wxMotif TODO

+Updated: 11/02/99
-------------------------------o-------------------------
- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
app to allow changing settings interactively.
-- 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.
-
-- 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.
- wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's
OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample).
-- wxSpinButton
-
- wxToolTip
- Miscellaneous events.
- Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP.
-- Implement scaled Blit as per John Price's impementation for 1.68.
+- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
Low Priority
------------
+- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
+ wxWindow::DoPaint).
+
- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats.
-- 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.
+- Get Dialog Editor working (better) under Motif.
- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
- 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
