Todo on wxWin 2.0, Windows platform ----------------------------------- HIGH PRIORITY ------------- Integrate Robert's wxGrid enhancements. Find/add wxThread sample - Arthur T-D? wxControl dimensions should be optionally based on dialog font size for portability (dialog units as per Windows). Implement wxDC floating point transformations. Remove transformation from device to logical coordinates from events e.g. mouse events. Add wxDC::DeviceToLogical -> wxPoint etc (convenience accessors). Revamp Dialog Editor for new controls and properties (e.g. window id). Registry classes (check out wxConfig class - see issues.txt). Change DnD classes to use global symbols, and wxString. Update manual. wxApp changes DONE wxMenu changes DONE wxModule DONE wxRegion DONE wxFile DONE wxTempFile wxMask DONE wxDC:Blit DONE wxTaskBarIcon DONE wxMsgCatalog etc. wxLog wxConfig, wxRegKey wxTabCtrl DONE wxNotebook wxWave DONE wxJoystick DONE wxStatusBar95 and wxFrame status bar functions wxListBox changes (for ownerdraw functionality) wxThread DONE (except for topic overview) wxHelpController classes DONE (except for Unix ones) wxString wxTString Drag and drop (change API if required, e.g. const). wxCheckListBox wxBaseArray, other arrays (wxOwnerDrawn) Document the include file for each class Write tutorial. Other static classes. Makefiles for other compilers. Generic makefiles? Rewrite makefiles to maintain simultaneous debug/release objects. More wxSystemSettings (see comment in settings.cpp). wxSocket integration. wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList integration with Robert Roebling's classes. Convert OGL, other utilities and samples. Check TODO entries. Change #include "wx/xxx.h" to #include Tidy code further, e.g. formatting from DevStudio, plus standard header. Shell function to invoke a document with open, print, whatever... wxTextCtrl (and wxMultiText/wxTextWindow in wxWin 1.xx) - differences between Edit and RichEdit controls. Make use of Vadim's gettext implementation throughout wxWin code. Document it. Change wxUpdateIterator to use wxRegion; or scrap wxUpdateIterator? See wxGTK. Check WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY mode, remove any unnecessary #ifdefs. Retain callback functions; have semi-compatible callback function prototypes for all controls, at least in WXWIN_COMPATIBLE mode, but retain (Set)Callback for all compilations. This is following a panicky response to losing callbacks. Merge dib.cpp, dibutils.cpp. Simplify the toolbar samples. Add a wxTabCtrl sample. EVT_ENTER/LEAVE_WINDOW: Perhaps one approach to reliable implementation of EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW is to set a flag when the mouse pointer is in a window, then in idle time, check this window. If the flag is set but the mouse pointer is outside the window, then it's time to generate an EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW. This would be necessary at least for the case when the mouse cursor goes off the application windows, and no motion event was generated (i.e. you moved the mouse quickly!). If it goes from one app window to another, you could generate the event sooner. LOW PRIORITY ------------ Debug PNG support in wxBitmap (no 4-bit support), and possibly add a convertor from PNG to HICON. We could perhaps also support inclusion of PNGs into a .res file as a custom resource. Fonts: ability to enumerate them. Angled text. Eliminate Set/GetDefaultBackgroundColour? Just take background colour for child control instead. Think about reimplementing wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap using BS_BITMAP, SS_BITMAP - but this may not allow wxBitmap argument, so instead just allow controls loaded from native resource to deal with this style and call default processing. Completion of drag and drop support (Vadim). Better clipboard support. Toolbars: use event tables not virtual functions. wxWizard class? Doc/view - have some standard views/docs e.g. wxTextView. wxClassWizard for generating files, chunks of code. Miscellaneous file/system function wrappers. wxImage or replacement; further wxBitmap/wxIcon etc. functions (load animated icos). Integrate existing multimedia classes. Rich text class? Optimize size further. wxThread integration. Look at WinCE stuff incl. database classes. Improve conversion guide, compatibility classes, tools? Bug database. ActiveX support? OpenGL integration. Menu bitmaps - document Vadim's enhancements. Enhance Tex2RTF to generate Microsoft HTML help, perhaps Netscape HTML help also. wxCreateDynamicObject is apparently slow: ~ 2000 calls to strcmp. Need to use some kind of hash table scheme. Write wxDisplay class for querying settings and passing to wxFrame to mirror the X situation (multiple displays). Write translator between old and new .wxr formats (including substituting static text for obsolete labels). Improve and expand wxSizer classes. Write more validators. Classes for file/OS utility functions. Add support for more static controls e.g. wxStaticLine. GDI objects could be optimised further in constructors by searching for a matching, pre-existing object, and assigning from that, thus sharing the internal handle. A problem with this arises if you wish to change the data. But this can be handled by un-refing and creating a new handle. So we could reuse many Windows GDI objects without troubling the programmer. We might wish to switch this off in certain circumstances, e.g. wxEnableGDIReuse(FALSE); wxBrush brush(...); wxEnableGDIReuse(TRUE); or even wxGDIReuse reuse(FALSE); wxBrush brush(...); which lasts until its scope ends. This might be needed e.g. if we needed to ensure that the operation was maximally efficient (creating a new object rather than searching may or may not be more efficient). Perhaps rewrite wxFile to use FILE* descriptors, so Eof and Flush can work.
