so I don't forget:
2014-02-12 09:54:58 -06:00
- Window.SizeToFit() or WIndow.OptimalSize() (use: `Window.SetSize(Window.OptimalSize())`) for sizing a window to the control's interest
2014-02-12 09:58:05 -06:00
- Control.Show()/Control.Hide()
2014-02-13 16:04:57 -06:00
- Groupbox
2014-02-14 11:16:27 -06:00
- determine if a selection in a non-editable combobox has been made
2014-02-14 11:18:21 -06:00
- see if we really need to track errors on Combobox.Selection()
- in fact, see if we really need to track errors on a lot of things...
- character-limited entry fields, numeric entry fields, multiline entry fields
2014-02-14 14:00:59 -06:00
- possible rename of LineEdit?
- especially for password fields - NewPasswordEntry()?
2014-02-14 16:31:21 -06:00
- more flexible size appropriation: allow a small button to be at the top of everything in the main() example here
- [Windows] should ListBox have a border style?
- a different border on LineEdits?
2014-02-14 16:31:21 -06:00
- padding and spacing in Stack; maybe a setting in Stack which keeps controls at their preferred size?
2014-02-14 16:32:44 -06:00
- change Stack/Combobox/Listbox constructors so that there's a separate constructor for each variant, rather than passing in parameters?
2014-02-14 19:42:26 -06:00
- allow Combobox to have initial settings
2014-02-15 13:26:37 -06:00
- Combobox and Listbox insertions and deletions should allow bulk (...string)
- Combobox/Listbox.DeleteAll
- Combobox/Listbox.Select (with Listbox.Select allowing bulk)
- Listbox.SelectAll
2014-02-15 17:15:24 -06:00
- have Combobox.InsertBefore, Listbox.InsertBefore, Combobox.Delete, and Listbox.Delete return an error on invalid index before creation
2014-02-17 01:55:59 -06:00
- make the Windows implementation of message boxes run on uitask
- ensure MsgBoxError can run if initialization failed if things change ever
2014-02-12 09:54:58 -06:00
important things:
2014-03-01 14:23:49 -06:00
- ui.Go() should exit when the main() you pass in exits
- because the main event loop is not called if initialization fails, it is presently impossible for MsgBoxError() to work if UI initialization fails; this basically means we cannot allow initializiation to fail on Mac OS X if we want to be able to report UI init failures to the user with one
- Cocoa coordinates have (0,0) at the bottom left: need to fix this somehow
- there's no GTK+ error handling whatsoever; we need to figure out how it works
2014-02-16 15:56:25 -06:00
- make sure GTK+ documentation point differences don't matter
2014-02-24 13:56:11 -06:00
- button sizes and LineEdit sizes on Windows seem too big; Comboboxes have margins
- sometimes the size of the drop-down part of a Combobox becomes 0 or 1 or some other impossibly small value on Windows
2014-03-01 03:46:42 -06:00
- make gcc (Unix)/clang (Mac OS X) pedantic about warnings/errors; also -Werror
super ultra important things:
- for some reason events are now delayed on windows
- the windows build appears to be unstable:
- 64-bit doesn't work, period: it crashes in malloc in wine with heap corruption warnings aplenty during DLL loading; in windows 7 it works fine
- 32-bit: it works now, but if I save the class name converted to UTF-16 beforehand, wine indicates that the class name is replaced with the window title, so something there is wrong...
- on 64-bit windows 7 comboboxes don't show their lists
2014-02-15 13:03:46 -06:00
- handle in-library panics (internal errors) by reporting them to the user
- david wendt is telling me he's getting frequent crashes on his end with the GTK+ amd64 build...
TODO re-evaluate; I think I fixed them all ages ago now
- occasionally I get
panic: error sending message to message loop to call function: Invalid thread ID.
when starting up the windows/386 build; race in ui()/msgloop()?
2014-02-12 10:34:10 -06:00
important things:
2014-02-14 16:31:21 -06:00
- Control.preferredSize() (definitely needed for Grid and Form)
2014-02-15 12:09:51 -06:00
- make specific wording in documentation consistent (make/create, etc.)
- make passing of parameters and type conversions of parameters to uitask consistent
2014-02-12 10:34:10 -06:00
2014-02-12 09:54:58 -06:00
far off:
- localization
2014-02-12 10:34:36 -06:00
- strip unused constants from the Windows files
- combine more Windows files; rename some?
2014-02-13 16:04:57 -06:00
maybe:
- rename Stack to Box?
2014-02-15 13:26:37 -06:00
- make Combobox and Listbox satisfy sort.Interface?
2014-02-24 23:34:21 -06:00
- indeterminate progress bars (not supported on Windows 2000)
