| | 13 | <div class="section" id="id1"> |
| | 14 | <h1><a name="id1">2.5.3.1</a></h1> |
| | 15 | <p>wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.</p> |
| | 16 | <p>Updated internal PNG library.</p> |
| | 17 | <p>wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.</p> |
| | 18 | <p>wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid |
| | 19 | (which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)</p> |
| | 20 | <p>wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not |
| | 21 | enabled (does an enable itself)</p> |
| | 22 | <p>Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new |
| | 23 | OGL.</p> |
| | 24 | <p>Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also |
| | 25 | for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by |
| | 26 | XRCed.</p> |
| | 27 | <p>It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means |
| | 28 | that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an |
| | 29 | empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the |
| | 30 | button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it |
| | 31 | automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native |
| | 32 | concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock |
| | 33 | button will be used. For example, the following will result in a |
| | 34 | button with "Cancel" as the label and an accelerator on the "C", and |
| | 35 | if run on wxGTK2 then there will also be an image of a red X:</p> |
| | 36 | <pre class="literal-block"> |
| | 37 | b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL) |
| | 38 | </pre> |
| | 39 | <p>Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.</p> |
| | 40 | <p>Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.</p> |
| | 41 | <p>Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.</p> |
| | 42 | <p>Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that |
| | 43 | I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no |
| | 44 | longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils |
| | 45 | on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of |
| | 46 | incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils |
| | 47 | has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on |
| | 48 | x86_64 or Chandler's build.</p> |
| | 49 | <p>Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt |
| | 50 | in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy |
| | 51 | of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with |
| | 52 | the wxPython modules.</p> |
| | 53 | <p>Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it, |
| | 54 | will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the |
| | 55 | user that they should look at that window.</p> |
| | 56 | <p>"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making |
| | 57 | them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.</p> |
| | 58 | <p>Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.</p> |
| | 59 | <p>Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set |
| | 60 | a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python |
| | 61 | 2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit, |
| | 62 | PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and |
| | 63 | PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate |
| | 64 | and PyGetDate methods.</p> |
| | 65 | <p>wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now |
| | 66 | also set the colour of the dropdown.</p> |
| | 67 | <p>wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style</p> |
| | 68 | <p>wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window</p> |
| | 69 | <p>wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips</p> |
| | 70 | <p>wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if |
| | 71 | the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers, |
| | 72 | and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.</p> |
| | 73 | <p>wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame</p> |
| | 74 | <p>wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events</p> |
| | 75 | <p>Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)</p> |
| | 76 | <p>Made wx.Listbook events more consistent with wx.Notebook ones (patch |
| | 77 | 1001271)</p> |
| | 78 | <p>Fixed rounding errors in variable status bar panes widths computation |
| | 79 | (patch 1030021)</p> |
| | 80 | <p>Added possibility to specify printer bin (patch 910272)</p> |
| | 81 | <p>wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove |
| | 82 | WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug |
| | 83 | 1019440)</p> |
| | 84 | <p>Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.</p> |
| | 85 | <p>wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard |
| | 86 | MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio |
| | 87 | button.</p> |
| | 88 | <p>Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a |
| | 89 | wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing |
| | 90 | how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.</p> |
| | 91 | <p>The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it |
| | 92 | is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed |
| | 93 | accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of |
| | 94 | modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then |
| | 95 | it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you |
| | 96 | should notice no difference.</p> |
| | 97 | <p>wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others |
| | 98 | when a new one is selected.</p> |
| | 99 | <p>wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls</p> |
| | 100 | <p>wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the |
| | 101 | app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be |
| | 102 | merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for |
| | 103 | more details and a warning.</p> |
| | 104 | <p>Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or |
| | 105 | dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.</p> |
| | 106 | <p>Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point |
| | 107 | size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.</p> |
| | 108 | <p>Updated the Scintilla used by StyledTextCtrl to version 1.61</p> |
| | 109 | <p>Improved image HitTest for TreeListCtrl.</p> |
| | 110 | <p>Added wx.App.IsMainLoopRunning.</p> |
| | 111 | <p>wxGTK: Make wxComboBox spit out a bit fewer surplus events when |
| | 112 | holding down the mouse button.</p> |
| | 113 | <p>wxGTK: Enable key based navigation through notebook tabs as in the |
| | 114 | native control with Left and right keys. Support for vetoing.</p> |
| | 115 | <p>FloatCanvas updates from Chris Barker</p> |
| | 116 | <dl> |
| | 117 | <dt>PyPlot updates from Gordon Williams:</dt> |

| | 132 | </ul> |
| | 133 | </dd> |
| | 134 | <dt>MaskedEdit updates from Will Sadkin:</dt> |
| | 135 | <dd><ul class="first last simple"> |
| | 136 | <li>Added '*' mask char that means "all ansii chars" (ords 32-255)</li> |

| | 141 | epydoc support</li> |
| | 142 | <li>lots of doc string improvements and function hiding to better |
| | 143 | reflect package's public contents.</li> |
| | 144 | </ul> |
| | 145 | </dd> |
| | 146 | </dl> |
| | 147 | <p>Restructured the installer packages slightly to help facilitate having |
| | 148 | multiple versions of wxPython installed at the same time. See the |
| | 149 | Migrarion Guide for more information.</p> |
| | 150 | <dl> |
| | 151 | <dt>Applied patch from Pim Van Heuven that modifies 4 files:</dt> |

| | 160 | </dl> |
| | 161 | <p>Added (thanks to Kevin Ollivier!) wrappers for wx.WebKitCtrl for the |
| | 162 | OSX build. Other platforms will raise an exception if you try to use |
| | 163 | it.</p> |
| | 164 | <p>wxPython on OSX can now be built in Unicode mode, can support multiple |
| | 165 | version installs, and comes with an uninstaller script.</p> |

| | 196 | <div class="section" id="id3"> |
| | 197 | <h1><a name="id3">2.5.2.7</a></h1> |
| | 198 | <p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in |
| | 199 | sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will |
| | 200 | be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will |
| | 201 | be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE |
| | 202 | flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in |
| | 203 | that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best |
| | 204 | size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer |
| | 205 | (or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please |
| | 206 | see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p> |
| | 207 | <p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are |
| | 208 | now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p> |
| | 209 | <p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5 |
| | 210 | have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4 |
| | 211 | implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added |
| | 212 | that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual |
| | 213 | parameters.</p> |
| | 214 | <p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows |
| | 215 | all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p> |
| | 216 | <p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p> |
| | 217 | <p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well |
| | 218 | as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p> |
| | 219 | <p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same |
| | 220 | reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on |
| | 221 | all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and |
| | 222 | buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and |
| | 223 | inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you |
| | 224 | should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be |
| | 225 | done.</p> |
| | 226 | <p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but |
| | 227 | exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called |
| | 228 | automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers |
| | 229 | are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only |
| | 230 | a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary |
| | 231 | problems.</p> |
| | 232 | <p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to |
| | 233 | track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to |
| | 234 | Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p> |
| | 235 | <p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if |
| | 236 | there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p> |
| | 237 | <p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to |
| | 238 | detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p> |
| | 239 | <p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when |
| | 240 | running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale |
| | 241 | to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC |
| | 242 | remaining compatible with "C".</p> |
| | 243 | <p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the |
| | 244 | wxCode project.</p> |
| | 245 | <p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side |
| | 246 | leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor |
| | 247 | of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl |
