wxMicroWindows port
|

This is a snapshot of my experimental port of wxWindows to
|
||
|
|
MicroWindows. Widgets are supplied by the wxUniversal project,
|
||
|
|
while the underlying port uses the Windows ports with small
|
||
|
|
modifications for the MicroWindows API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are many things missing from MicroWindows that will
|
||
|
|
make the port quite limited for the time being. I haven't
|
||
|
|
worked out how to create bitmaps, though there is a BMP to C
|
||
|
|
converter. There are no menus, no common dialogs, and only
|
||
|
|
one WIN32 app may be run at a time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some things can no doubt be worked around, and/or MicroWindows
|
||
|
|
itself tweaked. Lots of wxWin functionality is just switched off or
|
||
|
|
commented out.
|
||

|
Installation
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First install MicroWindows - untar it, change config to
|
||
|
|
use X11 and any other options you feel fit, apply
|
||
|
|
microwindows.patches to fix PeekMessage, and compile
|
||
|
|
(type 'make' from within the src directory).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Untar the wxMicroWindows port, and change the TOP variable at the
|
||
|
|
top of src/microwin/Makefile to reflect where MicroWindows is installed.
|
||
|
|
Type 'make all' from src/microwin. To clean, use cleanwx and NOT clean
|
||
|
|
since that will clean MicroWindows itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make the sample, cd into samples/minimal, edit the TOP variable,
|
||
|
|
and type 'make all'.
|
||
|
|
Running 'minimal' runs the virtual MicroWindows desktop
|
||
|
|
and the minimal sample, since in a MicroWindows WIN32 application
|
||
|
|
they are one and the same binary.

Status

A frame comes up :-)

Notes
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::GetKeyState (see microwin/private.h). Should probably use GdOpenKeyboard/GdCloseKeyboard/GdReadKeyboard. Could perhaps emulate GetKeyState this way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::CreateBitmap or BITMAPINFO. But BMPs can be converted
|
||
|
|
to C using convbmp, then need to use Gr... functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::DestroyIcon, ::DestroyCursor - use ::DestroyObject instead?
|
||
|
|
Also no LoadCursor, LoadImage. So how do we make cursors? No ::SetCursor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wxDC: no ::GetTextColor, ::GetBkColor, ::IntersectClipRect,
|
||
|
|
::GetClipBox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::SetMenu, so no menus or menubars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::GetObject so we can't get LOGFONT from an HFONT
|
||
|
|
in wxSystemSettings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No ::CreateDialog so how do we create dialogs? Simulate
|
||
|
|
one with a frame I guess.
