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. - Also work out why wxWindow::SetFont causes the widget to be shrunk to fit its text. - 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. See: http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html - wxCheckBoxList - Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector). - Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox. - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for Linux)
