Roadmap and priorities suggestions for 1.0

[generalloki]

Here we collect suggestions and ideas for Version 1.0. What need to be done before release?

@neoxeo suggested:

Priorities for me for version 1.0 :

• fix current known bugs
• if possible solve problem "need to compile" before the possibility to use new control created in uixml into the code (cs file)
• if possible, change size, height, width to use them into uixml to set values (not use bounds)
• if possible, add RichTextBox
• add two new samples : one for an existing simple winforms application converted to Alternet UI and same for a WPF existing application

Others suggestions:

Update to the last stable release of Webview2 ?

Add .Net8.0 with comment "not stable version" ?

Add tutorials, video or document :

• how to add properties, methods, event not already exist in AlternetUI but present into WxWidgets
• how to create a new component using API
• update how to create a new application with ANUI from scratch

Before 1.0 release, we need to implement the following controls:

• DONE. Advanced ToolBars (https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxAUI).
• MonthCalendar (wxCalendarCtrl).
• WORKING ON. PropertyGrid (100% needed, useful for control testing).(wxPropertyGrid)
• NOT POSSIBLE (Button implementations are bad on Macos). SpeedButton/Label with Image (Button descendants).

Not sure, but possibly:

• HelpProvider (wxHtmlHelpController)
• RichTextBox (wxRichTextBox)
• wxHtmlListBox
• wxVListBox
• wxSimpleHtmlListBox
• wxEditableListBox
• wxDataViewCtrl
• wxScrollBar
• FileListView and FileTreeView.

We need some demo explorer with list of demos and descriptions like in ALternet Studio.

[generalloki]

• We need PictureBox control demo in ControlSample.
• Also check that WinForms features are implemented.
• Also image related features from DrawContext should be implemented.

[neoxeo]

What ? I was sure that PictureBox was already present. For sure, it is necessary! +1

[generalloki]

PictureBox is implemeted on some level but we need to have demo and to add some features.

[neoxeo]

Yes after reflection I remember that Employees Sample have one. Ok, agree with you to have a demo to show features. Thanks for your answer.

[generalloki]

Add Ribbon user interface https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/group__group__class__ribbon.html

[generalloki]

We need to add SQLite database support. This is probably not for 1.0 but for later releases.

[generalloki]

We need to support wxCursor set/get in controls
