Vadim Zeitlin f69dbaa1ae Introduce MSW ARM64 support This is a preliminary ARM64 platform support for wxWidgets at "it compiles" stage. This will allow building and testing wxWidgets based apps for oncoming Windows 10 ARM64. Requirements: - Visual Studio 2017 Update 4 or later with Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM64 component installed Building: 1. Open command prompt. 2. Change directory to build\msw subfolder. 3. Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsamd64_arm64.bat" once. 4. Use `nmake TARGET_CPU=ARM64 ...` to build required flavor of wxWidget libraries. Notes: 1. Building of .sln/.vcxproj files does not support ARM64 yet. This requires to hardcode Windows SDK to 10.0.15063.0 or later in *.vcxproj files, which would render them non-compilable in older Visual Studio versions. Microsoft is aware of this issue and is planning a fix in the next version of Visual Studio. 2. wxmsw31ud_gl.dll does not build yet. Awaiting Microsoft to deliver missing opengl32.lib for ARM64. Please, specify USE_OPENGL=0. Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/923		2018-09-17 22:34:32 +02:00

 wxWidgets Controls Screenshot Generator
 =======================================

 This utility is developed to automatically generate screenshots of the wxWidgets
 controls for use in wxWidgets documentation.

 The main part of the GUI (guiframe.h/guiframe.cpp) was generated with wxFormBuilder
 (http://wxformbuilder.org/), a powerful cross-platform open-source RAD tool. Now its
 trace is removed so we can maintain the code without using it.


===User Guide: How To Use==

The screenshots will be generated under sub-directory "screenshots" silently.
Please monitor this folder before taking screenshots using "File->Open screenshots folder".

1) The menu "Capture->Full screen" can take a screeshot for the fullscreen. It's designed
for testing purpose only.

2) The menu "Capture->Regions<Begin>" and "Capture->Regions<End>" was the semi-auto part,
and now it's deprecated and will be removed soon.

3) Finally the full-auto mode: "Capture->Capture All" or Ctrl+Alt+A, follow the instructions
 and all the screenshots will be generated correctly under the subdirectory "screenshots".

 ==Developer Guide: How To Add More Controls==

 (Coming soon)

 ==To-do List==

 1) Remove wxAuiNoteBook related lagacy codes, which is no longer useful;

 2) Refactor the GUI code, which was generated by wxFormBuilder, but it's messy for human to
 maintain;

 3) Remove the class CtrlMaskOut since semi-auto part of this utility is no longer needed.

 4) Clearify the interface of class AutoCaptureMechanism and document how to add a new control
 that needs to take screenshots, and how to adjust it to avoid bugs in wxRTTI system and
 wxWindow::GetScreenRect();

 5) Make this utility easier to configure;

 6) Add test functionality to confirm bugs in wxRTTI system and wxWindow::GetScreenRect().
