wxMotif TODO

+Updated: 11/02/99
-------------------------------o-------------------------
High Priority
-------------
-- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
- currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
-
-- Colour setting in widgets (almost done). Should scrollbars take
- on the background colour? Not right for e.g. wxScrolledWindows,
- so maybe have wxSystemSettings value for scrollbar colour, and/or
- ability to set scrollbar colour independently.
-
-- Optimize wxWindow OnPaint to avoid flicker, collapsing Expose events
- as per flicker fix in 1.68. It will be tricky to avoid
- interfering with non-wxScrolledWindow widgets except by
- explicitly testing for wxScrolledWindow.
+- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
+ app to allow changing settings interactively.
-- Implementation of OnEraseBackground. How? Call OnEraseBackground
- just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background.
- However, this is usually OK, because the default wxWindow::OnEraseBackground
- can do nothing (SetBackgroundColour will make the background look OK).
- And if a custom OnEraseBackground uses the same colour as the window
- background, no flicker will be seen. If it does something else, such as
- painting a tiled bitmap, then a slight flicker might be seen unless
- X can be persuaded not to repaint the window background by default.
+- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted
+ event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed
+ anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
+ the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.
-- wxNotebook bug: why doesn't the notebook sample appear until the
- user resizes the window again? But it's OK for MDI. Strange.
-
-- wxSpinButton
+- wxToolTip
- Miscellaneous events.
-- Thread classes (copy wxGTK's).
-
-- Write makefiles for all samples and utilities.
-
-- Create some samples for testing.
+- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
Low Priority
------------
-- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
-
-- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
- wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
- when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
- unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats.
+- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
+ wxWindow::DoPaint).
-- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK).
+- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
+ visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
-- Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
- and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be
- sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor.
-
-- Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
+- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
+ currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
- add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
history list).
-- Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
+- Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions.
-- wxCheckBoxList
-
-- wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton
-
-- Reimplement combobox using Lesstif's widget (avoiding GPL'ed
- widget currently used).
-
- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
Linux)
-- Blit scaling
-
-- Get ODBC classes and sample working.
-
- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
- gcc
\ No newline at end of file
+ gcc
