5ec9d741 | 5 | INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x |
aae53500 VZ |
6 | ================================ |
7 | ||
b1f3b29c VZ |
8 | Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! |
9 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
10 | ||
466e87bd VZ |
11 | - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will |
12 | need to update your code if you access these files directly. | |
13 | ||
47a8a4d5 VZ |
14 | - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not |
15 | necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled() | |
16 | with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added. | |
17 | ||
5644933f VZ |
18 | - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and |
19 | other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn() | |
20 | instead. | |
21 | ||
89064717 VZ |
22 | - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items |
23 | according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the | |
24 | new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely | |
25 | on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal | |
26 | sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items | |
27 | proportions to return to the old behaviour. | |
28 | ||
b1f3b29c VZ |
29 | Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors |
30 | ----------------------------------------------------------- | |
31 | ||
c1dc9f83 VZ |
32 | - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if |
33 | you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4 | |
34 | ||
c9f78968 VS |
35 | - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no |
36 | longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem | |
37 | in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break | |
38 | code that depends on the result being wxChar. | |
39 | ||
ef0f1387 VS |
40 | - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char* |
41 | or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods | |
42 | char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str() | |
43 | (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are | |
44 | available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well. | |
45 | ||
c9f78968 VS |
46 | - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be |
47 | used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like | |
48 | this won't compile: | |
49 | switch (str[i]) { ... } | |
50 | and has to be replaced with this: | |
51 | switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... } | |
52 | ||
53 | - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not | |
54 | const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and | |
55 | const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot | |
56 | convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers | |
57 | don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with | |
58 | compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting | |
59 | to const wxChar*: | |
60 | wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "") | |
61 | ||
52de37c7 | 62 | - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode |
5bce3e6f | 63 | build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*. |
52de37c7 | 64 | |
c9f78968 VS |
65 | - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using |
66 | wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type | |
67 | conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this: | |
68 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p ) | |
69 | This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool: | |
70 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p ) | |
71 | ||
5bce3e6f VS |
72 | - virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now. |
73 | ||
ab29bb87 | 74 | - Funtions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8. |
d38f70b2 | 75 | are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString |
ab29bb87 | 76 | must be used instead. |
d38f70b2 | 77 | |
5ec9d741 VZ |
78 | Deprecated methods and their replacements |
79 | ----------------------------------------- | |
80 | ||
13dd765c | 81 | - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead. |
7890307b VS |
82 | - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer |
83 | or wxStringBufferLength instead. | |
d0bc78e2 VZ |
84 | - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if |
85 | specified so this style should simply be removed | |
724b119a VZ |
86 | - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and |
87 | wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler | |
88 | to use | |
d0bc78e2 | 89 | |
