- This patch implements a generic notebook based mdi,
due to that wxMDIChildFrame could not derive from
wxFrame some things in the samples and in the docmdi
classes needed to be adjusted... basically this comes
down to not do (wxFrame *) but instead do
(wxMDIChildFrame *), or store a pointer to the frame in a
wxWindow* instead of a wxFrame variable...
- The main reason wxMDIChildFrame cannot derive from
wxFrame is that it would take to much platform specific
functions to be overwritten (= lot of ifdef's). This then
couldn't be called generic anymore, so that's why we
need to derive from wxPanel...
- Tested on/with:
1. wxMSW (I disabled the MSW MDI implementation to
be able to test it), tested it with the MDI sample,
docvwmdi sample and docview sample and also tested it
with wxWorkshop. (test = compile and run)
2. wxX11, tested with the same set wxWin samples as
the wxMSW test. I also compiled wxWorkshop with it,
but could not run wxWorkshop due to some issue not
related to the MDI implementation.
- How to apply:
* Apply the patch
* move mdig.cpp into wxWindows/src/generic/
* move mdig.h into wxWindows/include/wx/generic/
- Some extra things that still need to be done:
* File lists, project files should be updated to include
mdig.cpp (the patch only change this on wxX11)
* The configuration script should be updated.
* Maybe wxUSE_GENERIC_MDI_ARCHITECTURE also
should be added so it is only included when wanted...

Distribution scripts and lists
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This directory (distrib\msw) contains some 4DOS batch files
(.bat) and 'response' files (.rsp) to simplify the job of
producing distributions. The .rsp files specify which files are
associated with a particular module, e.g. wx200vc.rsp refers to
the VC++ project files, wx200gen.rsp represents the generic files,
wx200msw.rsp specifies the Windows specific files, etc.
When making a distribution on Windows, I call zipdist.bat to prepare
zip files with everything needed for Windows,
GTK and Motif. zipdist then unzips some of them into
deliver\wx, removes and adds a few files to perfect the
distribution.
zipdist then calls 'makewise.bat' to generate a new wxwin2.wse
script, for WISE Installer. It takes wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt
and adds the section for file installation. (If you've modified
wxwin2.wse using WISE Installer, simply compile and run splitwise.exe
to put back up-to-date wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt files before
running zipdist.)
Finally, zipdist runs WISE Installer using a command line
argument to produce the setup.* files automatically.
Note that although zipdist.bat produces archives for 3 platforms,
I only use a subset of these to produce the Windows-specific
setup.exe. I then have the option of distributing the zip files
as well.
You may need to install 4DOS to run these scripts. If anyone
wishes to remove 4DOS dependency, that's fine with me.
