5ec9d741 5INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
aae53500
VZ
6================================
7
500b128d
VZ
8
9 Notice that these changes are described in more details in
10 the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
11 please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.

e6d4038a
VZ
14Unicode-related changes
15-----------------------
16
17The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
18old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
19in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
20changes:
21
22- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
3dac8f8a
VS
23 either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
24 the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
e0e7a341
VS
25 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
26 backwards compatible except:
4baf7800
VZ
27
28 a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
29 "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
30 base class version.
31
32 b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
33 wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
0d5ab92f
VZ
34 should be replaced with an empty string.
35
b7aadf25
VZ
36- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
37 return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
38 *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
39 the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
40 you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
41 explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
c398434d
VZ
42 A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
43 with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
44 indicate the parsing success.
0d5ab92f
VZ
45
46- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
47 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
48 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
9204fde6
VZ
49 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). If you want your
50 code to remain compatible with Unicode build of previous wx version, please
51 use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
e6d4038a 52
50c549b9
VZ
53- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
54 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
55 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
56 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
57 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
f01a77c7
VZ
58 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
59 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.

62wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
63------------------------------------
1e6b2edf
VZ
64
65wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
66supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
67source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
68
6f67af05
FM
69Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
70were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
71The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
72wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
3f0e574a 73open for further development by volunteers.
6f67af05
FM
74
75The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
76"official" library stc and in the core lib.

79Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
80---------------------------------------------------------------------------
81
466e87bd
VZ
82- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
83 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
84
47a8a4d5
VZ
85- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
86 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
87 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
88
5644933f
VZ
89- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
90 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
91 instead.
92
89064717
VZ
93- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
94 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
95 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
96 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
97 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
98 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
99
5414d62e
VZ
100- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
101 ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
102 the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
103 request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
104 positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
105 deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
106 to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
107 the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
108
17808a75 109- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
47d9ca16 110 your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
17808a75 111
628e155d
VZ
112- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
113 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
114 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
115 you need the extra features.
116
9c8116f8
VZ
117- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
118 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
119 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
120 derived classes to use const reference as well.
121
a6eac99d
VZ
122- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
123 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
17808a75 124
c6e4d276
VZ
125- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
126
1d7b600d
VZ
127- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
128 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
129 more details.
130
0e1e143d
FM
131- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
132 Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
133 or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
134 See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
135
f2a18fbe
VZ
136- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
137
9c61c5b0
VZ
138- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
139 changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
140 manual for more details.
141
febebac1 142- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
bc73d5ae 143 Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
febebac1
VZ
144 single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
145
bc73d5ae
VZ
146- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
147 instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
148 class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
149 documentation of wxLog for more information.
150
7e6edd27
VZ
151- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
152 easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
153 will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
154 overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
4a00e77c
VZ
155 new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
156 applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
7e6edd27 157
1a2df6a7
VZ
158- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
159 and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
160 most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
161 space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
57cc93eb 162
b37e592b 163- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
1a2df6a7 164
57cc93eb
VS
165- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
166 to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
167 indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
168 accordingly, to 2.
169
3acf8a8d
VS
170- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
171 regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
172 legacy ANSI builds.
173
426ebc99
VZ
174- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
175 wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
176 The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
177 from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
178 querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
179
6eefca4f
VZ
180- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
181 instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
182 requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
1244d2e0
VZ
183 flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
184 wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
185 currently running instances of this object are available.
6eefca4f 186
548fa9c1
VS
187- Signatures of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate(), LeftClick() and
188 StartDrag() virtual methods changed. You will need to change them in your
189 derived renderer class too if you override them.
190
b95a7c31
VZ
191- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
192 waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
193 with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
194 default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
195 release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
196 on this behaviour.
197
5c16a699
VZ
198- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
199 prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
200 handling of the window that captured the mouse.

203Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
204-----------------------------------------------------------
205
c1dc9f83
VZ
206- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
207 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
208
ddc0ac4a
VZ
209- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
210 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
211 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
212
8cc208e3 213- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
bca627de
FM
214 has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
215 GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
216 New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
3b7fa206 217
c9f78968
VS
218- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
219 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
220 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
221 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
222
ef0f1387
VS
223- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
224 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
225 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
226 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
227 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
228
c9f78968
VS
229- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
230 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
231 this won't compile:
232 switch (str[i]) { ... }
233 and has to be replaced with this:
234 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
235
73ba5ab9
VZ
236- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
237 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
238 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
239 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
a6eac99d 240
73ba5ab9
VZ
241 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
242 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
243 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
244 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
245 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
246
247 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
248 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
249 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
250 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
251
252 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
253 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
254 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
255 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
c9f78968 256
52de37c7 257- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
5bce3e6f 258 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
52de37c7 259
c9f78968
VS
260- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
261 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
262 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
263 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
264 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
265 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
266
d03dab2a 267- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
5bce3e6f 268
4c51a665 269- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
d38f70b2 270 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
ab29bb87 271 must be used instead.
d38f70b2 272
de34bb08
VZ
273- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
274 with void pointers.
275
d03dab2a
VS
276- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
277
6a4cbac1
VS
278- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
279 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
17808a75 280
c8058a09
JS
281- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
282 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
283 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
6a4cbac1 284
1a8a13ee 285- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
08f1c27c 286 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
1a8a13ee 287 necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
08f1c27c
VZ
288 next/previous control sibling instead.
289
500b128d
VZ
290- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
291 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
292 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
d03dab2a 293
e98e625c
VZ
294- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
295 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
296 wxBitmapType in your code.
297
763163a8
VZ
298- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
299 functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
300 of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
301 written now.
302
303- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
304 be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
305
6e2f3084 306- wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
b18e2046 307 its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
6e2f3084
VZ
308 to it under 64 bit platforms too).
309
8cc208e3
VZ
310- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
311 You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
312 locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
313
2352862a
VZ
314- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
315 references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
316 now results in compile-time error.
317
34a083c9
VZ
318- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
319 an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
320 longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
321 without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
322 add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
323
4c51a665 324- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
0f08aa44
VZ
325 require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
326 presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
327 use Find() instead.
328
65154866
VZ
329- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
330 change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
331 just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
332 concatenate with it.
333
3da9cffc
VZ
334- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
335
763163a8 336
5ec9d741
VZ
337Deprecated methods and their replacements
338-----------------------------------------
339
13dd765c 340- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
7890307b
VS
341- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
342 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
d0bc78e2
VZ
343- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
344 specified so this style should simply be removed
724b119a
VZ
345- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
346 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
347 to use
288b6107
VS
348- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
349 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
350 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
022a8a5a
VZ
351- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
352 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
8cc208e3
VZ
353- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
354 named new versions:
355 . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
356 . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
357 . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
358 . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
359- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
360 ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
361 plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
362 and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
e557577d
VZ
363- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
364 don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
628e155d
VZ
365- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
366- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
367 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
368- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
fdaad94e
VZ
369 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
370 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
371- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
372 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
373 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
374 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
375 code.
053ac76f 376- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
8cc208e3
VZ
377- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
378 name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
bca627de
FM
379- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
380 wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
381 were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
8cc208e3
VZ
382- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
383 documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
e5cfb314
VZ
384- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
385 the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
39cdc95f
FM

2589 sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
2590 will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
2591 window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
2592 size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
2593 windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
2594 min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
2595 are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.

2981INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
2982================================
2983
0b74b736
VZ
2984 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
2985 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
2986 with '!' in the first column.
2987
b6421719
VZ
2988 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
2989 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
2990 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
2991 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
2992 2.6 release.
2993
f33f16ec 2994 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
fc2171bd 2995 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
f33f16ec
VZ
2996 (see the documentation) useful.
2997
b6421719 2998
461f203c
VZ
2999wxBase:
3000
0b74b736 3001! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
461f203c
VZ
3002 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
3003 code.
3004
0b74b736 3005! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
0eeeb25f
VZ
3006 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
3007 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
3008 arrays containing non-pointers.
3009
19924e90
VZ
3010- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
3011 simply don't make sense for all objects
3012
3013- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
3014 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
3015 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
3016
677eff07
VZ
3017- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
3018
a2d541ca
VZ
3019- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
3020 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
3021 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
3022 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
3023 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
6a9c3625 3024
aad65f13
VZ
3025- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
3026 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
3027 the default assert handling.
3028
d73e6791
VZ
3029All (GUI):
3030
0b74b736 3031! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
eead3ccb
VZ
3032 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
3033 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
3034
3035 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
2edb0bde 3036 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
eead3ccb
VZ
3037 instead!
3038
0b74b736 3039! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
01a63363 3040 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
2edb0bde 3041 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
01a63363 3042
0b74b736
VZ
3043! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
3044 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
3045 you want to get OnChar() as well
3046
cdb10551
VZ
3047- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
3048 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
3049 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
3050
a8141d3f
VZ
3051- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
3052 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
3053 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
3054 will *NOT* work any longer:
3055
3056 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
3057 ... do something ...
3058 if ( flags & wxYES )
3059 ... do something else ...
3060
750cefbc
VZ
3061- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
3062 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
3063 the ctor
3064
a8141d3f
VZ
3065- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
3066
3067- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
3068 if you derived any classes from it
3069
a69be60b 3070- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
d7af2fea
VS
3071 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
3072
cf72f75f
VZ
3073- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
3074 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
3075
1a65fc65
VZ
3076- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
3077 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
3078
6a9c3625
VZ
3079- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
3080 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
3081 from happening
3082
b6421719
VZ
3083- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
3084 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
3085 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
3086
ef357cda
MB
3087- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
3088 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
3089 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
3090 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
6a9c3625 3091
461f203c
VZ
3092wxMSW:
3093
0b74b736 3094! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
a12df582 3095 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
461f203c 3096 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
b239ffb9
VS
3097 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
3098 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
a69be60b
VZ
3099 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
3100 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
a12df582 3101 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
a69be60b
VZ
3102 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
3103 is only present for the DLLs builds.
461f203c 3104
bbed9595 3105- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
9dfef5ac 3106 style to avoid it
bbed9595 3107
5230934a
VZ
3108- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
3109 previously selected one instead of replacing it
3110
05a6a882
VZ
3111- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
3112 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
3113 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
0b74b736 3114
763f5546
VS
3115- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
3116 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
05a6a882 3117
6a9c3625 3118
f6656ccb
VZ
3119Unix ports:
3120
0b74b736 3121! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
f6656ccb
VZ
3122 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
3123 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
3124 to compile pure C files.
3125
188b6ff7 3126
0b74b736
VZ
3127wxThread and related classes:
3128
3129- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
3130 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
3131 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
3132 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
3133
3134! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
3135 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
3136 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
dbd94b75 3137 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
0b74b736
VZ
3138
3139- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
3140 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
3141 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
3142
3143- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
3144 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.

3904 or below).

3922
3923wxMSW:
3924
3925- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
3926- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
3927 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
3928 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
3929 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
3930 on a tab.
3931- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
3932- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
3933 of Stefan Csomor.
3934
3935wxMotif:
3936
3937- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
3938 without (permanently) resizing the window.
3939- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
3940 that disabled scrollbar paging.
3941- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
3942 colours correctly.
3943- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
3944 when any button was pressed.
3945- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
3946 have a white background.
3947- Fixed dialog colour setting.
3948- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
3949 they have sensible colours by default.

3960
3961- More documentation updates, especially for
3962 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
3963- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
3964 of wxTrace.
3965- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
3966 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
3967 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
3968 position.
3969- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
3970
3971wxMotif:
3972
3973- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
3974 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
3975 child frames).
3976- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
3977- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
3978 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
3979- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
3980 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
3981 the debugging implementation.
3982- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
3983 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
3984 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
3985- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
2edb0bde 3986- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
e3a43801
JS
3987- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
3988 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
3989
3990It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
3991
3992- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
3993- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
3994- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
3995- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
3996- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
3997- wxNotebook almost done.
3998- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
3999 to vertical toolbars).
4000
4001More recently:
4002
4003- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
4004 to scrollbars).
4005- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
4006 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
4007- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.

4038 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
4039- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
4040- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
4041- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
2edb0bde 4042 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.

4051 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
4052 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
4053- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
4054- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.

4061
4062wxMSW:
4063
4064- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
4065 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
4066 Windows functions, for efficiency.
4067- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
4068- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
4069 don't support it.
4070- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
4071- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.

4089- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
4090 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
4091 wxMenuItem accessors.
4092- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
4093 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
4094- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
4095- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
4096- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
4097- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
4098- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
4099 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
4100 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
4101 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
4102 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
4103 first, then doing the assignment.
4104- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95

4118 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
4119 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
4120- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
4121- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
4122 require application-supplied positioning code though.
4123- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
4124 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
4125 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.

4210 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
4211- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
4212 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
4213 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
4214 allow better control of memory.
4215- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
4216 checking.
4217- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
4218 float to long in wxToolBar files.

4224
4225- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
4226- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
4227- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
4228 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
4229 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
4230 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
4231 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
4232- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
4233- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
4234 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
4235 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
4236 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
4237 IUnknown.
4238 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
4239- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
4240 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
4241- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
4242- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
4243 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
4244- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
4245 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
4246 internal implementation.
4247- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
4248 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
4249 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.

4253- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.

4256 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
4257 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).

4264- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
4265 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
4266 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
4267 changes.
4268- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
4269 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
4270 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
4271- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
4272 again.
4273- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
4274- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
4275 e.g. wxDC.

4283- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
4284 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
4285 docs/gtk.
4286- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
4287 created dynamically, not as a global object.
4288- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
4289- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
4290 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
4291 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
4292- Added gcc pragmas.
4293- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
4294- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
4295- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
4296 added a few references to wxTransString.
4297- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
4298 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
4299- samples/internat now works (minimally).
4300- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
4301 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
4302- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
2edb0bde 4303- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).

4304- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
4305 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
4306 MoreRequested.

4313- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
4314 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
4315- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
4316- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
4317 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
4318 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
4319- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
4320 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
4321 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
4322 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
4323- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
4324 scrolling toolbars.
4325- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
4326 to help printing with multiple pages.
4327- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
4328 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
4329 implementation updated to use these base classes.
4330- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
4331 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2edb0bde 4332 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
c801d85f
KB
4333 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
4334 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
4335- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
4336 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
4337 New files from Vadim:
4338 include\wx\string.h
4339 include\wx\debug.h
4340 include\wx\file.h
4341 include\wx\log.h
4342 include\wx\intl.h
4343 src\common\string.cpp
4344 src\common\log.cpp
4345 src\common\intl.cpp
4346 src\common\file.cpp
4347 No longer use GNU wxString files.
4348- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
4349 src\common\filefn.cpp.
4350- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
4351 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
4352- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
4353 including changes to defs.h.
4354- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
4355 introduced.
4356- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
4357 hidden).
4358- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
4359 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
4360 trick).
4361- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.

4380 with MetroWerks compiler.
4381- Added ids to .wxr file format.
4382- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
4383 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
4384 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
4385 for testing purposes.
4386- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
4387 handlers.
4388- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
4389- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
4390 fully).
4391- Added back wxRadioBox.
4392- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
4393 a separate file.

4400At this point, the following has been achieved:
4401
4402- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
4403 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
4404 wxString instead of char *.
4405- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
4406 old system event system) and code size reduced.
4407- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
4408 as wxbWindow now removed.
4409- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
4410 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
4411- PrologIO revised.
4412- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2edb0bde 4413 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
c801d85f
KB
4414- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
4415 Windows settings.
4416- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
4417 settings mucho rationalised.
4418- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
4419 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
4420 classes removed.
4421- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
4422 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
4423- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
4424- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
4425 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
4426 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
4427 of event handlers.
4428- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
4429- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
4430 wxToolBarBase
4431 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
dbd94b75 4432 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
c801d85f
KB
4433 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
4434- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
4435- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
4436 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
4437 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
4438- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
4439 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
4440 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
4441 in the future.
4442- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
4443 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
4444 variables instead.
4445- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
4446 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
4447 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
4448- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
4449 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
4450- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
4451 Win95.
4452- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
4453 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
4454 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
4455- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
4456 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
4457- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
