I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
-better handling of "more" prompt for messages that would have scrolled off the window
-support perm_invent
-menu option to add/remove windows captions
This patch is an improvement for menu/text dialogs.
This is a code carried over from Windows CE port. It changes
text and menu windows from "system popup" to plain "child"
windows of the main nethack window. Nethack main window can
now be resized/moved/minimized when menu/text window is up.
Menu/text windows will always stay inside the main window and
move along with it.

This patch implements two things:
- space now dismisses a menu, text or menutext window when you are
at the bottom of that window
- Page scrolling in menus now works as follows:
pressing PgDn (or Space in NH mode) moves the focus down one page,
and moves the scroll position down one page. The effect of this
is that you always get a full new page of items (which is what
NetHack players expect), and that the focus moved down one page
(what Windows users expect.)
The same (revers) goes for scrolling up a page.
A Windows user will still be a bit surprised when the focus is on
the top item, and he presses '>': he gets a new page of things instead
of the focus moving to the bottom of the page.
However, the PgUp/PgDn keys (which he probably uses) still have the
old Windows behaviour.
This implements some items on the ToDo list:
- H0005: Space does the same as PgDn in text, menu and 'menutext'
windows if NetHack mode is on.
- M0004: The cursor (caret) is hidden in text windows and menu
windows.
PgUp/PgDn/Up/Dn don't move the cursor, but scroll the
window.
This patch implements Michael's idea to have a "NetHack mode" for
keypresses. It only does the Alt-keys now, but it should be easy
to extend to pressing space in dialogs; I left that out as we still
have to agree on a new dialog look.
The setting that you choose from the menu is stored in the registry.
Reading and writing the registry is done on init_nhwindows and
exit_nhwindows; there also is a menu item to delete the registry
settings (which makes sure they are not stored again this session.)
This provides a framework for future registry settings.
Also,
Alt-tab should show the app title when a menu or text window is up.
I left the app title as it was, although I still favour "Graphical
Version" or "With Graphics"; Anyway, that's only one resource string.
- added support for new options
- fixed couple of typos in options.c
- added sunken edge around message window
- added capability to replace font in the font table (if we will want to
change font sizes dynamically later)
- added counting to the menu window. I changed the way it works in the TTY
port though ("you hear the rumble of distant thunder..." :) The count
applies to the currently selected item instead of being aplied to the item
to be selected (in other words a12 instead of 12a). It works better this
way in the graphical port since there is a notion of current menu item.
I also notes that the count is ignored for PICK_ONE menu - is this by
design?
- somebode mention that text is not scrollable by default - this is fixed.
- fixed player selection dialog to use initXXXX options

B1028 [reported] win32: popup window is too short
The text in the popup window's top line "What do you want to
call the ..." is cut off. Could the window be bigger, so you
can read the entire line?
Fixed.
---------------------
B1027 [reported] win32: select via traditional class char
In a shop (and perhaps elsewhere), I can autoselect a class of
items to drop: a for all types, b for coins, c for weapons, ...,
A for every item, B for blessed items, ... I like the new
possibilities, but I would like to be able to use the old way of
using ! for potions, ) for weapons, etc., as well.
Fixed.
---------------------
B1026 [reported] win32: setting multiple options
I want to set packorder and pickup_types. The first comes up
first, and I type in the order. Then comes the second, without
any hint what is asked of me. A little explanation here would
be appropriate, like "pick up what things automatically?" or
somesuch. When more than one option is set where extra input
is required, some explanation is useful.
Looking into. Apparently something end_menu() call is ignored by nethackw.
---------------------
B1025 [reported] win32: menu navigation
I press O. Now, when I press "a" to turn on "autodig", not only
is the mark set at "a", but there also appears a dotted
rectangle around option "A" (capitalized). Shouldn't this
rectangle also appear at "a"? Pressing "a" repeatedly toggles
the checkmark, but the rectangle switches between "A" and "a".
My CAPS LOCK is not set. The same goes for B, C, D, ... N,
by the way. Pressing "A" works the other way around: the first
press checks "A" and "rectangles" "a", the next unchecks "A"
and rectangles "A" as well.
Fixed.
---------------------
B1024 [reported] win32: no text in final window
After I clicked away the last screen with information
(challenges, I believe it was), I got an empty text screen, as
big as my screen, without any content. It looked like the text
screens that appear on the right, only it was larger and had
only a large OK button over the full width of the window, and
no cancel button. Why this window?
Fixed. The program did not set window text for RIP window.
---------------------
B1010 [known issue] win32: cosmetic
When I get my list of spells, the columns aren't properly
aligned: if the spell name is longer, the rest of the line
shifts right.
Fixed. Fixed-pitch font is used for menu window.
---------------------
B1004 [reported] win32: numeric keyboard Del/.-key
The Del/.-key on my numeric keyboard doesn't make me rest a turn
Fixed. Added rest on Del.
---------------------
B1003 [reported] win32: focus
When the window has the focus, the window bar isn't highlighted.
This is by design. Menu and text widnows are popup and the main
window is disabled when they are up.
Fixes:
- menu shortcuts implemented
- most windows close on space (except for menus with
PICK_ANY style)
- "hilite_pet" option is implemented
- map scrolling is improved somewhat (it now scrolls if
the char is within 5 spaces from the edge of the map -
configurable by #define CLIPAROUND_MARGIN)
- added 3 winhack-specific options:
win32_map_mode:[tiles|ascii4x6|ascii6x8|ascii8x8
|ascii16x8|ascii7x12|ascii8x12|ascii15x12
|ascii12x16|ascii10x18|fit_to_screen]=20
win32_align_status:[left|top|right|bottom]
win32_align_message:[left|top|right|bottom]
Note: aligning status window to left or right edge of the screen does
not look good.
