- wxWidgets Controls Screenshot Generator
- =======================================
- Author: Utensil Candel (Email: UtensilCandel at GMail dot com)
- Licence: wxWindows licence
- Thanks: Francesco Montorsi, Bryan Petty, Auria, Jorg and wxForum
- This utility is developed to automatically generate screenshots of the wxWidgets
- controls for use in wxWidgets documentation.
- The main part of the GUI (guiframe.h/guiframe.cpp) was generated with wxFormBuilder
- (http://wxformbuilder.org/), a powerful cross-platform open-source RAD tool. Now its
- trace is removed so we can maintain the code without using it.
- ===User Guide: How To Use==
- The screenshots will be generated under sub-directory "screenshots" silently.
- Please monitor this folder before taking screenshots using "File->Open screenshots folder".
- 1) The menu "Capture->Full screen" can take a screeshot for the fullscreen. It's designed
- for testing purpose only.
- 2) The menu "Capture->Regions<Begin>" and "Capture->Regions<End>" was the semi-auto part,
- and now it's deprecated and will be removed soon.
- 3) Finally the full-auto mode: "Capture->Capture All" or Ctrl+Alt+A, follow the instructions
- and all the screenshots will be generated correctly under the subdirectory "screenshots".
- ==Developer Guide: How To Add More Controls==
- (Coming soon)
- ==To-do List==
- 1) Remove wxAuiNoteBook related lagacy codes, which is no longer useful;
- 2) Refactor the GUI code, which was generated by wxFormBuilder, but it's messy for human to
- maintain;
- 3) Remove the class CtrlMaskOut since semi-auto part of this utility is no longer needed.
- 4) Clearify the interface of class AutoCaptureMechanism and document how to add a new control
- that needs to take screenshots, and how to adjust it to avoid bugs in wxRTTI system and
- wxWindow::GetScreenRect();
- 5) Make this utility easier to configure;
- 6) Add test functionality to confirm bugs in wxRTTI system and wxWindow::GetScreenRect().
