wxWindows 2 Change Log

----------------------
|
||
|
||
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
|
||
================================
|
||
|
||
Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
|
||
paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
|
||
with '!' in the first column.
|
||
|
||
Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
|
||
is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
|
||
series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
|
||
your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
|
||
2.6 release.
|
||
|
||
|
||
wxBase:
|
||
|
||
! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
|
||
under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
|
||
code.
|
||
|
||
! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
|
||
architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
|
||
used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
|
||
arrays containing non-pointers.
|
||
|
||
- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
|
||
simply don't make sense for all objects
|
||
|
||
- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
|
||
by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
|
||
add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
|
||
|
||
- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
|
||
|
||
- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
|
||
from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
|
||
could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
|
||
a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
|
||
is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
|
||
|
||
- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
|
||
must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
|
||
the default assert handling.
|
||
|
||
|
||
All (GUI):
|
||
|
||
! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
|
||
allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
|
||
in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
|
||
|
||
You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
|
||
but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
|
||
instead!
|
||
|
||
! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
|
||
your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
|
||
the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
|
||
|
||
! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
|
||
generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
|
||
you want to get OnChar() as well
|
||
|
||
- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
|
||
have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
|
||
ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
|
||
will *NOT* work any longer:
|
||
|
||
if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
|
||
... do something ...
|
||
if ( flags & wxYES )
|
||
... do something else ...
|
||
|
||
- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
|
||
|
||
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
|
||
if you derived any classes from it
|
||
|
||
- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
|
||
unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
|
||
|
||
- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
|
||
now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
|
||
|
||
- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
|
||
they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
|
||
|
||
- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
|
||
parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
|
||
from happening
|
||
|
||
- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
|
||
for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
|
||
and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
|
||
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
|
||
but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
|
||
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
|
||
the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
|
||
xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
|
||
class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
|
||
make/project files.
|
||
|
||
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
|
||
style to avoid it
|
||
|
||
- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
|
||
previously selected one instead of replacing it
|
||
|
||
- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
|
||
return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
|
||
never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
|
||
|
||
- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
|
||
anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
|
||
|
||
|
||
Unix ports:
|
||
|
||
! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
|
||
`wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
|
||
and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
|
||
to compile pure C files.
|
||
|
||
|
||
wxThread and related classes:
|
||
|
||
- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
|
||
as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
|
||
semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
|
||
wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
|
||
|
||
! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
|
||
documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
|
||
unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
|
||
(i.e. absense of race conditions) using the old API.
|
||
|
||
- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
|
||
recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
|
||
documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
|
||
|
||
- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
|
||
this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
|
||
|
||

- Fixed dialog focus bug (crash if the previous window to have
|
||
the focus was destroyed before the dialog closed)
|
||
- Too-small default wxTextCtrl height fixed
|
||
- fixed "missing" initial resize of wxMDIChildFrame
|
||
- wxFrame restores focus better
|
||
- Now ignore wxTHICK_FRAME in wxWindow constructor: only relevant to
|
||
frames and dialogs, interferes with other window styles otherwise
|
||
(sometimes you'd get a thick frame in a subwindow)
|
||
- wxTextCtrl insertion point set to the beginning of the control by SetValue
|
||
- Fix so wxMDIParentFrame is actually shown when Show(TRUE) is called.
|
||

|
||
sizes can be different on different versions of Windows)
|
||
- wxImageList::GetSize() documented and added to wxMSW
|
||
- fixed default dialog style to make them non resizeable again
|
||
- fixed wxFrame::IsShown() which always returned TRUE before

|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxGTK:
|
||
|

|
||
- Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
|
||
- Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
|
||
syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
|
||
- Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
|
||
crashes for some reason).
|
||
- Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
|
||
of malloc, which causes memory problems).
|
||
|
||
General:
|
||
|
||
- Further doc improvements.
|
||
- wxGenericValidator added.
|
||
- Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers

|
||
General:
|
||
|
||
- Rearranged documentation a bit.
|
||
- Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
|
||
the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
|
||
or below).
|
||
- Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
|
||
- Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
|
||
sample.
|
||
- Added bombs and fractal samples.
|
||
|
||
Beta 1, December 24th 1998
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxGTK:
|
||
|
||
- Various
|
||
|
||
wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
|
||
- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
|
||
wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
|
||
a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
|
||
Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
|
||
on a tab.
|
||
- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
|
||
- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
|
||
of Stefan Csomor.
|
||
|
||
wxMotif:
|
||
|
||
- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
|
||
without (permanently) resizing the window.
|
||
- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
|
||
that disabled scrollbar paging.
|
||
- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
|
||
colours correctly.
|
||
- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
|
||
when any button was pressed.
|
||
- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
|
||
have a white background.
|
||
- Fixed dialog colour setting.
|
||
- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
|
||
they have sensible colours by default.
|
||
- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
|
||
- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
|
||
- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
|
||
- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
|
||
- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- More documentation updates, especially for
|
||
wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
|
||
- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
|
||
of wxTrace.
|
||
- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
|
||
However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
|
||
VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
|
||
position.
|
||
- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
|
||
|
||
wxMotif:
|
||
|
||
- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
|
||
were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
|
||
child frames).
|
||
- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
|
||
- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
|
||
to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
|
||
- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
|
||
by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
|
||
the debugging implementation.
|
||
- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
|
||
global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
|
||
WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
|
||
- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
|
||
- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
|
||
- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
|
||
It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
|
||
|
||
It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
|
||
|
||
- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
|
||
- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
|
||
- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
|
||
- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
|
||
- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
|
||
- wxNotebook almost done.
|
||
- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
|
||
to vertical toolbars).
|
||
|
||
More recently:
|
||
|
||
- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
|
||
to scrollbars).
|
||
- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
|
||
tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
|
||
- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,

||
converted to DC depth if they don't match.
|
||
- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
|
||
- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
|
||
- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
|
||
so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
|
||
wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
|
||
area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
|
||
wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
|
||
- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
|
||
- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
|
||
- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
|
||
changes, wxNotebook.
|
||
- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
|
||
altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
|
||
Windows functions, for efficiency.
|
||
- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
|
||
- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
|
||
don't support it.
|
||
- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
|
||
- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
|
||
have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
|
||
- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
|
||
wxMenuBar.
|
||
- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
|
||
SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
|
||
wxMenuItem accessors.
|
||
- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
|
||
wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
|
||
- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
|
||
- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
|
||
- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
|
||
- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
|
||
- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
|
||
then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
|
||
the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
|
||
to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
|
||
being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
|
||
first, then doing the assignment.
|
||
- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
|
||
- Various other bug fixes and additions.
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||

|
||
- Expanded documentation a bit more.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
|
||
and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
|
||
icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
|
||
- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
|
||
- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
|
||
require application-supplied positioning code though.
|
||
- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
|
||
for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
|
||
change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
|
||
fields were used.
|
||
- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
|
||
compilation and pragmas.
|
||
- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
|
||
commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||
- Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
|
||
- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
|
||
compilation and pragmas.
|
||
- Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
|
||
- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
|
||
some reason :-(
|
||
- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
|
||
- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
|
||
- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
|
||
of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
|
||
startup/exit.
|
||
- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
|
||
makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
|
||
- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
|
||
VADIM'S CHANGES:

||
- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
|
||
compatibility functions.
|

|
||
- defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
|
||
- statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
|
||
- registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
|
||

|
||
|
||
Generic:

|
||
- Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
|
||
- Added samples/png.
|
||
- IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
|
||
Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
|
||
header files.
|
||
- Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Added tab classes, tab sample.
|
||
- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
|
||
cleaned up properly before exit.
|
||
- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
|
||
automatically.
|
||
- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
|
||
- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
|
||
memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
|
||
unresolved issues.
|
||
- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
|
||
to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
|
||
tray area.
|
||
- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
|
||
application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
|
||
- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
|
||
- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||
- Added tab classes, tab sample.
|
||
- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
|
||
new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
|
||
now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
|
||
See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
|
||
- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
|
||
a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
|
||
wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
|
||
allow better control of memory.
|
||
- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
|
||
checking.
|
||
- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
|
||
float to long in wxToolBar files.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
|
||
- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
|
||
- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
|
||
check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
|
||
exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
|
||
m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
|
||
don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
|
||
- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
|
||
- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
|
||
added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
|
||
wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
|
||
Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
|
||
IUnknown.
|
||
Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
|
||
- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
|
||
Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
|
||
- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
|
||
- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
|
||
Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
|
||
- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
|
||
can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
|
||
internal implementation.
|
||
- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
|
||
in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
|
||
binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||
- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
|
||
- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
|
||
- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
|
||
owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
|
||
(see docs/msw/changes.txt).
|
||
|
||
Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
wxMSW:
|
||
|
||
- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
|
||
DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
|
||
the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
|
||
changes.
|
||
- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
|
||
resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
|
||
advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
|
||
- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
|
||
again.
|
||
- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
|
||
- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
|
||
e.g. wxDC.
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||
- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
|
||
DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
|
||
the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
|
||
changes.
|
||
- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
|
||
platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
|
||
docs/gtk.
|
||
- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
|
||
created dynamically, not as a global object.
|
||
- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
|
||
- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
|
||
consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
|
||
changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
|
||
- Added gcc pragmas.
|
||
- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
|
||
- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
|
||
- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
|
||
added a few references to wxTransString.
|
||
- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
|
||
to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
|
||
- samples/internat now works (minimally).
|
||
- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
|
||
wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
|
||
- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
|
||
- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
|
||
- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
|
||
will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
|
||
MoreRequested.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
All:
|
||
|
||
- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
|
||
integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
|
||
- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
|
||
- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
|
||
an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
|
||
origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
|
||
- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
|
||
function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
|
||
OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
|
||
When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
|
||
- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
|
||
scrolling toolbars.
|
||
- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
|
||
to help printing with multiple pages.
|
||
- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
|
||
define the API used by different implementations. DDE
|
||
implementation updated to use these base classes.
|
||
- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
|
||
for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
|
||
WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
|
||
TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
|
||
wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
|
||
- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
|
||
internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
|
||
New files from Vadim:
|
||
include\wx\string.h
|
||
include\wx\debug.h
|
||
include\wx\file.h
|
||
include\wx\log.h
|
||
include\wx\intl.h
|
||
src\common\string.cpp
|
||
src\common\log.cpp
|
||
src\common\intl.cpp
|
||
src\common\file.cpp
|
||
No longer use GNU wxString files.
|
||
- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
|
||
src\common\filefn.cpp.
|
||
- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
|
||
samples, using makefile.b32 files.
|
||
- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
|
||
including changes to defs.h.
|
||
- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
|
||
introduced.
|
||
- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
|
||
hidden).
|
||
- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
|
||
cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
|
||
trick).
|
||
- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 3, September 1997
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
All:
|
||
|
||
- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
|
||
- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
|
||
- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
|
||
- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
|
||
- Started documentation.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
All:
|
||
|
||
- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
|
||
with MetroWerks compiler.
|
||
- Added ids to .wxr file format.
|
||
- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
|
||
to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
|
||
Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
|
||
for testing purposes.
|
||
- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
|
||
handlers.
|
||
- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
|
||
- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
|
||
fully).
|
||
- Added back wxRadioBox.
|
||
- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
|
||
a separate file.
|
||
|
||
Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
Generic:
|
||
|
||
At this point, the following has been achieved:
|
||
|
||
- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
|
||
naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
|
||
wxString instead of char *.
|
||
- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
|
||
old system event system) and code size reduced.
|
||
- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
|
||
as wxbWindow now removed.
|
||
- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
|
||
Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
|
||
- PrologIO revised.
|
||
- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
|
||
MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
|
||
- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
|
||
Windows settings.
|
||
- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
|
||
settings mucho rationalised.
|
||
- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
|
||
event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
|
||
classes removed.
|
||
- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
|
||
wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
|
||
- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
|
||
- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
|
||
wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
|
||
made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
|
||
of event handlers.
|
||
- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
|
||
- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
|
||
wxToolBarBase
|
||
wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
|
||
wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
|
||
wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
|
||
- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
|
||
- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
|
||
have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
|
||
rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
|
||
- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
|
||
an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
|
||
will be replaced by something better and more efficient
|
||
in the future.
|
||
- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
|
||
with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
|
||
variables instead.
|
||
- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
|
||
determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
|
||
introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
|
||
- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
|
||
any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
|
||
- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
|
||
Win95.
|
||
- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
|
||
classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
|
||
the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
|
||
- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
|
||
in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
|
||
- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
|
||
|
||
|
