2022-08-04Use C++ casts, nullptr.John Ankarström
2022-08-03Use Pascal case for all functions.John Ankarström
2022-08-03Split common.h to util.h, wcharptr.h and win.h.John Ankarström
2022-08-03Remove m_bHeader from ListView.John Ankarström
If it is relevant to add height for a header for a given list view, it is better to override Height and do it there.
2022-08-02Improve wstring_owner, rename to wchar_ptr.John Ankarström
The user-defined conversion function makes the interface a lot simpler AND safer.
2022-08-02Implement draggable split.John Ankarström
Next step is to allow a double click to reset the split to be automatically resized.
2022-07-31Limit use of Hungarian notation.John Ankarström
I don't hate Hungarian notation. It has some very nice qualities. But it also adds a lot of typing. That said, not using it feels a bit... unsafe. I might go back on this decision. We'll see.
2022-07-30Add wstring_owner, replacing std::wstring.John Ankarström
std::basic_string is nice, but it is not very ergonomic if everything you really need is to automatically free C strings at end of scope. I suppose I could have used std::unique_ptr for this, but I suspect the ergonomics would be worse.
2022-07-30Add non-throwing variants of Query methods.John Ankarström
Pl has also been refactored, so that the unnecessary throw and catch have been removed.
2022-07-30Formatting.John Ankarström
This style is more compact and quicker to read once you know what the first two member in LVITEM are (mask and iItem).
2022-07-26Use 's' instead of 'str' for as prefix for managed strings.John Ankarström
2022-07-26Remove ANSI compatibility.John Ankarström
Even though it is a fun challange in many ways, I think that, realistically, it is probably not worth the complexity. The Prolog backend isn't ANSI-compatible either.
2022-07-24Use Query object in DataListView::ShowEpisode.John Ankarström
2022-07-24Improve window layout.John Ankarström
This reverts much of 97f0a27. 1. It turns out not to be a good idea to resize the list view columns based on the list view window's own rectangle, as it will change depending on whether a scrollbar is visible. The problem is that resizing the columns may add a horizontal scrollbar -- which in turn may add a vertical scrollbar. 2. The WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE style does not look very good in "modern" (non-classic) themes. In 97f0a27, I tried solving this by extending the dimensions of the child windows such that their edges were hidden. However, this type of overlapping causes problems with the status bar. My new solution is to instead *reduce* the child windows' dimensions. This achieves a visual impression similar to the thicker (more well-designed) edges of the "classically themed" list view control. To make it look even better, the main window background is changed from COLOR_WINDOWFRAME (white) to COLOR_WINDOW (light gray).
2022-07-23Fix display of Unicode text.John Ankarström
Turns out that SWI-Prolog's wide string functions, which I started using in 03fe361, do not convert between narrow Prolog atoms and wide C strings, as I mistakenly thought. Instead, they work with wide Prolog atoms. In hindsight, it is not surprising.
2022-07-23Improve UpdateLayout and ResizeColumns.John Ankarström
This incidentally removes the need for the variable template introduced by 21e96c6. I'm sure it will be needed at some point, though.
2022-07-22Cache GetSystemMetrics values with variable template.John Ankarström
The variable template could be generalized like this: template <auto F, auto... A> const auto cache = F(A...); and instantiated like: cache<GetSystemMetrics, SM_CXVSCROLL> It would still be limited to constant function arguments, which usually isn't a problem for GetSystemMetrics, but might be for other functions.
2022-07-20Simplify UpdateLayout.John Ankarström
2022-07-20Fix ANSI compatibility.John Ankarström
It's not very useful, but it's a fun exercise.
2022-07-19Use static member function instead of friend function.John Ankarström
2022-07-19Fix Prolog memory leaks.John Ankarström
Apparently foreign frames ARE needed when calling Prolog from C. The official documentation is very terse and could make this clearer. To summarize, whenever a term is created (e.g., PL_new_term_refs), its reference count is increased by one. It is garbage-collected when its reference count hits zero. But the reference count is never decreased unless (a) control returns to Prolog after executing a foreign predicate -- which does not happen in my application -- or (b) the foreign frame in which the term was created is closed. In other words, terms must be created within a foreign frame. This is achieved by initializing a Frame object before creating the term and destroying it once the term has served its purpose. The destructor for Frame does not DISCARD the frame, only CLOSE it. The former would also invalidate all data bound by the terms, which is usually undesirable.
2022-07-17Make ListView hWnd public.John Ankarström
A getter offers encapsulation, but it is also less transparent in a sense. Thinking of ListView as a struct, it is natural to expose hWnd as a public member variable.
2022-07-17Update type names and variable prefixes.John Ankarström
2022-07-17Add const to pointers, update spacing.John Ankarström
It seems that "right-spaced" pointers are more widely used among C++ programmers.
2022-07-17Add const to places.John Ankarström
Note that I did NOT add const to non-pointer/non-reference arguments in function declarations (without a following definition), as they do not mean anything there.
2022-07-17Use SWI-Prolog's wide-character functions.John Ankarström
This avoids the use of TsmFromSz.
2022-07-16Formatting.John Ankarström
2022-07-16Rewrite TszFromSz as TsmFromSz.John Ankarström
I.e. using std::basic_string<TCHAR> instead of TCHAR *. This removes all unmanaged frees.
2022-07-16Add m_hWndParent to ListView.John Ankarström
This avoids g_hWnd.
2022-07-15Split defs.h into separate header files.John Ankarström
This is feasible now that the makedeps script exists to automatically manage build dependencies (see 6034fe2, d00f8b3).
2022-07-15Reimplement Pl with variadic templatesJohn Ankarström
This is a bit safer and about as complex.
2022-07-15Change declaration style.John Ankarström
2022-07-14Initialize global variables in the right place.John Ankarström
The rules for what messages are sent at window creation -- and in which order -- are neither intuitive or clear. WM_CREATE can NOT be relied upon to initialize global state required by handlers of other messages (such as WM_GETMINMAXINFO, which seems to be sent before WM_CREATE). Thus, the better solution is to initialize everything using a CBT hook before the window procedure is even run. Because CBTProc creates (child): windows of its own, though, one must be careful to only run the initialization once, which is done by checking g_hWnd.
2022-07-11Improve ElvSort.John Ankarström
2022-07-10Convert to C++.John Ankarström
I already hit upon some object-oriented programming patterns in *listview.c, so I felt that it would be natural to use this as an opportunity to learn C++.
