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. + +High Priority +------------- - 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.) +- Also work out why wxWindow::SetFont causes the widget to be shrunk + to fit its text, in dialogs. Uncomment the SetFont implementation and pop + up a dialog, e.g. an About box. Widgets are arranged + incorrectly. Seems to be OK for non-dialog panels, once the + size has been restored after the font setting. + In fact it seems OK for dialogs now!!! Weird. + +- ChangeFont should have an extra arg, to allow for not resizing + the window back to the original size after setting the font. + Also don't call SetFont from constructor, assign the font and + call ChangeFont so we can pass FALSE if the size has been passed + as the default (which means: wxWin should choose an appropriate + size, so Motif should expand/contract the widget as appropriate). + +- Colour setting in widgets (almost done). + +- 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. + +- wxSpinButton -- wxCheckBoxList +- 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. -- Remaining common widgets (wxListBox, wxRadioBox, wxRadioButton, wxChoice, - wxGauge, wxComboBox etc.). Use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68. +- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors. -- wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving. +- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these. -- Scrolling in wxWindow. +- Find out why modal dialogs give a grab warning. -- 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. +- wxSystemSettings. Eventually, should have control panel-like utility + to change colours/fonts but meanwhile should maybe read them + from a file. -- MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this. +- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK) -- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for - Linux) +- Miscellaneous events. -- Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector. Use a native Motif wxMessageBox. - Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors. +- Write makefiles for all samples and utilities. -- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector). +- Create some samples for testing. -- 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. +- 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. -- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. - Netscape is running. +- 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. -- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK's). +- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK). -- Colour and font setting in widgets. +- 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. -- wxSystemSettings +- Get Dialog Editor working under Motif. -- wxTimer +- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at + http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/ -- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK) +- 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). - Copy and paste, drag and drop.
