Files changed:
- guidoc.h
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Completely rewrote drawing method to read from bitmaps that are created when files are initialized.
DONE: Implemented zoom feature on bitmaps.
DONE: Added setZoom() method.
DONE: Added drawBitmap() method.
DONE: Added drawLineInBitmap() method.
DONE: Rewrote draw() to only display the bitmap, not calculate everything.
DONE: Added System::Bitmap *b, the bitmap for the drawings.
DONE: Removed curXRange and curYRange, favoring b->Width and b->Height.
DONE: Added 'curZoom' variable to hold the current zoom factor, where 1.00 is 1 pixel to 1 HCad unit.
DONE: Removed xScrollbarOffset.
DONE: Removed yScrollbarOffset.
DONE: Added xOffset and yOffset; they function practically the same as the scrollbarOffsets, but not just for
the scrollbars.
DONE: Replaced curMidX and curMidY with curX and curY, which will signify to the graphics object when drawing
the bitmap the points at which to draw it.
DONE: Flipped all Y values so the 0 of the y-axis is at the bottom of the screen, not the top.
DONE: Implemented scrollbar functionality.

Files changed:
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Attempted to fix centering of files in screen, slight progress.
DONE: Modified feature drawing code slightly to adapt to all screen sizes.

Ryan Curtin
Files changed:
- guidoc.h
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Added xScrollbarOffset and yScrollbarOffset variables, so Scrollbar minimums can always be 0.
DONE: Changed several algorithms for calculating scrollbar size, etc.

14 MAY 2005 [0.3.6.48]
Ryan Curtin
Files changed:
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Changed guiDoc init routines so that initial drawing displays scroll bars correctly.
DONE: Changed direction of scroll bars (suggestion by Austin).
DONE: Changed where scrollbar and zoom are initialized, possibly making method more reliable.
DONE: Made drawing method draw in the correct bounds instead of 1024x768.

TODO: On load, make scrollbars be in middle value, not to either side.
TODO: On load, make document draw all of file in the center of the form.

QUESTION: Remove curYRange, disallowing skewed drawings but saving memory and code?
- hcutoolkit.h
- hcutoolkit.cpp
DONE: Added getMaximumXValue(), which searches through all objects for the maximum x value.
DONE: Added getMinimumXValue().
DONE: Added getMaximumYValue().
DONE: Added getMinimumYValue().
DONE: Added getMaximumZValue() (height).
DONE: Added getMinimumZValue().

NOTE: Those six functions are rather CPU intensive - be careful when using them.

<lot of time on my hands lately...>
Files changed:
- main.cpp
DONE: Implemented prompter ok button handler, now correctly works - deletes object
DONE: Implemented 'Zoom...' dialog, works completely
DONE: Added 'Color Scheme...' menuItem, yet to be implemented
DONE: Changed open method to create a new MDI child each time a file is opened

NOTE: Use prompter for all dialog boxes requiring information. Get the information back by
setting an event handler for handlePrompterResults and use the switch() to find the id.
- guidoc.h
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Created zoom function that takes a percentage of the original zoom, not the current zoom.
DONE: Added scrollbars, implemented basic functionality.

TODO: Make scrollbars dynamically change maximums like regular HCad
TODO: Fix odd behavior on guiDoc startup pertaining to drawing
- prompter.h
- prompter.cpp
DONE: Implemented id constants, to make identification easier in the handler in main.cpp
DONE: Implemented cancel button handler, created destructor
DONE: Made ok button default button - now you can hit enter directly after entering data instead of clicking

Files changed:
- main.cpp
DONE: Implemented basic prompter functionality, as well as handler method for hcuGui.

TODO: Get hcuGui to deinitialize prompter when it's done with it.
- prompter.h
- prompter.cpp
DONE: Implemented death handler, by making button object public. hcuGui owner now implements its own handler
to the button object.
DONE: Created die() method, used when the cancel button is pressed.

Added files:
- prompter.h
- prompter.cpp
The class 'prompter', contained in these files, is designed to provide a simple input functionality for the
HCU program. It will be mainly used in dialogs such as getting the amount to zoom in or other simple text input.
It only has one method (other than initialization), run(), which returns the values, in std::string objects. All
casting to the desired types will have to be done after the class runs.
Files changed:
- main.cpp
DONE: Added 'View' menu, and 'Zoom In', 'Zoom Out', 'Zoom...', and '-' MenuItems, as well as handlers.
DONE: Fixed odd logical error that caused program not to exit when a user asked to exit while having an open, unchanged
track.
- guidoc.h
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Added 'zoom' function, allowing a user to zoom in to a multiple specified.
- prompter.h
- prompter.cpp
DONE: Added basic functionality; give it prompts, numPrompts, and a title and it will run.

TODO: Implement death handler; see code of okClickGo() in prompter.cpp

30 APRIL 2005 [0.3.6.44]
Ryan Curtin
Files changed:
- guidoc.cpp
DONE: Fixed curXRange and curYRange equations so it displays correctly.
DONE: Fixed algorithms so that rooms are drawn correctly. Some error checking still needed.
DONE: Optimized drawing algorithms, so that the CPU is not calculating the same equation five or six times.
DONE: Features are drawn now; however, not correctly.

TODO: Fix drawing of features.
TODO: Finish other drawing methods, like initial positions and free elements. Also, draw nodes.
- main.cpp
DONE: Made guiDoc caption text display the name of the open file.

QUESTION: Remove all directories from filename display, so instead of "C:\blah\track.hcu" it is "track.hcu"?
- hcutoolkit.cpp, hcutoolkit.h
DONE: Added getFeatureFromVector().
DONE: Added getRoomFromVector().

TODO: Decide whether getFeature() and getRoom() are deprecated, and take steps to get rid of their use
