5ec9d741 | 5 | INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x |
aae53500 VZ |
6 | ================================ |
7 | ||
e6d4038a VZ |
8 | Unicode-related changes |
9 | ----------------------- | |
10 | ||
11 | The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the | |
12 | old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview | |
13 | in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible | |
14 | changes: | |
15 | ||
16 | - Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take | |
4baf7800 | 17 | either "const wxString&" so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings. |
e6d4038a | 18 | and the argument can't be NULL or "const char *" if the strings are always |
4baf7800 VZ |
19 | ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except: |
20 | ||
21 | a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take | |
22 | "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the | |
23 | base class version. | |
24 | ||
25 | b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to | |
26 | wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL | |
0d5ab92f VZ |
27 | should be replaced with an empty string. |
28 | ||
29 | ||
30 | - Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as | |
31 | wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of | |
32 | type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used | |
33 | to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). | |
e6d4038a | 34 | |
50c549b9 VZ |
35 | - wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed |
36 | but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used | |
37 | to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were | |
38 | also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7 | |
39 | bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings. | |
e6d4038a VZ |

1e6b2edf VZ |
42 | wxODBC library removal |
43 | ---------------------- | |
44 | ||
45 | wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue | |
46 | supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open | |
47 | source ODBC libraries in the future projects. | |
48 | ||
49 | ||
b1f3b29c VZ |
50 | Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! |
51 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
52 | ||
466e87bd VZ |
53 | - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will |
54 | need to update your code if you access these files directly. | |
55 | ||
47a8a4d5 VZ |
56 | - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not |
57 | necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled() | |
58 | with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added. | |
59 | ||
5644933f VZ |
60 | - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and |
61 | other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn() | |
62 | instead. | |
63 | ||
89064717 VZ |
64 | - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items |
65 | according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the | |
66 | new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely | |
67 | on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal | |
68 | sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items | |
69 | proportions to return to the old behaviour. | |
70 | ||
b1f3b29c VZ |
71 | Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors |
72 | ----------------------------------------------------------- | |
73 | ||
c1dc9f83 VZ |
74 | - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if |
75 | you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4 | |
76 | ||
c9f78968 VS |
77 | - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no |
78 | longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem | |
79 | in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break | |
80 | code that depends on the result being wxChar. | |
81 | ||
ef0f1387 VS |
82 | - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char* |
83 | or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods | |
84 | char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str() | |
85 | (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are | |
86 | available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well. | |
87 | ||
c9f78968 VS |
88 | - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be |
89 | used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like | |
90 | this won't compile: | |
91 | switch (str[i]) { ... } | |
92 | and has to be replaced with this: | |
93 | switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... } | |
94 | ||
95 | - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not | |
96 | const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and | |
97 | const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot | |
98 | convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers | |
99 | don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with | |
100 | compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting | |
101 | to const wxChar*: | |
102 | wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "") | |
103 | ||
52de37c7 | 104 | - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode |
5bce3e6f | 105 | build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*. |
52de37c7 | 106 | |
c9f78968 VS |
107 | - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using |
108 | wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type | |
109 | conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this: | |
110 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p ) | |
111 | This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool: | |
112 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p ) | |
113 | ||
d03dab2a | 114 | - Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now. |
5bce3e6f | 115 | |
de34bb08 | 116 | - Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8. |
d38f70b2 | 117 | are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString |
ab29bb87 | 118 | must be used instead. |
d38f70b2 | 119 | |
de34bb08 VZ |
120 | - wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx() |
121 | with void pointers. | |
122 | ||
d03dab2a VS |
123 | - Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions. |
124 | ||
6a4cbac1 VS |
125 | - Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use |
126 | wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead. | |
c8058a09 JS |
127 | |
128 | - wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer | |
129 | derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you | |
130 | can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments. | |
6a4cbac1 | 131 | |

5ec9d741 VZ |
133 | Deprecated methods and their replacements |
134 | ----------------------------------------- | |
135 | ||
13dd765c | 136 | - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead. |
7890307b VS |
137 | - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer |
138 | or wxStringBufferLength instead. | |
d0bc78e2 VZ |
139 | - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if |
140 | specified so this style should simply be removed | |
724b119a VZ |
141 | - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and |
142 | wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler | |
143 | to use | |
288b6107 VS |
144 | - wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard |
145 | terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use | |
146 | "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names. | |
