TODO list: always incomplete :-) -------------------------------- VERSION 2.0 ----------- - A stack that can grow dynamically. - A special syntax to make variable writable once only (for controls variables). - Doing something like ByRef to help porting VB projects. - Add global parameters for each component. - Compilation error must indicate the column, not only the line. - Make objects printable, with a "_print" hidden method or something else. - Make objects writable and readable to streams. - Perl regexp with the MATCH operator. - An expression can begin with NEW. - Type mismatch error: print the mismatched values. - Special runtime debugging commands for dumping all the variables for example. - A new debugging compilation option to only put line number information in the output files. - NInstr() -> Count the number of patterns. Don't do it: - OPTIONAL arguments should takes any expression. - Class synonymous. - Array[x] when x < 0 should return Array[Array.Count - x] - NEW Collection OF String Do it asap: - Trim$(sStr, "pattern", " ", "/") -> RTrim(sStr, "WHERE") or RTrim(sStr, " ", "\n") - If project compilation version < compiler version then => compile all - Intercept all signals in Application_Signal. - Object.SetVariable, or SetSymbol, and that can act on static things. DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT ----------------------- - .startup file, a copy of .project with only startup info inside. - .project files should be marked as 2.0. - Renaming controls in the IDE renames the source code too. - Loading a "form" component needs calling InitControl on classes that are not member of the list of controls. - Bookmarks in editor. - Manage Object properties in IDE. - Put a language code in comments, and hide them as needed by the user. - Make a visual control clipboard. - Packager should manage component projects. - A new folder for non-packaged data files ('Notes' ?). GUI RELATED STUFF ----------------- - Adds automatically the extension to the file in the save file dialog. - Deleting a currently expanding item in TreeView crashes. - A Settings property everywhere? Mmmfff... At least for ColumnView, GridView. - Popup forms => Need to redesign some properties. DATABASE COMPONENT ------------------ - Add Views support in database component. - Changeable client Charset in database driver. - Returns the number of records affected by a query. - A new database driver model. - Copy a result line into another one. - Use SAVEPOINT in postgresql to simulate nested transactions. DOCUMENTATION WIKI ------------------ - Mass rename command. - Fix last changes: only those in one language. 64 BITS ------- X11 Window datatype is a long => Control.Id should return a pointer OTHER ----- - gb.desktop kwalletmanager support. And gnome ? COMPONENTS ---------- - gb.corba ? - gb.v4l ?
