wxMotif TODO
------------
Updated: 16/10/98
-------------------------------o-------------------------
High Priority
-------------
- wxScreenDC
- Extra wxBitmap formats. What about XPMs, can we assume
libxpm exists and use that?
- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
- Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
- wxRadioBox
- wxRadioButton
- wxComboBox: use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68
- wxGauge: use xmgauge as per wxWin 1.68
- 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.
- Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector.
Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: 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.
- Create some samples for testing.
Low Priority
------------
- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK).
- 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.
- Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/
- 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. 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 colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
Netscape is running.
- wxCheckBoxList
- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
- Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox.
- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
Linux)
