<div class="section" id="id1">
|
||
<h1><a name="id1">2.5.2.2</a></h1>
|
||
<p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
|
||
sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
|
||
be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
|
||
be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
|
||
flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
|
||
that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best
|
||
size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
|
||
(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please
|
||
see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
|
||
now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p>
|
||
<p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
|
||
have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
|
||
implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
|
||
that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
|
||
parameters.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
|
||
all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p>
|
||
<p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p>
|
||
<p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
|
||
as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
|
||
reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
|
||
all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
|
||
buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
|
||
inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
|
||
should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
|
||
done.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
|
||
exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
|
||
automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
|
||
are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
|
||
a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
|
||
problems.</p>
|
||
<p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
|
||
track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to
|
||
Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
|
||
there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
|
||
detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p>
|
||
<p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
|
||
running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
|
||
to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
|
||
remaining compatible with "C".</p>
|
||
<p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
|
||
wxCode project.</p>
|
||
<p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side
|
||
leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
|
||
of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl
|
||
contributed by Pierre Hj<48>lm. This will hopefully greatly extend the
|
||
life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and
|
||
less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less
|
||
interest in maintaining the C++ version. At this point there are just
|
||
a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the
|
||
<a class="reference" href="MigrationGuide.html">MigrationGuide</a> file for details.</p>
|
||
<p>EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in
|
||
Scintilla for several releases now.</p>
|
||
<p>All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also
|
||
many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a
|
||
wx.App object has already been created and will raise a
|
||
wx.PyNoAppError exception if not.</p>
|
||
<p>Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be
|
||
constructed with only the parent window arg. In some cases other args
|
||
may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set
|
||
after construction.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules. If you
|
||
were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist
|
||
with a more modern reimplementation.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker. It's now
|
||
in a subpackage of wx.lib.</p>
|
||
<p>It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a
|
||
panel or dialog. For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and
|
||
MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.</p>
|

<div class="section" id="id2">
|
||
<h1><a name="id2">2.5.1.5</a></h1>
|
||
<p>(See also the <a class="reference" href="MigrationGuide.html">MigrationGuide</a> file for details about some of the
|
||
big changes that have happened in this release and how you should
|
||
adapt your code.)</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please
|
||
see <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm">http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm</a> for more details. This won't
|
||
really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the
|
||
wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail
|
||
list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing. We're going to try
|
||
and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to
|
||
be aware of this change if you run into any issues.</p>
|
||
<p>Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move
|
||
to wxWidgets 2.5 that I have forgotten about.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMirrorDC.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIconLocation</p>
|
||
<p>Added Python wrappers and demos for the new wxVScrolledWindow,
|
||
wxVListBox, and wxHtmlListBox classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives
|
||
from wxBookCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the
|
||
wx.lib.plot module.</p>
|
||
<p>I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the
|
||
Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can
|
||
happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.</p>
|
||
<p>The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake Linux in
|
||
Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. The RPMs are
|
||
also installing icons and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.desktop</span></tt> items in the generic KDE and
|
||
GNOME locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu
|
||
items on non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my
|
||
RH-9 build box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas
|
||
for how to improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more
|
||
distros please send me a patch.</p>
|
||
<p>The RPMs are now built on a fairly generic RH-9 box, and I have tested
|
||
installing them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.</p>
|
||
<p>There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual
|
||
Installer package now <em>only</em> installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython
|
||
extension modules and Python packages, and also the command-line tool
|
||
scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles
|
||
for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk
|
||
image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they
|
||
want to put them.</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly
|
||
different API.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated the AnalogClockWindow with many enhancements from E. A. Tac<61>o.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac now has wx.ToggleButton!</p>
|
||
<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl has been updated to version 1.58 of Scintilla.</p>
|
||
<p>To help with the wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl performance issues on wxMac
|
||
I've added a SetUseAntiAliasing method (and GetUseAntiAliasing too)
|
||
that will turn off the use of antialiased fonts in the wxSTC, allowing
|
||
it to bypass the slow text measuring routines and use the fast and
|
||
simple one instead. By default the setting is turned off (on wxMac
|
||
only.) When run on OSX the Py* apps have a new item on the Options
|
||
menu for controlling this setting if you would like to experiment with
|
||
it.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wx.lib.calendar with many fixes and enhancements from Joerg
|
||
"Adi" Sieker.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.</p>
|
||
<p>AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile,
|
||
MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
|
||
describe the platform and build options of wxPython. See the
|
||
MigrationGuide for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's
|
||
newest <a class="reference" href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/~blackpaw1/wxactivex.html">wxActiveX</a> class. (The existing iewin module used an older
|
||
version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.) This
|
||
new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX
|
||
controls in a wx.Window, <strong>without</strong> requiring the use of the win32com
|
||
and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems
|
||
that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the
|
||
GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module
|
||
will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards
|
||
compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow
|
||
in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed.
|
||
Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper
|
||
module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I
|
||
couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that,
|
||
if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider
|
||
migrating away from using activexwrapper as well. Please see the
|
||
MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.</p>
|
||
<p>Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.</p>

|

<div class="section" id="id4">
|
||
<h1><a name="id4">2.4.2.4</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Use wxSTC in the demo for displaying the soucre code of the samples.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of bug fixes and such from the wxWindows folks.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.newevent from Miki Tebeka. Its usage is
|
||
demonstrated in the Threads sample in the demo.</p>
|
||
<p>Updates to wxMaskedEditCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMaskedNumCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Chris Barker's FloatCanvas.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id5">
|
||
<h1><a name="id5">2.4.1.2</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added wxScrolledPanel from Will Sadkin</p>
|
||
<p>Added SetShape method to top level windows (e.g. wxFrame.)</p>
|
||
<p>Changed wxSWIG to not generate Python code using apply, (since it will
|
||
be deprecated in the future) wxSWIG will use <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">spam(*args,</span> <span class="pre">**kw)</span></tt> syntax
|
||
instead. Also changed the generated __repr__ methods to be a bit more
|
||
informative.</p>
|
||
<p>Made the version number information more robust and uh, informative.
|
||
Also added asserts to check that the major.minor versions of wxPython
|
||
and wxWindows match.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the new wx "renamer" package that will dynamically import from
|
||
the wxPython package and rename wxFooBar --> FooBar. That means that
|
||
people can do imports without <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">"import</span> <span class="pre">*"</span></tt> and can use names like
|
||
wx.Frame instead of wx.wxFrame. This is phase 1 of a full transition
|
||
to the new namespace.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated Scintilla to 1.52. I also changed it to use wxListCtrl
|
||
instead of wxListBox for the AutoComplete window, added the ability to
|
||
use custom bitmaps in the margin and in the AutoComplete windows, and
|
||
worked out how to do proper clipping of child windows on wxGTK.</p>
|
||
<p>Patrick O'Brien's PyCrust package has been renamed to Py and now
|
||
includes several new tools. As part of the change the location of the
|
||
pacakge has changed as well, it is now accessible as "from wxPython
|
||
import py" (or "from wx import py" using the new namespace.) There
|
||
are still some transition modules in the wxPython.lib.PyCrust package
|
||
that will issue a warning and then import what is needed from the new
|
||
package. These will be removed in a future release.</p>
|
||
<p>Added __nonzero__ method to wxTreeItemId, wxBitmap, wxImage, wxFont,
|
||
and most other classes that have an Ok or IsOK method. This allows
|
||
code like "if obj: ..." to be the same as "if obj.IsOk(): ..."</p>
|
||
<p>Toolbars on wxMac can now have controls on them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.analogclock module based on samples that were
|
||
passed back and forth on wxPython-users a while back.</p>
|
||
<p>Added masked edit controls (wxPython.lib.maskededit) by Jeff Childers
|
||
and Will Sadkin. Updated wxTimeCtrl to use MaskedEdit.</p>
|
||
<p>When the __class__ of a dead object is replaced with _wxPyDeadObject
|
||
the __del__ of the original class is now called first.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTreeListCtrl. (Looks like a wxTreeCtrl embedded in a
|
||
wxListCtrl, but actually is just giving multiple columns to a
|
||
wxTreeCtrl.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFutureCall, a subclass of wxTimer that makes it easy to delay
|
||
a call to any Python callable object.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPy versions of wxPrintPreview, wxPreviewFrame, and
|
||
wxPreviewControlBar so they can be derived from in Python and be able
|
||
to override the C++ virtual methods.</p>
|
||
<p>Simplified how the wxSizer methods are wrapped, changed the name of
|
||
the "option" parameter to "proportion" to match the docs ("option" is
|
||
still accepted for compatibility, but this will go away in a future
|
||
release,) SetItemMinSize can now take a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter,
|
||
and Spacers can be specified with a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCursorFromBits.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id6">
|
||
<h1><a name="id6">2.4.0.7</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Gave up on generating a warning upon the use of the old true/false or
|
||
TRUE/FALSE values.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxGenericTreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac for wxTreeCtrl) so
|
||
that it can successfully handle lots of nodes instead of overflowing
|
||
when the virtual height of the widget overflowed a 16-bit value.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the typemap that converts strings to wxColours to also accept
|
||
unicode.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed problem where the wrong class name could sometimes be used for
|
||
OOR.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed an interpreter lock problem in the __eq__ and __ne__ methods in
|
||
wxSize and etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated PyCrust to version 0.9</p>
|
||
<p>Instead of always logging C++ assertions, added wxPYAPP_ASSERT_LOG
|
||
flag to turn it on. In most cases turning it into an exception (the
|
||
default behavior) is enough. See below in the 2.3.4.1 notes for more
|
||
details.</p>

<div class="section" id="a-k-a-the-i-m-so-stupid-release">

<h1><a name="a-k-a-the-i-m-so-stupid-release">2.4.0.6 (a.k.a. the I'm so stupid release)</a></h1>
|

<p>The new deprecation class for the old true/false symbols can now be
|
||
returned from OnInit. And I promise to be sure I am testing what I

<p>A few little but annoying bug fixes.</p>
|

<p>Updated pycolourchooser.</p>
|

<p>Updated to 0.9b of PyCrust.</p>

</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id7">
|

<h1><a name="id7">2.4.0.4</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added missing wxRect methods</p>
|
||
<p>Add OOR support for wxApp objects too.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCursorFromImage, which works on wxMSW and wxGTK so far.</p>
|
||
<p>All platforms now send EVT_DESTROY_WINDOW. Be warned that at the time
|
||
the event is sent the window is in the process of being deconstructed,
|
||
and so calling some (most?) methods of the window itself may cause
|
||
problems.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed SF Bug #689481, a method in the OGL wrappers was using the wrong
|
||
return type.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed SF Bug #689958, an endless loop in printout.py.</p>
|
||
<p>Added EVT_WINDOW_CREATE_ID and EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY_ID so these events
|
||
can be associated with a specific window ID and more easily caught by
|
||
the parent window.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed copy-paste error in wxListCtrl.GetFirstSelected.</p>
|
||
<p>Added missing Init method (and an overloading wrapper) to wxLocale
|
||
wrapper.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wxBitmap.SetMaskColour convenience method.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed how the dynamic event tables (used for all Python wx classes,
|
||
C++ wx classes typically use static event tables) are searched such
|
||
that they behave from a Python perspective more like the static tables
|
||
in C++. Namely that if there are identical event bindings in a base
|
||
Python class and a derived Python class that the one in the derived
|
||
class will be found first and that if Skip is called that the one in
|
||
the base class will still be found instead of skipping directly to the
|
||
static stable in the C++ class.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched to using True/False in the wxPython lib and demo instead of
|
||
true/false or TRUE/FALSE to prepare for the new boolean type and
|
||
constants being added to Python. Added code to wx.py to test for the
|
||
existence of the new constants and to create suitable values if not
|
||
present.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some static wxApp functions that help with integration with the
|
||
Mac UI. They are no-ops on other platforms so it doesn't hurt to
|
||
always call them. The functions are:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
wxApp_GetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC
|
||
wxApp_GetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts
|
||
wxApp_GetMacAboutMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_GetMacPreferencesMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_GetMacExitMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_GetMacHelpMenuTitleName
|
||
wxApp_SetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC
|
||
wxApp_SetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts
|
||
wxApp_SetMacAboutMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_SetMacPreferencesMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_SetMacExitMenuItemId
|
||
wxApp_SetMacHelpMenuTitleName</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Refactored, enhanced and added capabilities for the DrawXXXList
|
||
functions, inspired by code from Chris Barker.</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWindows .mo language catalog files are now installed in a
|
||
subdirectory of the wxPython package dir on MSW since that platform
|
||
doesn't have a standard place for them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added missing deselect methods for wxGrid.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed typemaps for wxGridCellCoordsArray.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated to the 0.9a version of PyCrust</p>

<p>Several bug fixes in wxWindows.</p>

<p>Added wxHtmlFilter.</p>
|
||
<p>wxASSERT and related C++ runtime diagnostics are now converted to
|
||
Python exceptions. When an assert happens a wxPyAssertionError
|
||
(which derives from AssertionError) exception is created and when
|
||
control returns back to the Python code that invoked the C++ API it
|
||
will be raised. The same exception restrictions are in place as
|
||
before, namely that exceptions can't cross from one Python layer
|
||
through C++ to another Python layer. That simply means that if you
|
||
want to catch wxPyAssertionError or any other exception that you need
|
||
to do it before control returns to C++ at the end of your event
|
||
handler or callback code. There is some test code in demo/wxButton.py
|
||
you can use to play with this new feature.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some methods to wxApp (SetAssertMode and GetAssertMode) that let
|
||
you control how C++ assertions are processed. Valid modes are:
|
||
wxPYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS, wxPYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION, and
|
||
wxPYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG. Using _SUPPRESS will give you behavior like
|
||
the old "final" builds and the assert will be ignored, _EXCEPTION is
|
||
the new default described above, and _DIALOG is like the default in
|
||
2.3.3.1 and prior "hybrid" builds. You can also combine _EXCEPTION
|
||
and _DIALOG if you wish, although I don't know why you would.</p>
|
||
<p>You can now overload OnInitGui, OnExit and OnAssert in your classes
|
||
derived from wxApp.</p>
|
||
<p>Added GetSelectedCells, GetSelectionBlockTopLeft,
|
||
GetSelectionBlockBottomRight, GetSelectedRows, GetSelectedCols nethods
|
||
to wxGrid.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Python == and != operators for some basic classes</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the Python wrappers for wxInputStream so they no longer block
|
||
when reading from a wxProcess on wxGTK. They now work more or less as
|
||
they did before 2.3.3.1 but the dual meaning of eof() has been
|
||
removed. There is now a CanRead() method that lets you know if there
|
||
is data waiting to be read from the pipe.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed method name clash in wxIEHtmlWin, renamed Refresh to RefreshPage.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Throbber from Cliff Wells to the library and the demo.</p>
|
||
<p>Windows installer prompts to uninstall old version first.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.evtmgr by Robb Shecter, which is an easier, more
|
||
"Pythonic" and more OO method of registering handlers for wxWindows
|
||
events using the Publish/Subscribe pattern.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.popupctl by Gerrit van Dyk which is a combobox-like
|
||
gizmo for poping up arbitrary controls. It is currently using
|
||
wxDialog because of some issues with wxPopupWindow...</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.gridmovers by Gerrit van Dyk which facilitates the
|
||
dragging of columns and/or rows in a wxGrid.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.multisash by Gerrit van Dyk which is a nice
|
||
implementation of allowing the user to split a window any number of
|
||
times either horizontally or vertically, and to close the split off
|
||
windows when desired.</p>
|
||
<p>Added helpviewer tool that displays HTML books similarly to how MS
|
||
HTMLHelp viewer does. Changed how the wxPythonDocs tarball is built
|
||
and added a script to launch the doc viewer.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id12">
|
||
<h1><a name="id12">2.3.3.1</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added wxSplashScreen.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGenericDirCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMultiChoiceDialog.</p>
|
||
<p>The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a
|
||
wxPopupWindow if available on the platform (and functioning correctly)
|
||
so they can extend beyond the client area of the STC if needed.</p>
|
||
<p>Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also
|
||
added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now
|
||
be loaded from any Python "file-like" object.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image
|
||
data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to
|
||
convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer.
|
||
This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a
|
||
row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row
|
||
spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank.
|
||
Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in
|
||
wxFlexGridSizer.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxBufferedDC.</p>
|
||
<p>Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45, and then again
|
||
to version 1.47, and one more time to 1.48! <wink></p>

<dl>
|
||
<dt>UNICODE!</dt>
|
||
<dd><p class="first">wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or
|
||
disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always
|
||
used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if
|
||
it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently
|
||
wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with
|
||
the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until
|
||
it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.</p>
|
||
<p>Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows
|
||
family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the
|
||
same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is
|
||
done by using a special library and DLL with the application
|
||
called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of
|
||
the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a
|
||
win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode
|
||
versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get
|
||
this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but
|
||
wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the
|
||
unicode build on win95.</p>
|
||
<p class="last">So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled,
|
||
then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString
|
||
from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and
|
||
parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can
|
||
accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string
|
||
object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the
|
||
converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default
|
||
system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other
|
||
encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python
|
||
codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython
|
||
method.</p>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter.</p>
|
||
<p>A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or
|
||
whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object
|
||
to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to
|
||
crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++
|
||
pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the
|
||
Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever
|
||
a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works
|
||
for any class that is OOR aware.</p>
|
||
<p>Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor,
|
||
wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their
|
||
derived classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of
|
||
the image data. (Patch #546009)</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++
|
||
application.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their
|
||
wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual
|
||
methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods
|
||
supported are:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>DoMoveWindow
|
||
DoSetSize
|
||
DoSetClientSize
|
||
DoSetVirtualSize
|
||
DoGetSize
|
||
DoGetClientSize
|
||
DoGetPosition
|
||
DoGetVirtualSize
|
||
DoGetBestSize
|
||
InitDialog
|
||
TransferDataFromWindow
|
||
TransferDataToWindow
|
||
Validate
|
||
AcceptsFocus
|
||
AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard
|
||
GetMaxSize
|
||
AddChild
|
||
RemoveChild</p>
|
||
<p>If there are other methods that you think should be supported
|
||
please let me know.</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload
|
||
DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxArtProvider.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function
|
||
(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there
|
||
are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do
|
||
something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The
|
||
implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a boatload of reference leaks.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect
|
||
creating a ScrolledPanel.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and
|
||
other menu stuff.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the
|
||
ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in
|
||
C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and
|
||
so it is less fragile in the face of changes.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com
|
||
modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a
|
||
transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving
|
||
tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after
|
||
win32com got rid of the temporary tstate...</p>
|
||
<p>Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is
|
||
so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can
|
||
respond to mouse events and etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1
|
||
on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise.</p>
|
||
<p>Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to
|
||
import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the
|
||
tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the
|
||
tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to
|
||
easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be
|
||
started with just the "pycrust" command.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and
|
||
displays the details of the event.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers
|
||
for nonstandard class types in XRC resources. See the demo for an
|
||
example.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.mixins.rubberband module from Robb Shecter.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTimeCtrl from Will Sadkin.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id13">
|
||
<h1><a name="id13">2.3.2.1</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as
|
||
well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines
|
||
without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some patches from library contributors.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id14">
|
||
<h1><a name="id14">2.3.2</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP,
|
||
EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent,
|
||
wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow,
|
||
and a demo to show them in action.</p>
|
||
<p>Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see
|
||
<a class="reference" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/</a>. )</p>
|
||
<p>Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.</p>
|
||
<p>Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman
|
||
Rolinsky.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the
|
||
default C++ constructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the
|
||
corresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step
|
||
creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such
|
||
as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for
|
||
passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the
|
||
resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of
|
||
the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame,
|
||
etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
|
||
accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style
|
||
from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This
|
||
means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you
|
||
are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the
|
||
wxSTC flag accordingly.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the
|
||
column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by
|
||
using wxColumnSorterMixin.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper.</p>
|
||
<p>Added pySketch to the samples.</p>
|
||
<p>Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state
|
||
are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a
|
||
multi-processor machine.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log
|
||
messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFindReplaceDialog.</p>
|
||
<p>The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer,
|
||
wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods
|
||
that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally
|
||
created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still
|
||
exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the
|
||
original C++ pointer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList,
|
||
DrawPointList.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning
|
||
text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to
|
||
and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types
|
||
of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular
|
||
browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works,
|
||
if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the
|
||
wx-dev list.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxStopWatch.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType.</p>
|
||
<p>Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions
|
||
will now Disconnect the event.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFileHistory.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows
|
||
by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show
|
||
this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the
|
||
same document.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxEditableListBox gizmo.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam
|
||
Feuer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that
|
||
were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with
|
||
additional columns for each item. The classes are
|
||
wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow,
|
||
wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may
|
||
also be useful by themselves.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived
|
||
from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a
|
||
wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The
|
||
visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a
|
||
SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See
|
||
wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more
|
||
details.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id15">
|
||
<h1><a name="id15">2.3.1</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
|
||
code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
|
||
on a custom event handler for example.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
|
||
GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
|
||
subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.</p>
|
||
<p>Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.</p>
|
||
<p>Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="id16">
|
||
<h1><a name="id16">2.3.0</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
|
||
glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)</p>
|
||
<p>Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
|
||
wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
|
||
ctor and dtors.</p>
|
||
<p>Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.</p>
|
||
<p>Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
|
||
wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
|
||
colour database.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
|
||
wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
|
||
access from non-GUI threads.</p>
|
||
<p>wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
|
||
use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
|
||
that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.</p>
|
||
<p>Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
|
||
wxPython/lib from Lorne White.</p>
|
||
<p>Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
|
||
it gobs faster in certain situations.</p>
|
||
<p>Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
|
||
convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
|
||
converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
|
||
containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
|
||
included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
|
||
specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
|
||
compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
|
||
convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
|
||
wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
|
||
the implementation.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
|
||
experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
|
||
many refreshes.</p>
|
||
<p>A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
|
||
the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxToggleButton.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.</p>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>Added some methods to wxGrid:</dt>
|
||
<dd>GetCellHighlightPenWidth
|
||
GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
|
||
SetCellHighlightPenWidth
|
||
SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
|
||
GetGridWindow
|
||
GetGridRowLabelWindow
|
||
GetGridColLabelWindow
|
||
GetGridCornerLabelWindow</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
|
||
representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
|
||
On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.</p>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>OOR:</dt>
|
||
<dd><p class="first">Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
|
||
the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
|
||
nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
|
||
now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
|
||
"proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
|
||
FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
|
||
constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
|
||
as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
|
||
wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
|
||
original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
|
||
will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
|
||
use weak references.)</p>
|
||
<p class="last">This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
|
||
required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
|
||
be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
|
||
introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
|
||
stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
|
||
thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
|
||
object-type related oddities to me.</p>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
|
||
in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
|
||
specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
|
||
finally got done.</p>
|
||
<p>Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
|
||
list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWave.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
|
||
useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
|
||
make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
|
||
Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
|
||
of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
|
||
please send it to me for inclusion in this package.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started

|
||
<p>New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
|
||
that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
|
||
a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
|
||
it to a wxString using the default encoding.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
|
||
a matching prefix as keys are typed.</p>
|
||
<p>Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
|
||
column in report mode.</p>
|
||
<p>Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
|
||
bar after 2 seconds.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxJoystick.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
|
||
a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
|
||
object, (usually a window.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.</p>
|
||
<p>Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
|
||
multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
|
||
the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
|
||
the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
|
||
libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
|
||
wxPython/src/export.h</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
|
||
extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
|
||
utils. Will probably add more later.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
|
||
wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
|
||
wxPrinterDC2 name.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
|
||
that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
|
||
mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
|
||
integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
|
||
XML-RPC server.</p>

<h1><a name="new-in-2-2-2">New in 2.2.2</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
|
||
Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
|
||
from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
|
||
that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
|
||
releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
|
||
have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
|
||
interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
|
||
some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
|
||
how things work.</p>
|
||
<p>I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
|
||
of the distribution files. (See <a class="reference" href="http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/">http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/</a>)
|
||
This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
|
||
builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
|
||
use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
|
||
platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
|
||
wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
|
||
install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
|
||
using Python 2.0 then you already have it.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
|
||
contributed by Joerg Baumann.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
|
||
get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
|
||
get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
|
||
stdin.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed the old python sizers.</p>
|
||
<p>Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
|
||
and wxRealPoint.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
|
||
the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
|
||
libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of little fixes here and there.</p>
|
||
<p>Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
|
||
wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
|
||
wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.</p>

<p>WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
|
||
Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
|
||
handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
|
||
confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
|
||
coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
|
||
generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
|
||
the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
|
||
modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
OnChar
|
||
OnSize
|
||
OnEraseBackground
|
||
OnSysColourChanged

<p>Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
|
||
flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
|
||
GetSelections.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
|

.GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.</p>
|
||
<p>Plugged a memory leak.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
|
||
available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
|
||
new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
|
||
consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
|
||
good...)</p>
|
||
<p>Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
|
||
authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
|
||
mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.</p>
|
||
<p>Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
|
||
It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
|
||
in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
|
||
on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
|
||
needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
|
||
just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
|
||
method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
|
||
matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
|
||
them.</p>
|
||
<p>Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
|
||
expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
|
||
defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
|
||
"#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
|
||
wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
|
||
wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
|
||
but I've included a very readable source file in the
|
||
wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
|
||
can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
|
||
<a class="reference" href="http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html">http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html</a> to help fill in the gaps
|

|
||
provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)</p>

|
||
<p>Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
|
||
and some flicker problems.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
|
||
wxPython.lib.vtk module. (<a class="reference" href="http://www.kitware.com/">http://www.kitware.com/</a>)</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
|
||
"which" parameter.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.</p>
|
||
<p>Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
|
||
with wxWindow.GetParent.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
|
||
It is used like this:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)</blockquote>
|
||
<p>If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
|
||
rectangle representing the intersection is returned.</p>
|
||
<p>Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.</p>
|
||
<p>Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())</p>
|
||
<p>Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
|
||
window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
|
||
a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
|
||
to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
|
||
versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
|
||
create your own classes derived from wxControl.</p>
|
||
<p>The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
|
||
wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
|
||
but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
|
||
support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
|
||
methods look like this:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>def AddTool(ID,</dt>
|
||
<dd>bitmap,
|
||
pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
|
||
toggle = FALSE,
|
||
clientData = NULL,
|
||
shortHelpString = "",
|
||
longHelpString = "")</dd>
|
||
<dt>def AddSimpleTool(ID,</dt>
|
||
<dd>bitmap,
|
||
shortHelpString = "",
|
||
longHelpString = "",
|
||
toggle=FALSE)</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>There are also corresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
|
||
that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.</p>
|
||
<p>wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
|
||
is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
|
||
<a class="reference" href="http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL">http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some missing EVT functions.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
|
||
package.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.</p>
|
||
<p>More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
|
||
than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
|
||
style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)</p>

|
||
<p>Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
|
||
syncronized.</p>
|
||
<p>wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
|
||
wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
|
||
itself.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
|
||
being added. This should remove the need for our
|
||
wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.</p>
|
||
<p>wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
|
||
no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
|
||
probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
|
||
a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
|
||
an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.</p>
|
||
<p>Added new HTML printing classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWindow.GetHandle</p>
|
||
<p>Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
|
||
it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
|
||
(returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
|
||
wxPoint.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
|
||
processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
|
||
thread from other threads.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFontEnumerator.</p>
|

<p>Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.</p>
|

<p>wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual

Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.</p>
|

<p>Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.</p>
|
||
<p>Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
|
||
wxGTK...</p>
|
||
<p>Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.</p>

|

<p>This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that

major features.</p>

<h1><a name="what-s-new-in-2-1-4">What's new in 2.1.4</a></h1>
|
||
<p>This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
|
||
wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
|
||
binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
|
||
wxGTK from CVS. (See <a class="reference" href="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm">http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm</a>)
|
||
To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
|
||
the wxPy-2-1-4 tag.</p>
|
||
<p>Now back to what's new...</p>
|
||
<p>Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.</p>
|
||
<p>Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a <em>copy</em>
|
||
of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
|
||
anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
|
||
list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
|
||
memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
|
||
great!</p>
|
||
<p>Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
|
||
SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
|
||
default sort order.</p>
|
||
<p>Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
|
||
either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
|
||
example, the following are equivallent:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
|
||
win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
|
||
handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
|
||
is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
|
||
understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
|
||
pages. See the demo for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
|
||
wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
|
||
versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
|
||
warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
|
||
disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
|
||
the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
|
||
added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
|
||
smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
|
||
that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
|
||
not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
|
||
wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
|
||
portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
|
||
further details.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
|
||
wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
|
||
accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
|
||
directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
|
||
that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
|
||
Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
|
||
for more info and examples in future releases.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
|
||
from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
|
||
wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
|
||
all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
|
||
different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
|
||
columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
|
||
to use them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
|
||
that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
|
||
the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
|
||
method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
|
||
in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
|
||
of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
|
||
in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
|
||
there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
|
||
enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
|
||
be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
|
||
pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.</p>
|
||
<p>I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
|
||
years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
|
||
object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
|
||
value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
|
||
sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
|
||
them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
|
||
default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
|
||
creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
|
||
to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
|
||
back again the next time something is written. (You can call
|
||
app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
|
||
redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
|
||
object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
|
||
class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
|
||
RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
|
||
wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>class MyApp(wxApp):</dt>
|
||
<dd><p class="first">outputWindowClass = MyClass</p>
|
||
<dl class="last">
|
||
<dt>def OnInit(self):</dt>
|
||

<p>Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
|
||
wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
|
||
your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
|
||
to really screw things up.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
|
||
in the wxWindows docs...</p>
|
||
<p>Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
|
||
shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
|
||
shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
|
||
that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
|
||
frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
|
||
bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
|
||
a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
|
||
problems...)</p>

|
||
<p>This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see <a class="reference" href="http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html">http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html</a>)
|
||
for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
|
||
patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
|
||
old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
|
||
features:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ol class="arabic">
|
||
<li><p class="first">Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
|
||
parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
|
||
non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p class="first">There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
|
||
NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
|
||
now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
|
||
expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
|
||
raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
|
||
Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
|
||
see distrib/build.py for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
|
||
two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
|
||
takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
|
||
interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.</p>

|
||
<h1><a name="what-s-new-in-2-1b2">What's new in 2.1b2</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.</p>
|
||
<p>Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
|
||
provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
|
||
their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
|
||
It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
|
||
line 496 if you want to do it by hand.</p>
|
||
<p>It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
|
||
process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
|
||
prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
|
||
is being unloaded by Python.</p>
|
||
<p>I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
|
||
make wxPython look bad.</p>
|
||
<p>wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
|
||
wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.</p>
|
||
<p>You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
|
||
wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.</p>
|
||
<p>Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
|
||
code to show how to use it.</p>
|
||
<p>Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
|
||
matches MSW's.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGrid.GetCells</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
|
||
wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
|
||
wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.</p>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as</dt>
|
||
<dd>wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
|
||
objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
|
||
a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
|
||
data transfer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added access methods to wxGridEvent.</p>
|
||
<p>New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
|
||
for unix systems.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.</p>
|
||
<p>SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
|
||
in wx.cpp.</p>

|
||
<p>Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
|
||
item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
|
||
wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added the Printing Framework.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
|
||
version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
|
||
data after loading each extension module.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
|
||
wxWindows classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
|
||
symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
|
||
when doing any Py_DECREFs.</p>
|
||
<p>wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
|
||
of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
|
||
types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
|
||
not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!</p>

|

<p>Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a

<p>Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.</p>
|

<p>Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be

this feature off.</p>

<p>Added wxSafeYield function.</p>

<p>OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.</p>

<p>The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows

|

<p>Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,

wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.</p>

<p>Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
|
||
reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
|
||
wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
|
||
wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
|
||
with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
|
||
in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
|
||
have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
|
||
diverges from wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
|
||
window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
|
||
it should just work... More news on this later.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.</p>
|
||
<p>Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
|
||
wxRegConfig class.</p>
|
||
<p>As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.</p>

namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then

<p>wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
|
||
static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
|
||
<<a class="reference" href="mailto:H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl">H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl</a>> for his astute detective work on tracking
|
||
down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
|
||
DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
|
||
because the behavior was so different on different platforms.</p>
|
||
<p>The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
|
||
must have been a different issue all along...</p>

<p>1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
|
||
Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
|
||
linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
|
||
extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
|
||
And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
|
||
version segfault shortly after starting up.</p>
