121- Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
122- Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
123- Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
124 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
125- Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
126 crashes for some reason).
127- Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
128 of malloc, which causes memory problems).

171
172wxGTK:
173
174wxMSW:
175
176- 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
177
178wxMotif:
179
180- Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
181 the right place.
182- Cured some widget table clashes.
183- Added thread support (Robert).
184- wxPoem sample now works.
185
186General:
187
188- Rearranged documentation a bit.
189- Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
190 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
191 or below).
192- Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
193- Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
194 sample.
195- Added bombs and fractal samples.
196

JS
207Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
208----------------------------
209
210wxMSW:
211
212- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
213- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
214 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
215 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
216 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
217 on a tab.
218- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
219- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
220 of Stefan Csomor.
221
222wxMotif:
223
224- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
225 without (permanently) resizing the window.
226- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
227 that disabled scrollbar paging.
228- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
229 colours correctly.
230- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
231 when any button was pressed.
232- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
233 have a white background.
234- Fixed dialog colour setting.
235- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
236 they have sensible colours by default.
237- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
238- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
239- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
240- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
241- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
242
243Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
244----------------------------
245
246wxMSW:
247
248- More documentation updates, especially for
249 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
250- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
251 of wxTrace.
252- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
253 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
254 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
255 position.
256- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
257
258wxMotif:
259
260- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
261 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
262 child frames).
263- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
264- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
265 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
266- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
267 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
268 the debugging implementation.
269- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
270 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
271 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
272- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
273- Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
274- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
275 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
276
277It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
278
279- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
280- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
281- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
282- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
283- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
284- wxNotebook almost done.
285- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
286 to vertical toolbars).
287
288More recently:
289
290- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
291 to scrollbars).
292- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
293 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
294- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
295
296Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
297----------------------------
298
299wxMSW:
300

304- A few more makefiles added.
305- GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
306- Further doc updates.
307- wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
308
309wxMotif:
310
311- First start at Motif port.
312- Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
313- First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
314 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
315 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
316
317Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
318--------------------------
319
320wxMSW:
321
322- wxBitmap debugged.
323- wxDC::GetDepth added.
324- Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
325 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
326- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
327- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
328- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
329 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
330
331Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
332------------------------
333
334wxMSW:
335
336- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
337 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
338 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
339 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
340- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
341- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
342- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
343 changes, wxNotebook.
344- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
345
346Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
347-----------------------
348
349wxMSW:
350
351- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
352 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
353 Windows functions, for efficiency.
354- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
355- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
356 don't support it.
357- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
358- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
359
360Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
361-----------------------
362
363wxMSW:
c801d85f 364
e3a43801
JS
365- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
366 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
c801d85f 367
884360bc
JS
368Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
369-----------------------
370
e3a43801
JS
371wxMSW:
372
373- Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
374- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
375 wxMenuBar.
376- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
377 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
378 wxMenuItem accessors.
379- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
380 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
381- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
382- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
383- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
384- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
385- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
386 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
387 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
388 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
389 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
390 first, then doing the assignment.
391- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
392- Various other bug fixes and additions.
393
394Generic:
395
884360bc

JS
399Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
400----------------------
401
402wxMSW:
403
404- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
405 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
406 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
407- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
408- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
409 require application-supplied positioning code though.
410- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
411 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
412 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.

JS
417wxMSW:
418
419- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
420 fields were used.
421- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
422 compilation and pragmas.
423- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
424 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.

JS
436wxMSW:
437
438- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
439- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
440 some reason :-(
441- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
442- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
443- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
444 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
445 startup/exit.
446- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
447 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
448- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
449VADIM'S CHANGES:
450- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
451 compatibility functions.
452- Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.

e3a43801
JS
472wxMSW:
473
474- Added tab classes, tab sample.
475- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
476 cleaned up properly before exit.
477- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
478 automatically.
479- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
480- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
481 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
482 unresolved issues.
483- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
484 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
485 tray area.
486- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
487 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
488- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
489- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.

493- Added tab classes, tab sample.
494- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
495 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
496 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
497 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
498- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
499 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
500 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
501 allow better control of memory.
502- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
503 checking.
504- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
505 float to long in wxToolBar files.

JS
510wxMSW:
511
512- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
513- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
514- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
515 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
516 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
517 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
518 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
519- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
520- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
521 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
522 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
523 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
524 IUnknown.
525 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
526- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
527 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
528- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
529- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
530 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
531- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
532 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
533 internal implementation.
534- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
535 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
536 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
537

c801d85f
KB
540- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
541- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
542- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
543 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
544 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).

551- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
552 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
553 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
554 changes.
555- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
556 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
557 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
558- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
559 again.
560- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
561- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
562 e.g. wxDC.

566- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
567 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
568 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
569 changes.
570- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
571 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
572 docs/gtk.
573- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
574 created dynamically, not as a global object.
575- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
576- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
577 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
578 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
579- Added gcc pragmas.
580- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
581- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
582- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
583 added a few references to wxTransString.
584- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
585 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
586- samples/internat now works (minimally).
587- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
588 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
589- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
590- Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
591- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
592 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
593 MoreRequested.

600- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
601 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
602- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
603- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
604 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
605 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
606- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
607 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
608 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
609 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
610- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
611 scrolling toolbars.
612- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
613 to help printing with multiple pages.
614- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
615 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
616 implementation updated to use these base classes.
617- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
618 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
619 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
620 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
621 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
622- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
623 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
624 New files from Vadim:
625 include\wx\string.h
626 include\wx\debug.h
627 include\wx\file.h
628 include\wx\log.h
629 include\wx\intl.h
630 src\common\string.cpp
631 src\common\log.cpp
632 src\common\intl.cpp
633 src\common\file.cpp
634 No longer use GNU wxString files.
635- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
636 src\common\filefn.cpp.
637- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
638 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
639- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
640 including changes to defs.h.
641- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
642 introduced.
643- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
644 hidden).
645- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
646 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
647 trick).
648- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.

655- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
656- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
657- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
658- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
659- Started documentation.

666- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
667 with MetroWerks compiler.
668- Added ids to .wxr file format.
669- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
670 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
671 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
672 for testing purposes.
673- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
674 handlers.
675- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
676- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
677 fully).
678- Added back wxRadioBox.
679- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
680 a separate file.

687At this point, the following has been achieved:
688
689- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
690 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
691 wxString instead of char *.
692- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
693 old system event system) and code size reduced.
694- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
695 as wxbWindow now removed.
696- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
697 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
698- PrologIO revised.
699- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
700 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
701- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
702 Windows settings.
703- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
704 settings mucho rationalised.
705- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
706 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
707 classes removed.
708- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
709 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
710- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
711- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
712 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
713 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
714 of event handlers.
715- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
716- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
717 wxToolBarBase
718 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
719 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
720 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
721- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
722- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
723 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
724 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
725- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
726 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
727 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
728 in the future.
729- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
730 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
731 variables instead.
732- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
733 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
734 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
735- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
736 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
737- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
738 Win95.
739- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
740 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
741 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
742- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
743 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
744- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
