Shane, I really appreciate you getting this list of win32
functions done. Since Microwindows is basically my project,
I'm definitely commited to getting these functions implemented.
I'm assuming that the many other win32 functions not listed
are already implemented by Microwindows (like CreateWindow,
etc) It might be nice to have the WHOLE list, since there are
also certain aspects of these functions that aren't fully implemented.
I will get a stubbed out version of Microwindows going that you
can link with, and let you know which functions need a little more help.
My idea is to get this going quickly, so the best approach is probably
to get it linking and running, even though it may limp heavily in certain
areas (like for instance, even if the region code is not fully there for
clipping, then the drawing might not clip fully correctly, but you can
still draw...)
This is quite cool, since there haven't been enough programmers on
the list capable of actually performing a widget set port, so this
is exactly what Microwindows needs, and I want to take advantage
of it (or you ;-)
Please use Microwindows v0.88pre2, which I just posted to the ftp site
last night, it's the latest tree. I'll produce some stubbed out routines
immediately
that you can use to link against, so that you can at least get a linked version.
You might also think about putting together some _simple_ fltk demos, used
to test the Microwindows win32 implementation.
There will undoubtably be some #ifdefs to the master fltk code, but we'll try
to keep it to a minimum. I've got to see the whole list of win32 calls that
fltk
makes in order to get a good feel for how it actually draws (note that none
of the unsupported calls that you list here actually draws anything... so we're
in pretty good shape, it seems)
Regards,
Greg

Subject: [linuxce-devel] FLTK Port, list of Win32 functions...
: NanoGUIer's, and linuxce'ers,
: In order to complete the FLTK port to microwindows we will need the
: folowing Win32 functions implemented in microwindows. Anyone is free
: to lend a hand in the port. Greg has already done some work on some
: of these functions (specifically regions), so you should check with
: him before starting work on anything in specific. I'm finishing up
: some more proprietary aspects of the FLTK win32 operation, but if
: you'd like to help out in implementing one of these functions please
: send me or Greg an email. If you'd like information on how to build
: fltk with microwindows send me an email, and I'll send you
: instructions and my build files. (Once we're further along I'll setup
: a website, etc.)
:
: Thanks,
: Shane..
:
: Here is the list: (Also, for each you need to insert all the
: constants and structures that are needed, there is only about two more
: structures that have to be implemented in microwindows. If you'd like
: all the function prototypes, send me an email, and I'll forward them
: to you.)
:
: CreateRectRgn
: GetRgnBox
: CombinRgn
: InvalidateRgn
: GetUpdateRgn
: ValidateRgn
: SelectClipRgn
: EqualRgn
: CreateBitMap
: SetAlignText
: SelectPalette
: OpenClipboard
: EmptyClipboard
: GlobalAlloc
: GlobalLock
: GlobalUnlock
: CloseClipboard
: GetClipboardData
: GetKeyState
: GetKeyboardState
: PeekMessage
: SystemParametersInfo
: GetCursorPos
: GetAsyncKeyState
: SetCursor
: UpdateColors
: GetSystemMetrics
: SetWindowPos
: LoadIcon
: LoadCursor
: RegisterClassEx
: IsIconic
: OpenIcon
: BringWindowToTop
:
: This is pretty much all of them. The other problems are not specific
: to Win32 GUI, but other issues which I'll be taking care of next week.
: If there is any functionality that cannot be replicated I'll be
: implementing work arrounds in the code of fltk. Once again anyone
: whos been complaining about not having a widget set... this is your
: chance to help it become reality :). Microsofts Developer site is a
: good resource, as well as the ones that Greg mentioned the otherday,
: wine, twin, and I can't remember the third. In any event, I'm
: commited to doing this port, so whatever isn't implemented elsewhere
: I'll start taking care of once I've finished the more proprietary
: issues in fltk.

: Thanks,
: Shane.
