wxMotif TODO
------------
Updated: 20/10/98
-------------------------------o-------------------------
General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets.
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/motif
Also, grep for TODO comments in source.
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, 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.
- Colour setting in widgets.
- Implementation of OnEraseBackground.
- wxBitmapCheckBox, wxBitmapRadioButton
- wxSpinButton
- 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.
- Complete the MDI implementation. Could eventually alter the MDI
widgets to be more Windows-like -- currently it's half-hearted.
- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors.
- 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.
- wxSystemSettings
- wxTimer
- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
- 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
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)
- Blit scaling
