What about XPMs, can we assume - libxpm exists and use that? What about PNGs? Can we use gdk - as per wxGTK? Probably not. +Also, grep for TODO comments in source. -- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is - currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak. - -- wxRegion - -- Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.) - -- wxCheckBoxList +High Priority +------------- -- Remaining common widgets (wxListBox, wxRadioBox, wxRadioButton, wxChoice, - wxGauge, wxComboBox etc.). Use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68. +- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin + app to allow changing settings interactively. -- wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving. +- 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. -- Scrolling in wxWindow. +- wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's + OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample). -- A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and - other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a - starting point. +- wxToolTip -- MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this. +- Miscellaneous events. -- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for - Linux) - -- Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector. Use a native Motif wxMessageBox. - Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors. +- Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP. -- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector). +- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers. -- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: enhance these. +Low Priority +------------ -- Write a better generic wxToolBar class than wxToolBarSimple. - Alternatively, write a toolbar using Motif as described here: - http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/Kurt_Huhner/jun96.html. - This article also explains how to implement tooltips. +- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see + wxWindow::DoPaint). -- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. - Netscape is running. +- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's + visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0. -- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK's). - -- Colour and font setting in widgets. +- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is + currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak. -- wxSystemSettings +- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs. -- wxTimer +- 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. -- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK) +- Get Dialog Editor working (better) under Motif. -- Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag +- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at + http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/. + + We need to: + - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough + to compile the source. + - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files + listed. + - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct + flags for zlib/png compilation. + - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should + probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class. + - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar, + history list). + +- 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 -- Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow - created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68 - (see JACS for latest patch). - -- 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. +- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. + Netscape is running. See: + http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html -- Write makefiles for all samples. +- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply + implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions. -- Create some samples for testing. +- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for + Linux) -- Get Dialog Editor working under Motif. +- Get ODBC classes and sample working. -- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at - http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/ +- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under + gcc
