documented how to handle C++ exceptions in wxWindows

[wxWidgets.git] / docs / toback24.txt

1. wxFrame support in wxrcedit

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=648659&group_id=9863&atid=309863

[Is this worth applying if wxrcedit is not supported? - VS]

2. "Remove" wxFont::GetInternalFont from wxGTK w/ GTK2

CVS: [RR] wxWindows/src/gtk dcclient.cpp,1.162,1.163 font.cpp,1.69,1.70 window.cpp,1.411,1.412
CVS: [RR] wxWindows/src/gtk choice.cpp,1.55,1.56 combobox.cpp,1.87,1.88
CVS: [RR] wxWindows/src/gtk minifram.cpp,1.29,1.30
   (not sure about minifram.cpp: must be checked for binary compatibility - VS)

When applying, be careful to not pick later revision of font.cpp -- 2.5 doesn't
have wxFont::GetInternalFont while 2.4 must have it because of binary
compatibility!

23. Add Raise() to wxDialog and have wxBringWindowToTop only
call SetWindowPos, so that raising child windows does not
automatically raise the associated top-level window. For
binary compatibility, can do a test for top-level-ness in
wxBringWindowToTop.

See: Bug [ 744199 ] wxBringWindowToTop, child window z-order

27. Fix redistribution of the extra space between sizer items: all extra space
used to be allocated to the first item which is wrong, it should be divided
evenly among all of them.

Checking in sizer.cpp;
/pack/cvsroots/wxwindows/wxWindows/src/common/sizer.cpp,v  <--  sizer.cpp

===========================================

2. Test Mac port with configure and CW.

3. Test popup window and border issues.
