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. - -- wxNotebook bug: why doesn't the notebook sample appear until the - user resizes the window again? But it's OK for MDI. Strange. - -- wxSpinButton +- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin + app to allow changing settings interactively. -- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors. +- 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.

Eventually, should have control panel-like utility - to change colours/fonts but meanwhile should maybe read them - from a file. - -- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK) - -- wxGrid: scrollbars don't hide; problem with cell selection. - -- MDI: seems to be broken for a more complex application I'm testing. - Frame decorations don't draw properly, and a child window doesn't - process events properly. So probably we should have an alternative - implementation that uses tabs, a la wxGTK. The system menu could - be implemented using a pop-up menu that applies to the currently - active window. - -- Controls in a wxToolBar don't work. Probably due to form layout - problems; the workaround is to use a separate panel for controls. +- wxToolTip - Miscellaneous events. -- 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. - Use wxGTK config system? It's really complex to debug and - doesn't offer a way of compiling apps outside the wxWin - hierarchy. +- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see + wxWindow::DoPaint). -- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68 - wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated.
