libui/TODO.md

• consider calling setAppleMenu: for the application menu; it doesn't seem to make much of a difference but
• make the name of the variable to refer to a single tab page consistent (already decided to make them all page)
• make sure uiEntryOnChanged() is not triggered when calling uiEntrySetText()
• clean up windows resizing logic
  • make it so that only top-level window resizes trigger an update; container resizes do not update
    • windows resizing logic is simply not comprehensive enough (no null resizes allowed) to do things
    • we control resizes of all children so we can reliably update after a resize
    • we already need to do this in uiContainer :/
• make it so Windows API calls that do logLastError(), etc. abort whatever they're doing and not try to continue, just like wintable
• 32-bit Mac OS X support (requires lots of code changes)
  • change the build system to be more receptive to arch changes
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4543087/applicationwillterminate-and-the-dock-but-wanting-to-cancel-this-action

ultimately:

• add some sort of runtime type checking
• MAYBE readd lifetime handling/destruction blocking
• figure out how to integrate leak checking into the source tree
• assign control IDs on windows
  • GWL(P)_ID
  • related? [12:25] And the blue outline on those buttons [ALL clicked buttons on Windows 7] won't go away
    • I get this too
• SWP_NOCOPYBITS to avoid button redraw issues on Windows when not in tab, but only when making resize faster
• opposite side alignment control in uiBox
• collapse multiple consecutive menu separators?
  • including for quit/preferences/about?
    • or not even have separators there?
      • in which case, hide leading or trailing separators?
• generate libui.lib and related files
• rename newcontrol.[cm] to control.[cm] or something else?
• make OS-specific headers generated by an IDL
• figure out what to do on Windows and GTK+ if we don't have menus but the user wants a menubar (zero-height widget? don't bother? complain?)
• bin.c
  • find a way to consolidate the duplicate code across OSs
  • find a way to move the has parent check at the beginning of binDestroy()
  • determine whether or not margins count in preferredSize() when there is no main control
• menu item state change while the menu is visible (not in response to user action)
  • OS X: requires an [NSMenu update] call after changing state
  • Windows: requires getting current menu state when amending it in sync()
• figure out where we should return HRESULTs
• Windows: don't abort if a cleanup function fails?
• drop "Page" from uiTab method names? (uiTabAppendPage() -> uiTabAppend())

notes to self

• explicitly document label position at top-left corner
• mark that uiControlShow() on a uiWindow() will bring to front and give keyboard focus because of OS X
  • make sure ShowWindow() is sufficient for zorder on Windows
• document that you can't use InsertBefore functions to insert before a nonexistent index (that includes if an array is empty)
  • reconsider this, as the pointer array code does work with the first invalid index...
    • we would need to test everything else with it
• note that uiTabInsertPageBefore() does NOT change the current tab page (it may change its index if inserting before the current page)
• note that the default action for uiWindowOnClosing() is to return 0 (keep the window open)
• note that uiInitOptions should be initialized to zero
