2022-08-06	Use typedefs when interacting with Win32 API.	John Ankarström
	It's not like they're ever going to change the definition of WORD (knock on wood) -- but I guess it's proper to use them as if their definitions might change.
2022-08-05	Rename Dragger functions.	John Ankarström

2022-08-04	Use C++ casts, nullptr.	John Ankarström

2022-08-04	Add comments.	John Ankarström

2022-08-03	Use Pascal case for all functions.	John Ankarström

2022-08-03	Split common.h to util.h, wcharptr.h and win.h.	John Ankarström

2022-08-03	Clean up Dragger.	John Ankarström

2022-08-03	Remove 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.
2022-08-03	Load uxtheme dynamically.	John Ankarström
	In case it is not supported. If I am not mistaken, SWI-Prolog supports Windows 2000, so there is no reason why Episode Browser shouldn't.
2022-08-02	Implement draggable split.	John Ankarström
	Next step is to allow a double click to reset the split to be automatically resized.
2022-07-31	Limit 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.
2022-07-29	Add ListView::FindNextItem.	John Ankarström
	This makes it much more ergonomic and less error-prone to look up list view items.
2022-07-26	Remove 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.
2022-07-24	Improve 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).
2022-07-23	Improve 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.
2022-07-20	Simplify UpdateLayout.	John Ankarström

2022-07-20	Simplify require, prefer.	John Ankarström

2022-07-20	Improve ANSI compatibility.	John Ankarström
	This improves upon 79d4fa6. Actually, ANSI compatibility may be desirable, as recent work has been done to make the A versions of Windows API functions work with UTF-8.
2022-07-20	Fix ANSI compatibility.	John Ankarström
	It's not very useful, but it's a fun exercise.
2022-07-20	Fix bug in and rename throw_nil, warn_nil.	John Ankarström
	In warn_nil, the return value was undefined on exception -- I think. While informative, the names throw_nil and warn_nil don't work very well in conditionals: if (warn_nil<f>(...)) g(); sounds like g should be called if f returns nil and a warning is issued. But it is actually the other way around; g is called if f is successful. if (prefer<f>(...)) g(); sounds less like that.
2022-07-19	Check Windows API calls for errors more consistently.	John Ankarström
	Some of the checks are likely redundant, but the Windows API documentation rarely makes it clear WHICH errors may be returned (and under which circumstances) rather than simply WHETHER errors may be returned (under any circumstances, including those that do not apply in the given case).
2022-07-19	Formatting.	John Ankarström

2022-07-18	Add Unicode support to Win32Error.	John Ankarström

2022-07-17	Make 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.
2022-07-17	Update type names and variable prefixes.	John Ankarström

2022-07-17	Name function arguments in headers.	John Ankarström
	This is obviously a lot less obtuse.
2022-07-17	Add const to pointers, update spacing.	John Ankarström
	It seems that "right-spaced" pointers are more widely used among C++ programmers.
2022-07-17	Add 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.
2022-07-16	Formatting.	John Ankarström

2022-07-16	Add m_hWndParent to ListView.	John Ankarström
	This avoids g_hWnd.
2022-07-15	Split 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).
2022-07-15	Change declaration style.	John Ankarström

2022-07-14	Code style.	John Ankarström

2022-07-14	Pass WM_DESTROY to ListView::WndProc.	John Ankarström
	On WM_DESTROY, the "this" property was removed before it could be retrieved and dereferenced, making it impossible for WM_DESTROY messages to be passed to the WndProc method.
2022-07-14	Minor formal changes.	John Ankarström
	Height(DLVSIKEY) was incorrect. The argument to Height is supposed to be a boolean value, in this case false. It happened to work because DLVSIKEY is 0 (because Key is the 0th column in the data list view).
2022-07-14	Initialize 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.
2022-07-11	Improve ElvSort.	John Ankarström

2022-07-11	Refactor, adjust minimum window size.	John Ankarström

2022-07-10	Convert 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++.
