Soon

  • Handle is_a?(Glimmer::Tk::ToplevelProxy) conditions in ToplevelProxy more correctly by applying the Template Method Design Pattern or doing a different check against the class direclty instead of using is_a?

  • Update Hello, Menu Bar! screenshots with Language Country

  • Refactor WidgetProxy by adding a griddable? method that could be overriden by subclasses to consult for auto-gridding on initialize_defaults

  • Allow setting root x/y without affecting its default width/height

  • Add defensive programming for preventing spinbox from allowing value to go over to (max) when typing by keyboard

  • Document Glimmer debug logging

  • Support Mac application handlers/events (https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/tk_mac.htm):

`tk::mac::OnHide:` Called when your application has been hidden.
`tk::mac::OnShow:` Called when your application is shown after being hidden.
`tk::mac::OpenApplication:` Called when your application is first opened.
`tk::mac::ReopenApplication:` Called when a user "reopens" your already-running application (e.g. clicks on it in the Dock)
`tk::mac::OpenDocument:` Called when the Finder wants the application to open one or more documents (e.g. that were dropped on it). The procedure is passed a list of pathnames of files to be opened.
`tk::mac::PrintDocument:` As with OpenDocument, but the documents should be printed rather than opened.
  • Enhance text undo/redo to include format/font-format changes
  • text widget cut/copy with style (perhaps track all applied formatting tags and reapply them to new indexes)
  • text widget paste with cut/copied style (perhaps track all applied formatting tags and reapply them to new indexes)
  • text widget paste matching insert mark style (track all applied tags to that location and reapply)
  • Improve support for command listener so that it does not override usage in data-binding when explicitly set after data-binding

Maybe

  • Support radiobuttons widget that aggregates mutliple radiobutton widgets
  • Support checkbuttons widget that aggregates mutliple checkbutton widgets
  • Syntax adapter to become compatible with the syntax of Glimmer DSL for SWT, Glimmer DSL for LibUI and Glimmer DSL for Opal
  • Logging library to ensure asynchronous logging (as opposed to Glimmer's built-in synchronous Logger)
  • Support canvas shape nested relative positioning
  • Think of a dynamic way of invoking commands on widgets instead of hardcoding commands for each widget
  • Look into why text event fires twice on every text change
  • Support on_event listeners (as opposed to on('event')) (e.g. on_KeyPress {})
  • Consider switching drag and drop extension to an included a module
  • Consider generalizing support for drag and drop to fire on any mouse button and indicate the clicked mouse button in the event
  • text widget selection data-binding (relying on tag_ranges 'sel' and on tag_add 'sel', 5.0, 6.0)
  • Support validate_command and invalid_command as aliases to validatecommand and invalidcommand on entry
  • Provide a convenience #modifiers method on KeyPress/KeyRelease event that provides an English-description of held modifiers (e.g. ['shift_l', 'meta_l']) as that would be more convenient than reliance on event.state cryptic integer values
  • Support installing multiple event listeners on any widget (tk by default supports installing one event listener only, with subsequent installations overriding previous ones)
  • Support MouseWheel event in scrollbar_frame to permit scrolling with mouse wheel in the content region outside of scrollbars.
  • Consider adding value alias for variable in checkbutton and radiobutton (plus any widgets using variable)
  • Consider exposing WidgetProxy Tk possible class names (e.g. ::Tk#{SomeWidget}) via Glimmer::Config to make configurable
  • Support inter-application Drag and Drop (e.g. drag a file from Finder/Explorer and drop it in Glimmer DSL for Tk app drop zone to store it in a list)
  • Consider supporting adding a menu as both contextual and menu_bar
  • Support embedding plots declaratively with custom widgets using https://github.com/red-data-tools/GR.rb
