imminent:
- the new sizing infrasructure does not work with os x
- I'm surprsied now that it worked on GTK+
- the addition of container to stack/grid/simplegrid doesn't actually fix the problem of simplifying container hiding
- so something different is needed
- perhaps get rid of container entirely
- keep goContainer (the C GtkContainer/NSView subclasses) around for the purpose of autommated resizing
- on Windows, gouiwindow and the button and (eventual) group subclasses will need to respond to WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED to size the child
- we WILL need to implement containerShow() and containerHide() which respect the programmer's show/hide settings
- for GTK+, all widget size allocations need to be relative to the window, not the parent; this is different from Windows and Mac OS X
mac os x sizing is now completely broken
- need to catch window initial sizes
- need to catch tab changes
- can't just resize every tab to the current tab size; that doesn't seem to work
password fields: caps lock warnings
mac os x
Textbox
refuse first responder
Textbox does not work at all
new control stuff
Tab, Group
- should host Controls directly?
- should have sharedWndProc()
- Tab needs Margined
more flexible sizing determination
Tab needs a SetMargined(n), Margined(n)
so will Popover
textfield should have a method that allows control over the preferred number of characters, for sizing purposes
Multiline text fields and standalone labels
Group
Mac OS X: NSBox
container_darwin.m: figure out if our setFrameSize: thing applies to resizing the groupbox as well
Control
Enable()
Disable()
Table
refresh only selected rows of view to avoid flicker (especially on Windows)
add functions for header manipulation
background color
row titles
Tab
// [TODO if each tab of your Tab is going to have the same content Controls, then use LikeTab instead, to conserve resources]
// probably not a good idea
Delete()
// Delete removes the given tab.
// It panics if index is out of range.
// After Delete(), the effect of accessing the Control of the deleted tab or any of its children is undefned. [TODO reword?]
investigate close buttons (especially for LikeTab)
LikeArea is probably going to have to be a custom control
Area
keyboard scrolling
OpenTextAreaAt() to allow editing of text blocks from within Areas (only after I add TextArea; it will use TextAreas themselves, rather than providing its own)
OpenTextFieldAt(): more platform-specific finished editing options; escape key for cancelling too?
bounds checking in Select()
DPI()
Tree
Mac OS X: make sure newScrollView() has the correct parameters for Table and Tree (and that Area has the appropriate ones from both)
TextArea
Mac OS X: be sure to call disableAutocorrect()
Mac OS X
label alignment
// in the other case, the most correct thing would be for Label to be aligned to the alignment rect, but I can't get this working, and it looks fine as it is anyway
other controls
same rules? checkboxes seem damning...
ok in general
spacing applies to alignment rects
will conflict with Stack/Grid precalculation
unless we resize the control and move it around to suit
Tabs seem to have differnt margin rules
need to check padding rules within Tabs
text alignment (think labels and checkboxes) may be a perpetual problem though
activateIgnoringOtherApps: and command line programs: evaluate just how much it will matter
http://stackoverflow.com/a/25318870/3408572
use the undocumented _CFRunLoopSetCurrent() API to drop the stupid "must run on the man thread" restriction
TextField
figure out numerics because you CAN paste into numeric boxes on Windows and GTK+ has no built-in number validator as far as I know
will likely just use Invalid()
Stack, SimpleGrid, Grid
method calls should trigger re-layout of windows
default buttons
figure out how they interact with Areas (especially on GTK+, where GtkEntry somehow has special handling for this)
in general
new moving stack and future moving heap make package ui a pain in general
issue 8310: watch for changes
Combobox/Listbox
Select() for selecting a row, like in Table
dialog boxes
find out if Stop has an effect before a dialog box function returns
our solution for common dialogs is rather heavyweight and doesn't work for user-created dialogs
foreign events are a problem
do what raymond chen suggested
so I don't forget, some TODOs:
windows
- Area isn't transparent
- hard: has to be excluded from scrolling
- tab order is backwards
- extra space on first column of all Tables on real Windows
- fine-tune Table checkbox behavior (especially with regards to selection)
- open dialog, resize small window, hscroll size area, double click file -> stack points in no man's land (yay attached threads?)
- uitask pointer bug again?
- groupbox line behind groupbox text
- scrolling edit controls in Areas back into view don't cause redraw
- need to figure out the WM_MOUSELEAVE tango (see mergeback/table_mouseleave_windows.c)
- won't be an issue once I rewrite Table completely
- tell wine that WM_CTLCOLOR*** doesn't get sent early ?????
- don't let empty Tabs be tab stops
gtk+
- Area: figure out how Enter is processed in Entry
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkwindow.c#n1229
- Table: figure out how to allow empty selection by clicking in an empty area
- After applying the AreaHandler.Key() change, -small crashes in 3.10/distribution but not 3.14/jhbuild
- will need to install 14.04 somewhere for this
mac os x
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25558728/how-can-i-be-notified-when-a-control-becomes-key-i-want-t-o-have-my-custom-warn/25562783?noredirect=1#comment39949908_25562783
gtk+, windows
- Area: keyboard scrolling
gtk+, mac os x
- figure out how dialogs and Areas work together
- once that is done, document the behavior of Areas
all
- rename Selected to Selection?
