-Find/add wxThread sample - Arthur T-D?
+Add further controls and properties to Dialog Editor.

 
 

-wxControl dimensions should be optionally based on dialog font
-size for portability (dialog units as per Windows).
-
-Implement wxDC floating point transformations.
-
-Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).
+Add centring, right justify styles to wxStaticText.

 
 

-Revamp Dialog Editor for new controls and properties (e.g.
-window id).
-
-Tidy wxConfig API.
-
-Change DnD classes to use global symbols, and wxString.
-
-Update manual.

-    Stream classes
-    Functions
+Extend wxSystemSettings to get symbols for current nationality,
+e.g. ',' instead of '.' for decimal points.

 
 

-Write tutorial.
+wxToolTip::Enable should be static for wxGTK compatibility (VZ)

 
 

-A wxDC function (or two) for drawing 3D edges.
+LOW PRIORITY (MEDIUM TERM)
+--------------------------

 
 

-Makefiles for other compilers. Generic makefiles?
-Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release
-objects.
+Supply VC++ project generator utility.

 
 More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).

-Convert remaining utilities e.g. (GLCanvas; wxGraphLayout) and samples
-
-Check TODO entries.

 Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...

-Make use of Vadim's gettext implementation throughout wxWin code.
-Document it.
-
-Retain callback functions; have semi-compatible callback function prototypes
-for all controls, at least in WXWIN_COMPATIBLE mode, but
-retain (Set)Callback for all compilations. This is following a
-panicky response to losing callbacks.
-
-Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp (see also some DIB code in bitmap.cpp).
-
-Add a wxTabCtrl sample.
+Write tutorial.

 
 

-Improve printing. More API functions for printer DCs (to get
-printer characteristics) and more reliable printing framework.
+Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).

 
 Add GetIcon, GetBitmap to wxImageList. Perhaps store bitmaps
 in image list so we can get them later.

-Add centring, right justify styles to wxStaticText.
-
-Synchronize drawing functions on all platforms, using Chris's
-code to test them.
-
-LOW PRIORITY
-------------
-
-Debug PNG support in wxBitmap (no 4-bit support), and possibly add a convertor from PNG
-to HICON. We could perhaps also support inclusion of PNGs into
-a .res file as a custom resource.
-
-Fonts: ability to enumerate them.
-
-Angled text.
-
-Eliminate Set/GetDefaultBackgroundColour? Just take background
-colour for child control instead.
-
-Think about reimplementing wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap using
-BS_BITMAP, SS_BITMAP - but this may not allow wxBitmap
-argument, so instead just allow controls loaded from native
-resource to deal with this style and call default processing.
-
-Better clipboard support.
-
-wxWizard class?
-
-Doc/view - have some standard views/docs e.g. wxTextView.
-
-wxClassWizard for generating files, chunks of code.
-
-Miscellaneous file/system function wrappers.
-
-wxImage or replacement; further wxBitmap/wxIcon etc. functions
-(load animated icos).
-
-Integrate existing multimedia classes.
-
-Rich text class?
-
-Look at WinCE stuff incl. database classes.
-
-Improve conversion guide, compatibility classes, tools?
-
-Bug database.
-
-ActiveX support?
-
-OpenGL integration.
+Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp (see also some DIB code in bitmap.cpp).

 
 Menu bitmaps - document Vadim's enhancements.

-Enhance Tex2RTF to generate Microsoft HTML help, perhaps Netscape
-HTML help also.

 wxCreateDynamicObject is apparently slow: ~ 2000 calls to strcmp. Need to
 use some kind of hash table scheme.
 
 Write wxDisplay class for querying settings and passing
 to wxFrame to mirror the X situation (multiple displays).

-Write translator between old and new .wxr formats (including
-substituting static text for obsolete labels).
+Perhaps rewrite wxFile to use FILE* descriptors, so Eof and Flush
+can work.
+
+Find out how to set wxFileDialog position.

 
 

-Improve and expand wxSizer classes.
+Implement wxDC floating point transformations.

 
 

-Write more validators. Also, how do they work if loading the
-dialog from a .wxr? Could call SetValidator from within
-InitDialog for all controls, then call TransferDataToWindow.
+A wxDC function (or two) for drawing 3D edges?

 
 

-Classes for file/OS utility functions.
+LOW PRIORITY (LONG TERM)
+------------------------

 
 

-Add support for more static controls e.g. wxStaticLine.
+ActiveX support
+
+Look at porting to WinCE
