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?
