libui/TODO.md

• change all private names away from uiXxxx and uipXxxx
• make it so Windows API calls that do logLastError(), etc. abort whatever they're doing and not try to continue, just like wintable
• figure out what to cleanup in darwin terminate:
  • delegate
  • deleted objects view
• 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
• make sure all terminology is consistent
• 32-bit Mac OS X support (requires lots of code changes)
• add a test for hidden controls when a window is shown
• SWP_NOCOPYBITS (or was it WS_CLIPCHILDREN?)
  • buttons not in tab get drawover issues
  • buttons in tab without transparent drawing code get copied into the label when stack shown and rehidden
• settle differences between intmax_t and uintmax_t
• settle onDestroy/destroy naming
• implement lifetiming on Windows
• forbid free(NULL) to check for bugs
• opposite side alignment control in uiBox
• disabling containers on wine doesn't redraw children as disabled
  • test on real windows
• collapse multiple consecutive menu separators?
  • including for quit/preferences/about?
    • or not even have separators there?
      • in which case, hide leading or trailing separators?
• write an array.c for uiBox, uiGrid, and the Windows backend
  • it'd just be a clone of GArray from GLib
• add the visibility stuff to the Windows makefile
  • figure out visibility on mac os x
  • hide command lines in the makefile
• rename newcontrol.[cm] to control.[cm] or something else?
• use _UI_EXPORT on OS-specific functions
  • make their headers generated by an IDL
• make sure complain()s don't have \n at the end; add one on each platform
  • add a [libui] to the beginning of the message
• 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; see relevant line in windows/menu.c
• figure out where we should return HRESULTs
• Windows: don't abort if a cleanup function fails?
• should uiWindowOnClosing() really return an int?
  • if so, should the default return 0 instead of 1?
• note that uiInitOptions should be initialized to zero
  • have a cbSize member
• drop "Page" from uiTab method names? (uiTabAppendPage() -> uiTabAppend())
• override dock menu quit item to act like our app menu quit item
• consider calling setAppleMenu: for the application menu; it doesn't seem to make much of a difference but
• release OS X properties in dealloc
  • switch away from properties or figure out what incantation is necessary for 32-bit
  • figure out strong/weak vs assign/copy/retain
• figure out what to do in OS X terminate:
• clean up bin handling
  • is binSetOSParent() even needed?
• readd the allocation tracking as just a list of pointers
• add a final cleanup function (uiUninit() or uiCleanup())

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

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
