4INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
5================================
6
7wxBase:
8
9- wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
10 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
11 code.
12
13- wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
14 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
15 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
16 arrays containing non-pointers.
17
18- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
19 simply don't make sense for all objects
20
21- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
22 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
23 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
24
25All (GUI):
26
27- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
28 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
29 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
30
31 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
32 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
33 instead!
34
35- wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
36 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
37 the occurences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
38
39- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
40 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
41 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
42 will *NOT* work any longer:
43
44 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
45 ... do something ...
46 if ( flags & wxYES )
47 ... do something else ...
48
49- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
50
51- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
52 if you derived any classes from it
53
54- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
55 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
56
57- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
58 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
59
60wxMSW:
61
62- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
63 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
64 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
65 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
66 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
67 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
68 make/project files.
69
70- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
71 style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
72 effect
73
74- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
75 previously selected one instead of replacing it
76
77Unix ports:
78
79- You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
80 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
81 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
82 to compile pure C files.
