* Add event handler to check all button clicks for default command event
IDs and handle them appropriately by either calling EndQuasiModal() or
passing the event up the event handler chain to allow the default dialog
handlers to perform their magic.
* Add event handler to handle the close window event properly.
* Add scope brackets so the wxBusyCursor will stop being displayed when
the footprint library loading is complete in CvPcb.
The new (eeschema, so far) hotkeys editor uses the right-click menu for the
reset command, so the reset-to-default function that was added in 6652
(git:0cd7476) was not accessible from eeschema.
* remove duplicate code between draw functions and STROKE_FONT used in GAL. Use only STROKE_FONT methods in draw, plot and test DRC function for texts. It remove slightly different shapes between GAL and other calculations.
* fix incorrect bounding box for texts with overbar. Especially noticeable for texts with overbar inside a copper zone in Pcbnew.
* fix a few minor other bugs related to graphic texts.
- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
The functions involved in the problem were PGM_BASE::GetEditorName and
EDA_BASE_FRAME::OnSelectPreferredEditor:
1) OnSelectPreferredEditor showed a dialog to allow the user selecting the
editor, but before that called GetEditorName to get the name of the current
editor (to show as a default in the choose file dialog).
2) The problem was when there was no editor, GetEditorName showed its own
dialog.
3) So the user was seeing first the dialog from (2) and then the dialog from
(1).
4) As GetEditorName is used in many other places the solution I did was to add
to it an optional parameter that tells it what to do if no editor is set. To
avoid modifying other code that relies on the current behaviour, this parameter
has a default value that causes to show the dialog. But now when
OnSelectPreferredEditor calls it, it passes the parameter that causes it to
return an empty string if no editor was set.
5) Also, I found a second bug while doing it which allowed in the first dialog
to select an unexistent file (the dialog was missing the wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST
flag).
6) Lastly, to avoid having duplicated code (the one that showed the same dialog
and that configured the wildcard was in two methods) I created a single
function that now both functions call: PGM_BASE::AskUserForPreferredEditor.
This way we also will have consistency in the behaviour of both dialogs and
there is a single place where it needs to be modified.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
