[wyoDesktop-devel] sharing wxUniv known issues

[ABX <ab...@ab...>]

Hi!

I thought you would be interested in knowing what I gathered in the past:

1. Regarding thread "wxWidgets/wxUniv: Samples testing" I would like to
mention that I put a lot of effort for stabilisation of demos, utils and
samples in general in wxWidgets repository. There should not be many =
holes in
samples and they in general are very stable with no asserts (at least =
that was
my intention). So that stuff should be a good start for searching holes =
in
your wxUniv usage. For sure there are four places not working for me:
 - helpgen util with unicode;
 - memcheck sample because nobody want to explain how to adjust setup.h;
 - mfc sample because none of my windows compilers has mfc built in (I do=
 not=20
   use VisualC)
 - tab sample because this is supposed to be replaced by notebook and is =
=20
   maintained only because one port (motif? or x11?) does not have =
notebooks =20
   iirc.

2. As for thread "Difference between 2.5.2 and CVS wrt wxUniv/GTK2" =
Theodore
asked: apart stock buttons we all know, there are plenty of changes =
regarding
fixing best size handling which iirc was seriously broken in 2.5.2.
Some other changes can be reviewed through
http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/docs/changes.txt.diff?r1=3D=
1.514&r2=3D1.454

3. As for my own changes I fixed long problem I observed of not =
responding to
command in submenus (only menuitems in top wxMenu generated events). I =
fixed
it in common code thought I never investigated it under other platforms =
than
MSW.

4. As for other issues I know regarding wxMSWUniv:
- launch bombs demo, Ctrl+1 and other keyboard accelerators do not work =
until
you do not enter menu once
- forty demo - whole window is in one green colour (it can be fault in =
demo
design but I never figured what is wrong exactly)

I hope above list will help you a little.

BTW: Otto, while I understand that if you do not use something and if it =
cause
problems you do not like it. But please do not call stock buttons "silly"=
 just
for respect for those persons and platforms who need it.
