+General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets.
+ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/motif
-- wxScreenDC
+Also, grep for TODO comments in source.
-- Extra wxBitmap formats. What about XPMs, can we assume
- libxpm exists and use that?
+High Priority
+-------------
- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
- Also work out why wxWindow::SetFont causes the widget to be shrunk
- to fit its text.
-
-- Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
-
-- wxRadioBox
+ 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.
-- wxRadioButton
+- Colour setting in widgets.
-- wxComboBox: use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68
+- Implementation of OnEraseBackground.
-- wxGauge: use xmgauge as per wxWin 1.68
+- wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton
- wxSpinButton
-- wxSlider
-
- wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving.
- 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.
-- MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this.
+- Complete the MDI implementation. Could eventually alter the MDI
+ widgets to be more Windows-like -- currently it's half-hearted.
-- Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector.
- Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
+- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors.
-- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: enhance these.
+- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these.
- 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.
-- Colour and font setting in widgets.
-
- wxSystemSettings
- wxTimer
- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
-- Write makefiles for all samples.
+- Miscellaneous events.
+
+- Write makefiles for all samples and utilities.
- Create some samples for testing.
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.
+
+- 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).
- Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
- wxCheckBoxList
-- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
+- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector)
-- Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox.
+- Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox
- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
Linux)
-
+- Blit scaling
