Success).
+
+ - caused because there are no paint messages pending. Presumed
+ harmless.
+
+In file ../../src/msw/dc.cpp at line 1838: 'BitBlt' failed with error 0x00000000 (Success).
+
+ - caused because the window isn't mapped, and MwPrepareDC in wingdi.c
+ fails (hwnd->unmapcount is non-zero). Presumed harmless.
+
+Recursive paint problem, e.g. when clicking the 'Press Me!'
+button in the widgets sample a few times, until the text control
+is full.
+
+ - possibly the scrollbar is causing the text control to be
+ updated, which somehow effects the scrollbar, which causes
+ a window update, etc.
+
+Sluggish updates.
+
+ - probably because many image to bitmap conversions are being
+ done on update, and bitmaps should probably be cached.
+
+
Things missing from MicroWindows that need to be worked around
==============================================================
+wxImage/inline XPM/::CreateBitmap support
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This is the main obstacle to getting a good range
+of widgets working, since wxUniversal uses inline XPMs
+to implement most of the widgets.
+
+See src/engine/devimage.c for routines for loading JPEGs,
+XPMs etc. Unfortunately the XPM routines are also #ifdefed
+for FILE_IO, even though for inline XPMs we don't need file I/O.
+(Embedded systems tend not to have file I/O, anyway.)
+
+Now, wxWindows has its own XPM decoder, src/common/xpmdecod.cpp,
+so in theory we don't need to use MicroWindows' code there.
+wxImage can load an inline XPM, _but_ we need to convert to
+a wxBitmap since this is what the widgets need.
+
+There is no ::CreateBitmap or BITMAPINFO. (BMPs can be converted
+to C using convbmp, then need to use Gr... functions.)
+
+So how can we convert from wxImage to wxBitmap in MicroWindows?
+
+Well, a simple-minded way would be to use CreateCompatibleBitmap
+which returns an HBITMAP, select it into an HDC, and draw
+the pixels from the wxImage to the HDC one by one with SetPixel.
+This is now implemented, but there are problems with masks.
+(a) masks have to be created at screen depth because BitBlt/GrDraw
+can't cope with differing depths, and (b) masked blitting
+is still not working (try enabling mask creation in
+wxBitmap::CreateFromImage by setting USE_MASKS to 1).
+
+
+Other missing features
+----------------------
+
No ::GetKeyState (see include/wx/msw/private.h). Should probably use
GdOpenKeyboard/GdCloseKeyboard/GdReadKeyboard. Could perhaps emulate
GetKeyState this way.
-No ::CreateBitmap or BITMAPINFO. But BMPs can be converted
-to C using convbmp, then need to use Gr... functions.
-We MUST implement creation from XPMs, since wxUniversal
-makes use of XPMs, or else create our own bitmaps for
-drawing radioboxes, checkboxes etc.: see renderers
-in src/univ.
-
No ::DestroyIcon, ::DestroyCursor - use ::DestroyObject instead?
Also no LoadCursor, LoadImage. So how do we make cursors? No ::SetCursor.
in wxSystemSettings (worked around by passing HFONT to
the wxFont constructor).
+
+Applying patches by hand
+========================
+
+The full altered functions are given below in case you have
+to apply them by hand.
+
+src/mwin/winevent.c
+-------------------
+
+A second test has been added to this line:
+
+ if(hittest == HTCLIENT || hwnd == GetCapture()) {
+
+in MwTranslateMouseMessage below. This corrects a mouse message
+bug.
+
+/*
+ * Translate and deliver hardware mouse message to proper window.
+ */
+void
+MwTranslateMouseMessage(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,int hittest)
+{
+ POINT pt;
+ DWORD tick;
+ static UINT lastmsg = 0;
+ static HWND lasthwnd;
+ static DWORD lasttick;
+ static int lastx, lasty;
+
+ /* determine double click eligibility*/
+ if(msg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN || msg == WM_RBUTTONDOWN) {
+ tick = GetTickCount();
+ if((hwnd->pClass->style & CS_DBLCLKS) &&
+ msg == lastmsg && hwnd == lasthwnd &&
+ tick - lasttick < DBLCLICKSPEED &&
+ abs(cursorx-lastx) < mwSYSMETRICS_CXDOUBLECLK &&
+ abs(cursory-lasty) < mwSYSMETRICS_CYDOUBLECLK)
+ msg += (WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK - WM_LBUTTONDOWN);
+ lastmsg = msg;
+ lasthwnd = hwnd;
+ lasttick = tick;
+ lastx = cursorx;
+ lasty = cursory;
+ }
+
+ /*
+ * We always send nc mouse message
+ * unlike Windows, for HTCLIENT default processing
+ */

+---------
+
