so I don't forget:

  • Window.SizeToFit() or WIndow.OptimalSize() (use: Window.SetSize(Window.OptimalSize())) for sizing a window to the control's interest
  • Control.Show()/Control.Hide()
  • Control.SetText()
  • Groupbox
  • determine if a selection in a non-editable combobox has been made
  • 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...
  • password entry fields, character-limited entry fields, numeric entry fields, multiline entry fields
    • possible rename of LineEdit?
  • 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?
  • padding and spacing in Stack; maybe a setting in Stack which keeps controls at their preferred size?
  • change Stack/Combobox/Listbox constructors so that there's a separate constructor for each variant, rather than passing in parameters?
  • allow Combobox to have initial settings
  • Combobox and Listbox insertions and deletions should allow bulk (...string)
  • Combobox/Listbox.DeleteAll
  • Combobox/Listbox.Select (with Listbox.Select allowing bulk)
  • Listbox.SelectAll

super ultra important things:

  • 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 CreateWindowExW complains about an unregistered window class, yet the RegisterClassW appears to have succeeded and examining the stack in WinDbg indicates the correct class name is being sent (see below)
    • 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...
  • handle in-library panics (internal errors) by reporting them to the user

important things:

  • maybe make it so sysData doesn't need specialized info on every control type?
  • write an implementation documentation.
  • Control.preferredSize() (definitely needed for Grid and Form)
  • make specific wording in documentation consistent (make/create, etc.)
  • make passing of parameters and type conversions of parameters to uitask consistent

far off:

  • localization
  • strip unused constants from the Windows files
  • combine more Windows files; rename some?

maybe:

  • rename Stack to Box?
  • make Combobox and Listbox satisfy sort.Interface?
  • this: [16:27] pietro10: depends what you mean by safe [16:27] pietro10: sounds like you should move this functionality into a function though. [16:28] (so the user can decide what to do with the error) [16:28] typically people don't like their libraries calling exit :)
