2 - remove deprecated functions from *.[hc] files, especially the
6 * Widget redrawing when the window resizes sometimes messes up.
7 GtkLabels sometimes redraw without clearing up the underlying background on
10 * delay dnd settings to take effect once a widget is realized, this is
11 to avoid force realizations. i think this goes along with owens dnd
14 The way DND data types are set in GtkWidget really needs to be fixed.
15 This is pretty high on my priority list, and I'll get to it as soon as
16 the column list widget is done. The correct way dnd data needs to be set
17 is to have a additional keyed data type with GtkWidget, which is applied to
18 the widget's window upon realize.
19 There also needs to be a way to set dnd-data on widget windows which are
20 not the main window (for widgets that create more than one window).
22 DnD seems to work for me, but yes, there needs to be some sort of
23 gtk_widget layer that makes it easier... Also, adding support for drop
26 This one is reproducabel for me:
30 start up preview color
31 drag works but not dropping
34 start up prewiev color
38 * Change bitfields to guints from enums, or vice versa?
40 * Expose events aren't being generated correctly for DND demo
42 * MappingNotify events produce warnings.
45 * implement keyboard navigation in menus
47 * focus handling for GtkOptionMenu (needs the previous)
49 * GScanner: it might be good to ues stdio and getch() instead of 1-character
50 reads. so one can take advantage of buffering. Currently each read() takes
53 * implement gtk_default_draw_oval and other missing things in gtkstyle.c.
55 * Lists should scroll to center the recently selected item if it isn't
58 * enforce invariants on *_RESIZE* and *_REDRAW* flags.
60 * asure that child widgets are really get gtk_widget_destroy()ed in their
61 parents destroy handler, and not just unparented or somesuch.
64 allocate GtkTooltipsData from memchunks
65 look into incorporation of outdated/gtk-dairiki-971208-[01].patch.gz
67 * Change gtk_widget_propagate_default_style() mechanism to
68 void gtk_rc_string_export (const gchar *rc_additions,
69 gboolean override_rc_styles);
71 * Make all widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
73 * Widgets dervied from GtkButton need to be able to override
74 GtkButtonClass.paint. e.g. redrawing of GtkToggleButton with CAN_DEFAULT
75 is messed up otheriwse. This does in fact not only apply to (toggle)buttons,
76 we should introduce a common paint member for the GtkWidgetClass.
78 * Radio buttons need to display CAN/HAS_DEFAULT correctly.
80 * GtkCList improvements. (Jay Painter)
82 * Seperate GtkObject, type and signaling system from Gdk dependancies,
83 by moving them into a seperate libgtkobj.
84 * move *_input_add (wrappers for select(2)) mechanism into glib.
86 * Make sure a widget added to a list is a list item and a widget added
87 to a menu is a menu item, etc. GTK_BASIC was a first attempt at this,
88 but it fails with subsequent container_add()s. maybe have another
89 GTK_PARENT_BASIC (similar to GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE) flag, to prevent
90 tree iterations upon every container addition.
92 * gdk_expose_compress: ala-Xt, this would really help for opaque moves and
95 * Entry should have a password mode (and it should show stars
98 * Entry should allow set_usize to work better, and should compute
99 a different width when a maximum length is used.
101 * More dialogs: Print, GtkFontSelector, maybe others...
103 * Multiple document interface (MDI)?
105 * Support another widget style? Should be possible using GtkStyle's, but
106 there may be some work needed to remove any style dependencies in widget
107 code. Maybe GtkStyle's should have 'draw_push_button', 'draw_check_button',
108 etc, functions to draw the various widgets.
109 This will be covered by upcoming themability, raster is working on it.
111 * make the gtk_main callbacks consistent in their add/remove behaviour.
113 * More work on Documentation
115 * Check return values on all calls to XIC[Get/Set]Values
117 * Rewrite the interface to the i18n stuff so GTK widgets don't need to
118 retrieve X values, and so they don't have to know the value of the
119 XNxxx character constants.
121 * The "--geometry" option should be supported
123 - Having gdk_init() parse the geometry option. (putting it into
124 GDK means you can use XParseGeometry() without wrapping it)
126 - Add a call gdk_get_geometry() that retrieves the results
127 in a form like that returned by XParseGeometry()
129 - The application then can modify the results (as would gemvt)
130 then call a routine gtk_window_set_geometry() on whatever
131 it considers to be its main window.
133 - Then in some manner GtkWindow takes that into account when
134 setting its hints. (Probably it uses the size and position
135 as the current uposition and usize, and modulates that
136 be the equivalents of the X flags
138 XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, or YNegative
140 ( You'd have to extend gdk_window_set_hints to accept the
141 window gravity option to get it right. )
143 ? Allow moving the separator for paned widgets by dragging
144 it directly instead of using the handle.
146 ? Mark public use of gtk_tree_remove_item as deprecated - it should be used
148 gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER(tree), widget);
150 * Standardize that all strings should be passed as gchar *, not
151 guchar *. But what about non-string data? (gdk_property_change,
152 gtk_selection_data_set) X makes these sort of things guchar...
154 * Check into XAddConnectionWatch - is this needed for XIM?
156 * Places where a _full variant is needed:
158 gtk_clist_set_row_data
161 gtk_toolbar_prepend_element
162 gtk_toolbar_insert_element
163 gtk_widget_dnd_data_set (should be guchar * with a copy?
164 shouldn't be there at all...)
165 ??? GtkDrawingarea.draw_data
167 * gtk_rc_add_[name/class]_style are broken for bg pixmaps, because
168 styles are broken for bg pixmaps, and RC styles only hack around
171 * Try to rationally deal with someone else deleting one of our
172 windows??? This would mean keeping track of our window heirarchy
173 ourselves, for one thing, and will never be safe, because of
176 * --g-fatal-warnings flag that does
177 g_set_warning_handler ((GWarningHandler)g_error);
179 * If a window spontaneously resizes itself N times before any
180 ConfigureNotify events are received, then due to the interaction
181 of the ConfigureNotify compression code in GDK and the resize
182 count used for the window, the window will be size_allocated
183 the next N-1 times it is moved.
185 Fix: Only send GDK_EVENT_CONFIGURE when the window is resized,
186 create a new event type for toplevel motion. (GDK_EVENT_REPOSITION?)
187 and eliminate the resize count in GtkWindow.
189 * Generic ScrolledWindow interface, which provide automatic scrollbar
190 capability to Viewport, Text, and CList widgets.
192 * GTK_POLICY_NEVER for scrolled windows.
194 * Consider caching more state in GdkWindowPrivate. Currently,
195 every widget realization involves a XGetGeometry and a
196 XGetWindowAttributes. And every GdkWindow destruction
197 involves a XQueryTree.
199 * Should all the default handlers really return FALSE? This can
200 cause confusing presses to be sent to containers that actually
201 want to get events on themselves.
203 * New signals to handle accelerators: accel_before and accel_after (or
204 somesuch) to pre and post process accelerator calls. [Yosh]
210 - Really big font (150 pt), plus lots of editing caused segfault
214 - Unify the key binding support in some fashion between the
215 Entry and Text widget widgets (???)
217 - Figure out a way not to recompute the geometry on insertions/deletions
218 which are large, but not a significant fraction of the
219 entire text. (e.g., compute the changes as when the widget
220 is not frozen, but without the actual scrolling)
222 - Prune the line start cache. But since it is only 68 bytes
223 per line, and it is a lot faster when lines are in the cache,
224 it may be better not to, at least for now.
226 - Show the non-editable state by changing colors. (Use the
227 style entries for insensitive?)
229 - Multibyte support for the Text widget.
231 - Unicode support to do the multi-byte right.
233 - Support an .inputrc. (The readline one doesn't really work,
234 unless it is extended because it can't represent X keysyms,
235 just terminal type input)
239 - Word wrap, instead of line folding. (Should the continuation
240 characters be shown?)
242 - Horizontal scrolling
244 - Disable pasting compound text
246 - When showing background pixmap (not editable) actually set
247 the background pixmap as the windows bg pixmap, to improve
248 appearance on exposes. But this would require using another
249 window to get the origins.
251 - In word wrap mode, break:
253 aaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
257 aaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb|
258 bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
264 bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
265 bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb |
269 - API's : gtk_text_clear, gtk_text_delete_lines (gint start, gint end),
270 gtk_text_append/prepend, gtk_text_insert_at (gint row, gint column),
271 some function to get the row/column from the x/y-coordinates of a
272 mouse click, some function to get the word/line under the mouse pointer
273 [ From: Stefan Jeske <jeske@braunschweig.netsurf.de> ]
275 - "changed" emitted when doing deletes on empty Text widget.
277 - Delete IC in editable->unrealize, not editable->finalize?
