=======================================================================
2
 Following is a list of notes describing things which might be
3
 fixed or changed in a future release of [incr Tcl]
4
=======================================================================
5
 
6
Handle this case more elegantly:
7
 
8
class Foo {
9
    constructor {args} {
10
        _init
11
    }
12
    proc _init {} {
13
        puts "once!"
14
        proc _init {} {}
15
    }
16
}
17
Foo #auto
18
Foo #auto
19

21
itcl "wish" list
22
------------------------------------------------------------------
23
- add virtual inheritance
24
- add "border" type to canvas widget
25
- add "validate" and "valid" commands for type validation
26
- add "unknownvar" and provide access to object data members: "obj.var"
27
- check namespace [info class] {...} as a replacement for "virtual"
28
- fix "auto_load_all" problem in Tcl-DP
29
  (Their implementation uses "info commands" to verify that a command
30
  has been successfully autoloaded, but absolute command names like
31
  "::iwidgets::fileselectiondialog" don't show up.)
32
- fix "auto_load" mechanism to be extensible like "unknown"
33
- fix Itcl_RegisterC() to support ClientData
34
- core dump with "cmdtrace" (tclX thing?)
35
 
36
- ideas from Nelson Macy:
37
  - add "delegate" keyword for inheritance via composition?
38
  - add "forward" keyword for implementing error handlers
39
  - add "get" code to public variables for "cget" access
40
 
41
- equivalent of constructor/destructor for classes
42
- protected/private recognized for constructor/destructor
43
- add something like Tk_CreateWidgetCommand() for widget developers
44
 
45
 
46
itcl documentation cleanup
47
------------------------------------------------------------------
48
- add "Finance: Trading Systems" to commercial uses of Itcl (Deshaw)
49
- update doc:  "config" code also gets invoked on startup for itk widgets
50
- update doc:  add to FAQ:  class with common array interacts with Tk widget
51
 
52
itcl "to do" list
53
------------------------------------------------------------------
54
 
55
- write "auto_load_all" proc for Tcl-DP
56
 
57
- bad errorInfo:
58
  > More specifically, the constructor for the class did the following:
59
  >
60
  >         set hull [info namespace tail $this]
61
  >         ::frame $hull
62
  >
63
  > One of the class variables had a configuration script:
64
  >
65
  >     public variable textvariable "" {
66
  >         if { $textvariable != "" } {
67
  >             regsub "\\(.*\\)" $textvariable "" global
68
  >             global ::$global
69
  >             trace variable $textvariable w "$hull adjust"
70
  >         }
71
  >     }
72
 
73
- add "@body" in as many places as possible to support Tcl compiler
74
 
75
- check out itcl with Tix:
76
     lappend auto_path $env(TIX_LIBRARY)
77
     source "$env(IWIDGETS_LIBRARY)/init.iwidgets"
78
 
79
     iwidgets::Dialog ._Arcattributes -title "Code: Arc Annotations"
80
     -modality application
81
 
82
     set attrframe [._Arcattributes childsite]
83
 
84
     tixScrolledHList $attrframe.ports
85
     [$attrframe.ports subwidget hlist] configure -selectmode browse
86
 
87
     pack $attrframe.ports -expand yes -fill both -padx 10 -pady 10
88
 
89
     ._Arcattributes activate
90
