Raw Blame History

  • more robust layout handling

    • uiFormTie() for ensuring multiple uiForms have the same label area widths
    • uiSizeGroup for size groups (GtkSizeGroup on GTK+, auto layout constraints on OS X; consider adding after 10.8 is gone)

  • windows: should the initial hwndInsertAfter be HWND_BOTTOM for what we want?

  • windows: document the rules for controls and containers

  • windows: document the minimum size change propagation system

  • provisions for controls that cannot be grown? especiailly for windows

  • LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX has the 10.11 SDK; see if we can knock it down to 10.8 too; OS version is fine

    • apply the OS version stuff to the test program and examples too
    • what about micro versions (10.8.x)? force 10.8.0?

  • go through ALL the objective-c objects we create and make sure we are using the proper ownership (alloc/init and new are owned by us, all class method constructors are autoreleased - thanks mikeash)

  • on OS X, edit shortcuts like command-C working require that the menu entries be defined, or so it seems, even for NSAlert

    • other platforms?

  • make sure all OS X event handlers that use target-action set the action to NULL when the target is unset

  • provide a way to get the currently selected uiTab page? set?

  • make it so that the windows cntrols only register a resize if their new minimum size is larger than their current size to easen the effect of flicker

    • it won't remove that outright, but it'll help

  • add an option to the test program to run page7b as an independent test in its own window

    • same for page7c

  • http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/01/12/57833.aspx provide a DEF file on Windows

  • all ports: update state when adding a control to a parent

  • should uiWindowsSizing be computed against the window handle, not the parent?

  • DPI awareness on windows

  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4543087/applicationwillterminate-and-the-dock-but-wanting-to-cancel-this-action

ultimately:

  • MAYBE readd lifetime handling/destruction blocking

  • related? [12:25] And the blue outline on those buttons [ALL clicked buttons on Windows 7] won't go away

    • I get this too
      • not anymore

  • SWP_NOCOPYBITS to avoid button redraw issues on Windows when not in tab, but only when making resize faster

  • secondary side alignment control in uiBox

  • Windows: don't abort if a cleanup function fails?

  • 32-bit Mac OS X support (requires lots of code changes)

    • change the build system to be more receptive to arch changes

notes to self

  • explicitly document label position at top-left corner

  • explicitly document that if number of radio buttons >= 1 there will always be a selection

  • 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 use InsertAt functions to insert at the first invalid index, even if the array is empty

  • note that uiTabInsertAt() 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

  • explicitly document that uiCheckboxSetChecked() and uiEntrySetText() do not fire uiCheckboxOnToggled() and uiEntryOnChanged(), respectively

  • note that if a menu is requested on systems with menubars on windows but no menus are defined, the result is a blank menubar, with whatever that means left up to the OS to decide

  • note that handling of multiple consecutive separators in menus, leading separators in menus, and trailing separators in menus are all OS-defined

  • note that uiDrawMatrixInvert() does not change the matrix if it fails

  • note that the use of strings that are not strictly valid UTF-8 results in undefined behavior

  • test RTL

    • automate RTL

  • now that stock items are deprecated, I have to maintain translations of the Cancel, Open, and Save buttons on GTK+ myself (thanks baedert in irc.gimp.net/#gtk+)

    • either that or keep using stock items

  • http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2014/02/26/10503148.aspx

  • build optimizations

  • use http://www.appveyor.com/ to do Windows build CI since people want CI

  • consider just having the windows backend in C++

    • consider having it all in C++

don't forget LONGTERMs as well
