2022-08-03	Minor changes.	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	Minor improvements.	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	Improve wstring_owner, rename to wchar_ptr.	John Ankarström
	The user-defined conversion function makes the interface a lot simpler AND safer.
2022-08-02	Replace maybe_make.	John Ankarström
	It seems unnecessary to throw exceptions when simply checking whether a library exists.
2022-08-02	Remember data list view height across sessions.	John Ankarström

2022-08-02	Double-click dragger to reset.	John Ankarström
	One cannot use WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK here, because it relies on WM_LBUTTONDOWN being passed to the default message handler.
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	Make WsoFromSz and WsoCopy static member functions of wstring_owner.	John Ankarström

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.
2022-07-31	Improve initial scroll position.	John Ankarström
	(When the focused episode is near the end of the list.)
2022-07-31	Simplify exception handling.	John Ankarström

2022-07-31	Move EBMessageBox's CBTProc into lambda.	John Ankarström

2022-07-31	Use _snwprintf_s instead of swprintf_s for wszf.	John Ankarström

2022-07-30	Simplify EpisodeListView::UpdateItem, remove m_lviFocus.	John Ankarström

2022-07-30	Add debugging functions.	John Ankarström

2022-07-30	Show dynamic status bar tips.	John Ankarström
	The difference in speed seems to be extremely minimal: a few microseconds.
2022-07-30	Add 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.
2022-07-30	Add non-throwing variants of Query methods.	John Ankarström
	Pl has also been refactored, so that the unnecessary throw and catch have been removed.
2022-07-30	Formatting.	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).
2022-07-29	Add ListView::FindNextItem.	John Ankarström
	This makes it much more ergonomic and less error-prone to look up list view items.
2022-07-29	Use swprintf_s instead of string streams.	John Ankarström
	I find it much simpler. It is very safe, as wszf only accepts fixed-size arrays. There is, of course, the chance that swprintf_s fails and writes nothing into the array. This can be handled by the caller, if desired.
2022-07-28	Refactor thread/timer.	John Ankarström

2022-07-27	Fix typo.	John Ankarström

2022-07-27	Fix status bar help message.	John Ankarström
	The string arrays are static.
2022-07-27	Fix remaining memory bugs.	John Ankarström
	See f7534e2.
2022-07-27	Change WM_MENUSELECT handling.	John Ankarström
	This has two benefits: 1. The for loop is avoided. 2. It is shorter. The drawback is that it is a bit opaque. The order of the array elements still matter, but now it is coupled to what is declared in resource.h, a completely separate file. This makes it harder to change resource.h.
2022-07-27	Fix memory bug.	John Ankarström
	swprintf_s excepts the NUMBER of characters, not the SIZE of the buffer. The argument is named sizeOfBuffer in the documentation, but don't let that fool you (like it did me). Interestingly enough, this bug causes a crash ONLY when compiling WITHOUT optimizations (at least on my system). The crash was introduced in 3a133c4, where I removed the `static' attribute from tszRating. I guess the optimizer moves the memory around such that the memory after the string happens to be unimportant.
2022-07-27	Improve resource.h.	John Ankarström

2022-07-27	Fix About dialog text.	John Ankarström
	Because GNU windres doesn't support UTF-16, resources.rc must be saved as Latin-1.
2022-07-26	Rewrite WM_MENUSELECT handling.	John Ankarström

2022-07-26	Use 's' instead of 'str' for as prefix for managed strings.	John Ankarström

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.
2022-07-26	Improve Win32Error, library handling code.	John Ankarström

2022-07-25	Move menu command processing to separate functions.	John Ankarström

2022-07-25	Reorganize resource IDs, message handling.	John Ankarström
	The resource IDs have been changed such that * the first (least significant) half byte represents the "group", * the second half byte represents the "subgroup", and * the third and fourth half bytes uniquely identify the resource within the group. Combined with the use of a few helper macros, this makes the message handling code a lot simpler.
2022-07-25	Show menu item info in status bar.	John Ankarström

2022-07-24	Update layout on theme change.	John Ankarström

2022-07-24	Fix PL_get_tchars.	John Ankarström
	See c6cd2f1.
2022-07-24	Use Query object in DataListView::ShowEpisode.	John Ankarström

2022-07-24	Reorganize EpisodeListView::Update.	John Ankarström

2022-07-24	Add const.	John Ankarström

2022-07-24	Use std::vector for tracking selected episodes.	John Ankarström
	This also fixes an off-by-one error leading to an out-of-bounds write.
2022-07-24	Rename g_hFocus to g_hWndFocus.	John Ankarström

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).
