... Rename it as SetStatus; make it part of AudacityProject not
TrackPanelListener; and use a roundabout event signalling to cause the timer
restart.
Because SetStatus will be one of very few things left in AudacityProject, but
the timer handling will be part of another class decoupled from it.
And TrackPanelListener won't really be needed: TrackPanel will not need to
pretend it doesn't know what an AudacityProject is.
... except Audacity.h
This forces us to make each header contain all forward declarations or nested
headers that it requires, rather than depend on context.
... which will make it easier to change the types of those containers to
std::vectors of other string-like classes

The main change in wx accessibility is this:
7dab555f71 (diff-04f5191d86f95b1c4d5d9c979da65878)
However wxWindowAccessible has not been updated to take into account of that change. In particular wxWindowAccessible::GetParent() was always wrong, but it was consistent with the rest of the framework. Now it's wrong and inconsistent. This function should return an object with role window, and which has the same name.
The fix is to introduce class WindowAccessible, which is effectively our own version of wxWindowAccessible. This class does not override GetParent(), and so just relies on a standard accessible object to to the right thing in wxIAccessible::get_accParent() (which is does). This class also allows us to have our own version of GetName(), which allows us to set the accessibility names of buttons.
These changes will break the accessibility of Audacity if it is built with wxWidgets 3.0.X. If this is a problem, then there could be some #if stuff in WindowAccessible.h to turn the WindowAccessible class into one which simply inherits from wxWindowAccessible, and doesn't override anything.
Previously hovering over a down button made no difference.
Also tweaked the appearance of hover-over thumbs on dark theme sliders.
Also tweaked hover images and colours generally.
Classic retains the old style.
Hi Contrast does not distinguish between hover-up and hover-down.
... Use Command+f5 to start VoiceOver, then control+alt+ left and right arrows
to navigate.
Much better now, but still we need to do something about sliders, meters, and
numeric text controls.
... if the event is not handled and skipped by sub-windows first, such as for
toolbar button clicks.
(But track panel clicks are skipped even after doing something, so they may
also cause seeking besides other responses. So click can seek AND set cursor.)
This is meant to make drag to seek and wheel for change of speed easier,
without needing to keep the mouse in the narrow time ruler.
Also lets you click in the ruler, then move in any direction, and not miss the
motion event that should start the scrub playback.
The event handling is a bit of a hack, using propagation. It does not use
capture.
... Should have no effect on generated code, except perhaps some slight faster
virtual function calls. Mostly useful as documentation of design intent.
Tried to mark every one of our classes that inherits from another, or is a
base for others, or has abstract virtual functions, and a few others besides.
* Loop play-at-speed and cut preview play-at-speed implemented.
* Shift or ctrl down now affect all relevant buttons, loop or cut preview, normal or at speed, and append-record.
This also (hopefully) corrects some additional problems in general
realtime support. Particular focus should be given to the handling
of various combinations of stereo, left channel mono, right channel
mono, and true mono as this has been a particularly troublesome
area.
I've made it where you can enable and disable via experimentals:
EXPERIMENTAL_REALTIME_EFFECTS
EXPERIMENTAL_EFFECTS_RACK
You will notice that, as of now, the only effects currently set up for
realtime are VSTs. Now that this is in, I will start converting the
rest.
As I start to convert the effects, the astute of you may notice that
they no longer directly access tracks or any "internal" Audacity
objects. This isolates the effects from changes in Audacity and makes
it much easier to add new ones.
Anyway, all 3 platforms can now display VST effects in graphical mode.
Yes, that means Linux too. There are quite a few VSTs for Linux if
you search for them.
The so-called "rack" definitely needs some discussion, work, and attention
from someone much better at graphics than me. I'm not really sure it should
stay in as-is. I'd originally planned for it to be simply a utility window
where you can store your (preconfigured) favorite effects. It should probably
revert back to that idea.
You may notice that this DOES include the API work I did. The realtime effects
were too tied to it and I didn't want to redo the whole thing. As I mentioned
elsewhere, the API stuff may or may not be very future proof.
So, let the critter complaints commence. I absolute KNOW there will be some.
(I know I'll be hearing from the Linux peeps pretty darn quickly. ;-))
