-Integrate Robert's wxGrid enhancements.

-Find/add wxThread sample - Arthur T-D?

-wxControl dimensions should be optionally based on dialog font
-size for portability (dialog units as per Windows).
-
-Implement wxDC floating point transformations.
-
-Remove transformation from device to logical coordinates from
-events e.g. mouse events.
-
-Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).
-
-Revamp Dialog Editor for new controls and properties (e.g.
-window id).
-
-Registry classes (check out wxConfig class - see issues.txt).
-
-Change DnD classes to use global symbols, and wxString.
+Add further controls and properties to Dialog Editor.

-Write tutorial.

-Other static classes.
+Makefiles and/or IDE files for other compilers: Symantec C++,
+Salford C++.

 
 

-Makefiles for other compilers. Generic makefiles?
-Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release
-objects.
-
-More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).
+Check TODO entries in source and manual.

 
 

-wxSocket integration.
+Add centring, right justify styles to wxStaticText.

 
 

-wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList integration with Robert
-Roebling's classes.
+Extend wxSystemSettings to get symbols for current nationality,
+e.g. ',' instead of '.' for decimal points.

 
 

-Convert OGL, other utilities and samples.
+Supply correct ctl3d/odbc lib files for BC++, Watcom (corrupt?)

 
 

-Check TODO entries.
+Implement new wxClipboard and DnD (Vadim)

 
 

-Change #include "wx/xxx.h" to #include <wx/xxx.h>
+wxToolTip::Enable should be static for wxGTK compatibility (VZ)

 
 

-Tidy code further, e.g. formatting from DevStudio, plus
-standard header.
+LOW PRIORITY (MEDIUM TERM)
+--------------------------

 
 

-Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...
+Supply VC++ project generator utility.

 
 

-wxTextCtrl (and wxMultiText/wxTextWindow in wxWin 1.xx) - differences between Edit
-and RichEdit controls.
+Convert remaining utilities e.g. wxGraphLayout.

 
 

-Make use of Vadim's gettext implementation throughout wxWin code.
-Document it.
+More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp).

 
 

-Change wxUpdateIterator to use wxRegion; or scrap
-wxUpdateIterator? See wxGTK.
+Synchronize drawing functions on all platforms, using Chris's
+code to test them.

 
 

-Check WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY mode, remove any unnecessary #ifdefs.
+Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever...

 
 

-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.
+Write tutorial.

 
 

-Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp.
+Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors).

 
 

-Simplify the toolbar samples.
+Generic makefiles? Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release
+objects.

 
 Add a wxTabCtrl sample.

-EVT_ENTER/LEAVE_WINDOW: Perhaps one approach to reliable implementation of
-EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW is to set a flag when the mouse pointer is in a window,
-then in idle time, check this window.
-If the flag is set but the mouse pointer is outside the window, then
-it's time to generate an EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW. This would be necessary at
-least for the case when the mouse cursor goes off the application windows,
-and no motion event was generated (i.e. you moved the mouse quickly!).
-If it goes from one app window to another, you could generate the event sooner.
+Improve printing. More API functions for printer DCs (to get
+printer characteristics) and more reliable printing framework.

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

 resource to deal with this style and call default processing.
