1wxMotif TODO 2------------ 3 4Updated: 11/02/99 5 6 -------------------------------o------------------------- 7 8General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets. 9ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/motif 10 11Also, grep for TODO comments in source. 12 13High Priority 14------------- 15 16- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin 17 app to allow changing settings interactively. 18 19- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted 20 event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed 21 anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable 22 the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp. 23 24- wxToolTip 25 26- Miscellaneous events. 27 28- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers. 29 30Low Priority 31------------ 32 33- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see 34 wxWindow::DoPaint). 35 36- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's 37 visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0. 38 39- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is 40 currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak. 41 42- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at 43 http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/. 44 45 We need to: 46 - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough 47 to compile the source. 48 - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files 49 listed. 50 - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct 51 flags for zlib/png compilation. 52 - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should 53 probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class. 54 - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar, 55 history list). 56 57- Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag 58 and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/ 59 or use Motif drag and drop as described here: 60 http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html 61 62- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g. 63 Netscape is running. See: 64 http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html 65 66- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply 67 implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions. 68 69- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for 70 Linux) 71 72- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under 73 gcc 74
