5ec9d741 5INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x

6================================

b1f3b29c
VZ
8Changes 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.

29Changes 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

78Deprecated 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
