-TODO BEFORE GTK 1.0
--------------------
-Bugs:
- * gtk_list_clear_items: free start_list
-
- * Vertical scrollbar: the expose event looks hosed and is causing
- quite a bit of flickering
-
- * signal parameters don't seem to get refreshed on recursive invokations
- of GTK_NO_RECURSE signals, which causes the restarted emissions to loose
- their actual point, i.e. parameter changes on the restarted emission,
- needs further investigation.
-
- * the GtkText widget needs to be fixed, that means no segfaults, full editing
- facilities, omit the background pixmap for now.
-
- * Widget redrawing when the window resizes sometimes messes up.
- GtkWindows allow_shrink is buggy since we let all kinds of configure events
- pass from Gdk to Gtk.
- GtkLabels sometimes redraw without clearing up the underlying background on
- window resizes.
-
- * delay dnd settings to take effect once a widget is realized, this is
- to avoid force realizations. i think this goes along with owens dnd
- changes?
- -timj
- The way DND data types are set in GtkWidget really needs to be fixed.
- This is pretty high on my priority list, and I'll get to it as soon as
- the column list widget is done. The correct way dnd data needs to be set
- is to have a additional keyed data type with GtkWidget, which is applied to
- the widget's window upon realize.
- There also needs to be a way to set dnd-data on widget windows which are
- not the main window (for widgets that create more than one window).
- -Jay Painter
- DnD seems to work for me, but yes, there needs to be some sort of
- gtk_widget layer that makes it easier... Also, adding support for drop
- zones might be nice.
- -Elliot
- This one is reproducabel for me:
- testgtk --sync
- popup colorselection
- drag/drop works
- start up preview color
- drag works but not dropping
- end preview color
- drag/drop works
- start up prewiev color
- segfault in malloc
- -timj
-
-Additions:
- * Lists should scroll to center the recently selected item if it isn't
- visible.
+Outstanding items:
- * enforce invariants on *_RESIZE* and *_REDRAW* flags.
+ * focus handling for GtkOptionMenu (needs the previous)
- * asure that child widgets are really get gtk_widget_destroy()ed in their
- parents destroy handler, and not just unparented or somesuch.
+ * implement gtk_default_draw_oval and other missing things in gtkstyle.c.
+
+ * enforce invariants on *_RESIZE* and *_REDRAW* flags.
- * GtkToolTips:
- allocate GtkTooltipsData from memchunks
- look into incorporation of old/gtk-dairiki-971208-[01].patch.gz
+ * GtkToolTips: allocate GtkTooltipsData from memchunks
- * Make widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
+ * Make all widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
+
+ * Radio buttons need to display CAN/HAS_DEFAULT correctly, if draw_inidicator
+ is TRUE. (Radio buttons do not need to CAN_DEFAULT! OWT)
+
+ * More dialogs: Print, maybe others...
- * Implementation of owens widget style proposal.
+ * make the gtk_main callbacks consistent in their add/remove behaviour.
- * Are there still some GtkCList changes outstanding? (Jay Painter)
- GtkCList is derived from GtkContainer but doesn't implement the
- need_resize, focus, add and remove methods from containers.
- it should at least issue a warning upon invokation of not supported
- member functions.
+ * Check return values on all calls to XIC[Get/Set]Values
- * GtkTree and GtkList should express in their *_add implementations,
- that they expect GtkListItems/GtkTreeItems as children. Similar
- things might apply to other containers.
+ * The "--geometry" option should be supported
+ - Having gdk_init() parse the geometry option. (putting it into
+ GDK means you can use XParseGeometry() without wrapping it)
-TODO AFTER GTK 1.0
-------------------
+ - Add a call gdk_get_geometry() that retrieves the results
+ in a form like that returned by XParseGeometry()
- * Make all widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj).
-
- * Make sure a widget added to a list is a list item and a widget added
- to a menu is a menu item, etc. GTK_BASIC was a first attempt at this,
- but it fails with subsequent container_add()s. maybe have another
- GTK_PARENT_BASIC (similar to GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE) flag, to prevent
- tree iterations upon every container addition.
+ - The application then can modify the results (as would gemvt)
+ then call a routine gtk_window_set_geometry() on whatever
+ it considers to be its main window.
+
+ - Then in some manner GtkWindow takes that into account when
+ setting its hints. (Probably it uses the size and position
+ as the current uposition and usize, and modulates that
+ be the equivalents of the X flags
+
+ XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, or YNegative
- * gdk_expose_compress: ala-Xt, this would really help for opaque moves and
- such
+ ( You'd have to extend gdk_window_set_hints to accept the
+ window gravity option to get it right. )
- * Entry should have a password mode (and it should show stars
- for user feedback).
+ * Allow moving the separator for paned widgets by dragging
+ it directly instead of using the handle.
- * More dialogs? Print, GtkFontSelector, maybe others...
+ * Check into XAddConnectionWatch - is this needed for XIM?
- * Multiple document interface (MDI)?
+ * Places where a _full variant is needed:
- * Support another widget style? Should be possible using GtkStyle's, but
- there may be some work needed to remove any style dependencies in widget
- code. Maybe GtkStyle's should have 'draw_push_button', 'draw_check_button',
- etc, functions to draw the various widgets.
- This will be covered by upcoming themability, raster is working on it.
+ gtk_init_add
+ gtk_menu_popup
+ gtk_toolbar_prepend_element
+ gtk_toolbar_insert_element
- * More work on Documentation
+ * Try to rationally deal with someone else deleting one of our
+ windows??? This would mean keeping track of our window heirarchy
+ ourselves, for one thing, and will never be safe, because of
+ race conditions.
+
+ * Should all the default handlers really return FALSE? This can
+ cause confusing presses to be sent to containers that actually
+ want to get events on themselves.
+
+ * The menu code should skip separators during keyboard navigation,
+ whether they are sensitive or insensitive.
+
+ * OwnerButtonPressGrab needs to go!
+
+Text/Edit widget:
+
+ Bugs:
+
+ - Really big font (150 pt), plus lots of editing caused segfault
+
+ Improvements:
+
+ - Unify the key binding support in some fashion between the
+ Entry and Text widget widgets, use GtkBindings for this.
+
+ - Figure out a way not to recompute the geometry on insertions/deletions
+ which are large, but not a significant fraction of the
+ entire text. (e.g., compute the changes as when the widget
+ is not frozen, but without the actual scrolling)
+
+ - Prune the line start cache. But since it is only 68 bytes
+ per line, and it is a lot faster when lines are in the cache,
+ it may be better not to, at least for now.
+
+ - Show the non-editable state by changing colors. (Use the
+ style entries for insensitive?)
+
+ - Multibyte support for the Text widget.
+
+ - Unicode support to do the multi-byte right.
+
+ - Support an .inputrc. (The readline one doesn't really work,
+ unless it is extended because it can't represent X keysyms,
+ just terminal type input)
+
+ - A vi mode
+
+ - Word wrap, instead of line folding. (Should the continuation
+ characters be shown?)
+
+ - Horizontal scrolling
+
+ - Disable pasting compound text
+
+ - When showing background pixmap (not editable) actually set
+ the background pixmap as the windows bg pixmap, to improve
+ appearance on exposes. But this would require using another
+ window to get the origins.
+
+ - In word wrap mode, break:
+
+ aaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
+
+ as:
+ | Maximum column
+ aaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb|
+ bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
+ bbbbbbbbb |
+
+ Instead of:
+ |
+ aaaaaaaaaaa |
+ bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
+ bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb |
+
+ - Blinking cursor
+
+ - API's : gtk_text_clear, gtk_text_delete_lines (gint start, gint end),
+ gtk_text_append/prepend, gtk_text_insert_at (gint row, gint column),
+ some function to get the row/column from the x/y-coordinates of a
+ mouse click, some function to get the word/line under the mouse pointer
+ [ From: Stefan Jeske <jeske@braunschweig.netsurf.de> ]
+
+ - "changed" emitted when doing deletes on empty Text widget.
+
+ - Delete IC in editable->unrealize, not editable->finalize?
+
+Themes
+======
+
+ - When a scale gets shown/hidden only queue a redraw on the
+ non-window portion, not the whole area.
+
+ - In various places, to avoid shaping windows excessively,
+ we set parent relative backgrounds. This is an ugly
+ hack and needs a better solution. Plus, I don't think
+ these parent-relative backgrounds always persist to
+ when they are actually needed.
+
+ Such calls exist in: GtkButton, GtkHandeBox, GtkItem,
+ GtkListItem, GtkMenu, GtkMenuItem, GtkMisc,
+ GtkNoteBook, GtkOptionMenu, GtkPaned, GtkPreview,
+ GtkSpinButton and GtkTreeItem.
+
+ - For menus and for GtkWindow's, the realize() function
+ calls paint(), so that background pixmaps can be set
+ ahead of time, and prevent flashing when the window is
+ shown. This is an ugly hack and needs a better solution.
+
+=======
+
+Calendar Widget:
+
+ - The widget should be nicely resizeable vertical too.
+
+ - CALENDAR_MARGIN should be removed, uses INNER_BORDER and
+ style->class->[xy]thickness insted.
+
+ - Flag to choose between using standard three letter abbreviated
+ weekday name or just the first character from it. It looks like
+ that is what most other calendar-widgets do.
+
+ - Arrows should resize with the header-font.
+
+ - The keyboard support has to be finished.
+
+DND
+===
+
+ - Use a cursor instead of an ICON when over Motif windows,
+ to get rid of the current junk that Motif leaves because
+ of its XCopyArea stupidity for doing highlighting.
+
+ - Add a GTK_DRAG_VERIFY target flag and a "drag_data_verify"
+ signal so that apps can easily check if a, say,
+ text/uri-list URL looks OK during the drop.
+
+ - Check more for memory leaks.
+
+ - Drag and drop for Entry and Text widgets.
+
+ - Send synthetic motion events on structure changes so
+ drag_enter/leave get sent properly. (See the popup
+ in testdnd)
