| | 14 | <h1><a name="id1">2.6.1.0</a></h1> |
| | 15 | <ul class="simple"> |
| | 16 | <li>4-June-2005</li> |
| | 17 | </ul> |
| | 18 | <p>wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with |
| | 19 | wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS.</p> |
| | 20 | <p>Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite.</p> |
| | 21 | <p>DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN |
| | 22 | commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for |
| | 23 | any unknown file type.</p> |
| | 24 | <p>wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback |
| | 25 | to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available.</p> |
| | 26 | <p>wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other |
| | 27 | attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default |
| | 28 | value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the |
| | 29 | other.</p> |
| | 30 | <p>wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject</p> |
| | 31 | <p>wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of |
| | 32 | the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion.</p> |
| | 33 | <p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in |
| | 34 | wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen.</p> |
| | 35 | <p>Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux.</p> |
| | 36 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping |
| | 37 | calls.</p> |
| | 38 | <p>wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the |
| | 39 | change will get written at the next flush.</p> |
| | 40 | </div> |
| | 41 | <div class="section" id="id2"> |
| | 42 | <h1><a name="id2">2.6.0.1</a></h1> |
| | 43 | <ul class="simple"> |
| | 44 | <li>30-May-2005</li> |
| | 45 | </ul> |
| | 46 | <p>Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step. |
| | 47 | Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK |
| | 48 | wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.</p> |
| | 49 | <p>wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour |
| | 50 | is not black.</p> |
| | 51 | <p>wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that |
| | 52 | both has an icon and is a submenu.</p> |
| | 53 | <p>wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and |
| | 54 | resized.</p> |
| | 55 | <p>wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes |
| | 56 | in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single |
| | 57 | DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults |
| | 58 | instead of current values.</p> |
| | 59 | <p>Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a |
| | 60 | wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.</p> |
| | 61 | <p>Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.</p> |
| | 62 | <p>wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an |
| | 63 | extra null character at the end.</p> |
| | 64 | <p>Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11 |
| | 65 | Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.</p> |
| | 66 | <p>wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio |
| | 67 | item.</p> |
| | 68 | <p>Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.</p> |
| | 69 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within |
| | 70 | a wx.StaticBox.</p> |
| | 71 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.</p> |
| | 72 | <p>Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any |
| | 73 | locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads |
| | 74 | as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding |
| | 75 | situations.</p> |
| | 76 | <p>Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize, |
| | 77 | wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs |
| | 78 | for details.</p> |
| | 79 | <p>Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like |
| | 80 | static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's |
| | 81 | default browser in response to the clicks.</p> |
| | 82 | <p>Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to |
| | 83 | specify that the extra components specified in the version string are |
| | 84 | required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi |
| | 85 | version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected |
| | 86 | as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you |
| | 87 | want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True |
| | 88 | parameter, like this:</p> |
| | 89 | <pre class="literal-block"> |
| | 90 | import wxversion |
| | 91 | wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True) |
| | 92 | import wx |
| | 93 | </pre> |
| | 94 | <p>Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and |
| | 95 | a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are |
| | 96 | transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.</p> |
| | 97 | <p>wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver |
| | 98 | theme on XP.</p> |
| | 99 | <p>Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See |
| | 100 | wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py</p> |
| | 101 | <p>wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.</p> |
| | 102 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used |
| | 103 | to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.</p> |
| | 104 | <p>XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for |
| | 105 | changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed |
| | 106 | while pasting).</p> |
| | 107 | <p>wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when |
| | 108 | self.history is None.</p> |
| | 109 | <p>wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point |
| | 110 | parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to |
| | 111 | optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.</p> |
| | 112 | <p>wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using |
| | 113 | XP themes.</p> |
| | 114 | <p>More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the |
| | 115 | ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with |
| | 116 | Subversion.</p> |
| | 117 | <p>wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is |
| | 118 | left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the |
| | 119 | EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will |
| | 120 | probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.</p> |
| | 121 | <p>wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]</p> |
| | 122 | <p>wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all |
| | 123 | platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the |
| | 124 | event as well.</p> |
| | 125 | <p>wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the |
| | 126 | window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)</p> |
| | 127 | <p>Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an |
| | 128 | explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the |
| | 129 | printer.</p> |
| | 130 | <p>wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong, |
| | 131 | also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.</p> |
| | 132 | <p>wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.</p> |
| | 133 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.</p> |
| | 134 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels</p> |
| | 135 | <p>Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images |
| | 136 | that we're not sure of their origin or license.</p> |
| | 137 | <p>The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current |
| | 138 | size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead |
| | 139 | the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional |
| | 140 | problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never |
| | 141 | shrink.</p> |
| | 142 | <p>wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an |
| | 143 | alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.</p> |
| | 144 | <p>Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to |
| | 145 | _setCallbackInfo.</p> |
| | 146 | <p>wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.</p> |
| | 147 | <p>wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide |
| | 148 | enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than |
| | 149 | usual.</p> |
| | 150 | <p>Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when |
| | 151 | there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead |
| | 152 | of a wx.TextCtrl.)</p> |
| | 153 | </div> |

| | 156 | <ul class="simple"> |
| | 157 | <li>26-Apr-2005</li> |
| | 158 | </ul> |
| | 159 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed wx.TransientPopupWindow (and therefore wx.TipWindow) to |
| | 160 | auto-dismiss when the mouse is clicked outside of the popup like it is |
| | 161 | supposed to.</p> |
| | 162 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed bug #1167891 wx.Notebook display problem with wx.NB_MULTILINE.</p> |
| | 163 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed bad cliping of hidden windows inside of wx.StaticBox.</p> |
| | 164 | <p>wxGTK: The configure flags for selecting GTK+ 1.2.x or 2.x has |
| | 165 | changed slightly. It is now --with-gtk[=VERSION] where VERSION is |
| | 166 | either '1', '2' or 'any'. The default is '2'.</p> |
| | 167 | <p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways |
| | 168 | to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly |
| | 169 | to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go |
| | 170 | through the same string/unicode <--> wxString conversions. The "Raw" |
| | 171 | methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of |
| | 172 | wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi |
| | 173 | build no assumption is made about the encoding. The "UTF8" functions |
| | 174 | will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be |
| | 175 | able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on |
| | 176 | the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current |
| | 177 | encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p> |

| | 215 | <p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the StyleSetFontEncoding(style, enc) |
| | 216 | method that allows you to set the encoding to be used by the font for |
| | 217 | a particular style.</p> |
| | 218 | <p>wxMac: Fixed wx.ComboBox to forward the EVT_CHAR, EVT_KEY_DOWN, |
| | 219 | EVT_KEY_UP and EVT_TEXT events from its embedded text control.</p> |
| | 220 | <p>wxMac: Corrected refresh bugs in wxGrid.</p> |

| | 235 | <li>8-Apr-2005</li> |
| | 236 | </ul> |
| | 237 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'</p> |
| | 238 | <p>wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles |
| | 239 | activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done |
| | 240 | so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char |
| | 241 | value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code |
| | 242 | provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.</p> |
| | 243 | <p>Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()</p> |
| | 244 | <p>wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if |
| | 245 | available.</p> |
| | 246 | <p>Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to |
| | 247 | wx.ImageHistogram.</p> |
| | 248 | <p>wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children as |
| | 249 | well as the parent. Previously it was implicitly done because parents |
| | 250 | did not clip their children by default. Now that they always clip |
| | 251 | children then Refresh needed to be fixed to do a recursive refresh. |
| | 252 | This also fixes the Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with |
| | 253 | 2.5.4.1.</p> |
| | 254 | <p>wx.SplitterWindow: Send EVT_SPLITTER_SASH_POS_CHANGED only once after |
| | 255 | end of dragging and not after each CHANGING event (modified patch |
| | 256 | #1076226)</p> |
| | 257 | <p>wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas: applied patch fixing problems with X server |
| | 258 | crash when using nVidia cards (patch 1155132)</p> |

| | 267 | </dl> |
| | 268 | <p>wxMac: removal and reusing toolbar tools like the other platforms is |
| | 269 | now possible.</p> |
| | 270 | <p>wxMac: Correct radio tool selection after calling Realize a 2nd time.</p> |
| | 271 | <p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1166587, removes all flicker from wx.StaticBox</p> |
| | 272 | <p>Added wx.lib.foldpanelbar, Andrea Gavana's port of Jorgen Bodde's C++ |
| | 273 | wxFoldPanelBar classes to Python.</p> |
| | 274 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1173802, reimplementation of GtkFileChooser |
| | 275 | wxFileDialog by Mart Raudsepp. Note that this new file dialog is only |
| | 276 | used on GTK2 >= 2.4. For earlier GTK2 versions and GTK1 then the |
| | 277 | older generic file dialog is used.</p> |
| | 278 | <p>wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch |
| | 279 | #1166587)</p> |
| | 280 | <p>wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and |
| | 281 | alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all |
| | 282 | still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but |
| | 283 | this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.</p> |
| | 284 | <p>Added MDI support to XRC</p> |
| | 285 | <p>Added wx.animate module and a demo. The wx.animate module provides a |
| | 286 | control that is able to display an animated GIF file.</p> |
| | 287 | <p>wx.lib.plot.py: Applied patch from Werner F. Bruhin that allows either |
| | 288 | vertical and/or horizontal gridlines.</p> |
| | 289 | <p>wxMSW: Extra space given for top border of wx.StaticBoxSizer so the |
| | 290 | upper line is not cliped when there is no label.</p> |
| | 291 | <p>wxMSW: Restored old behaviour of wx.StaticBox.SetBackgroundColour only |
| | 292 | affecting the label.</p> |
| | 293 | <p>wxMSW: Fixed missing EVT_RIGHT_DOWN and EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK |
| | 294 | events in a wx.TreeCtrl.</p> |
| | 295 | <p>Added wx.GetTopLevelWindows() function which returns a copy of the |
| | 296 | list of top-level windows that currently exist in the application.</p> |
| | 297 | <p>Updated docview library modules and sample apps from the ActiveGrid |
| | 298 | folks.</p> |
| | 299 | <p>Added the ActiveGrid IDE as a sample application.</p> |

| | 330 | <p>OGL patch from Shane Holloway:</p> |
| | 331 | <blockquote> |
| | 332 | <p>Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is |
| | 333 | the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially:</p> |
| | 334 | <pre class="literal-block"> |
| | 335 | dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX)) |
| | 336 | dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY)) |
| | 337 | </pre> |
| | 338 | <p>was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX, |
| | 339 | self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates. |
| | 340 | Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical |
| | 341 | coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug |
| | 342 | surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from |
| | 343 | the origin of the canvas.</p> |
| | 344 | <p>The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption |
| | 345 | that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions. |
| | 346 | Causes many problems when it's not. ;)</p> |
| | 347 | </blockquote> |
| | 348 | <p>Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on |
| | 349 | the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.</p> |
| | 350 | <p>Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the |
| | 351 | internal scrollbar visible.</p> |
| | 352 | <p>Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard |
| | 353 | system paths for each platform.</p> |
| | 354 | <p>wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the |
| | 355 | background colour or background mode has been changed. This better |
| | 356 | allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for |
| | 357 | uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct |
| | 358 | theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children.</p> |
| | 359 | <p>wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and |
| | 360 | non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper |
| | 361 | method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour.</p> |
| | 362 | <p>wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an |
| | 363 | alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw |
| | 364 | directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later...</p> |
| | 365 | <p>Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play |
| | 366 | various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the |
| | 367 | system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX.</p> |
| | 368 | <p>wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl.</p> |
| | 369 | <p>Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a |
| | 370 | floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of |
| | 371 | sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies |
| | 372 | how much the left/top window will grow while resizing.</p> |
| | 373 | <p>wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more |
| | 374 | maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has |
| | 375 | also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples |
| | 376 | of how to use the control.</p> |
| | 377 | <p>wxMSW: Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses |
| | 378 | focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.)</p> |
| | 379 | <p>Added wx.EXEC_NODISABLE flag for wx.Execute, which will prevent all |
| | 380 | the app's windows being disabled while a synchronous child process is |
| | 381 | running.</p> |
| | 382 | <p>wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of |
| | 383 | control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc.</p> |
| | 384 | <p>Fixed a circular reference problem with wx.Timer. It will now |
| | 385 | completely cleanup after itself when the last reference to the timer |
| | 386 | is removed. If you were previously using timer.Destroy() to cleanup |
| | 387 | your timers it will no longer work. Instead you should hold a |
| | 388 | reference to the timer and then del the reference when you are |
| | 389 | finished with the timer.</p> |
| | 390 | <p>Updated to 1.3.24 of SWIG. All of my big patches have been applied to |
| | 391 | the main SWIG source tree, but unfortunatly there were also some bugs |
| | 392 | added that affected the wxPython build and a few details in my |
| | 393 | original patch were changed/removed, so we are still not free of |
| | 394 | patches. A new patch for SWIG is located in the wxPython/SWIG |
| | 395 | directory of the wxPython source tree. SWIG 1.3.24 plus this patch |
| | 396 | should be used by anyone who is making custom modifications to |
| | 397 | wxPython's .i files, or building their own extension modules or |
| | 398 | etc. that need to interact with the wxPython swigged types. For the |
| | 399 | morbidly curious, here are a few more details:</p> |
| | 400 | <blockquote> |
| | 401 | <ul class="simple"> |
| | 402 | <li>Since it is now possible easily and simply share the SWIG type |
| | 403 | tables across modules I reverted to always using the stock SWIG |
| | 404 | runtime instead of my slightly hacked up version of it exported |
| | 405 | via the wxPython C API.</li> |
| | 406 | <li>The %name directive is now deprecated so I replaced most uses of |
| | 407 | it with a custom %Rename macro that uses %rename internally. |
| | 408 | These will evetually need to be replaced with a DocDecl macro |
| | 409 | when docstrings are added for those items.</li> |
| | 410 | <li>The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a |
| | 411 | string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom |
| | 412 | built-in type that holds the real C pointer to the object and |
| | 413 | the type info. It can be converted to a string like the old |
| | 414 | value using str() or to the long integer value of the pointer |
| | 415 | using long().</li> |
| | 416 | </ul> |
| | 417 | </blockquote> |
| | 418 | <p>Added SetDefaultPyEncoding and GetDefaultPyEncoding functions which |
| | 419 | will set/get the encoding used by wxPython to convert string or |
| | 420 | unicode objects to/from wxString objects. Previously the default |
| | 421 | Python encoding was always used, but unless the user had tweaked their |
| | 422 | sitecustomize.py file it is always "ascii", which would result in |
| | 423 | errors if the strings contained character codes >= 128. |
| | 424 | SetDefaultPyEncoding will now allow you to control which encoding will |
| | 425 | be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the |
| | 426 | value of <cite>locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]</cite> when wxPython is first |
| | 427 | imported. Please see <a class="reference" href="http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html">http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html</a> |
| | 428 | for information on the differences between the common latin/roman |
| | 429 | encodings.</p> |
| | 430 | <p>Added wxStdDialogButtonSizer, which is a a special sizer that knows |
| | 431 | how to order and position standard buttons in order to conform to the |
| | 432 | current platform's standards. You simply need to add each <cite>wx.Button</cite> |
| | 433 | to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard |
| | 434 | ID's. Then call <cite>Realize</cite> and the sizer will take care of the rest.</p> |
| | 435 | <p>wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the |
| | 436 | EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler</p> |
| | 437 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get |
| | 438 | lots of surplus events)</p> |
| | 439 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in |
| | 440 | wx.SystemSettings.</p> |
| | 441 | <p>wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown |
| | 442 | events based on intercepting the mouse down events.</p> |
| | 443 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets |
| | 444 | and GTK+'s context menu code.</p> |
| | 445 | <p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions |
| | 446 | (not all actions are allowed).</p> |
| | 447 | <p>Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)</p> |
| | 448 | <p>For efficiency reasons, text controls no longer set the string for |
| | 449 | each text updated event, but rather query for the string value only |
| | 450 | when GetString is called from an event handler.</p> |
| | 451 | <p>Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min |
| | 452 | and max ends of the slider.</p> |
| | 453 | <p>Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that |
| | 454 | make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more |
| | 455 | conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.</p> |

| | 459 | <li>Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items. |
| | 460 | Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but |

| | 462 | <li>Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command- |

| | 465 | </ul> |
| | 466 | </dd> |
| | 467 | </dl> |
| | 468 | <p>wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a |
| | 469 | hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.</p> |
| | 470 | <p>wx.HtmlListBox fixed so calling RefreshLine(s) will cause the data for |
| | 471 | that line to be refetched from the overridden methods in the derived |
| | 472 | class.</p> |
| | 473 | <p>The default DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between |
| | 474 | the client size and total size of the window, (such as the size of |
| | 475 | borders.) Code that sets the client size using the best size, or that |
| | 476 | added extra space to sizers to compensate for this bug may need to be |

| | 480 | <p>wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.</p> |
| | 481 | <p>Can now set the msw.window.no-clip-children system option to 1 to |
| | 482 | eliminate weird refresh behaviour (delays between a window being |
| | 483 | erased and repainted, giving a ghostly gradual-redraw effect). May be |
| | 484 | a temporary 'fix' until properly fixed before 2.6.</p> |
| | 485 | <p>wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar |
| | 486 | buttons.</p> |
| | 487 | <p>wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs |
| | 488 | internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.</p> |
| | 489 | <p>Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.</p> |
| | 490 | <p>wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.</p> |
| | 491 | <p>Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports |
| | 492 | using Mouse Gestures in an application.</p> |
| | 493 | <p>wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text |
| | 494 | controls.</p> |
| | 495 | <p>wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not |
| | 496 | WXK_MENU</p> |
| | 497 | <p>Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx |
| | 498 | Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the |
| | 499 | base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific |
| | 500 | extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in |
| | 501 | samples/docview.</p> |
| | 502 | <p>Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.</p> |
| | 503 | <p>wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.</p> |
| | 504 | <p>wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been |
| | 505 | undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team |
| | 506 | lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being |
| | 507 | managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases |
| | 508 | for Add, and etc.</p> |
| | 509 | <p>The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use |
| | 510 | the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.</p> |
| | 511 | <p>The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the |
| | 512 | wx.lib.iewin version instead.</p> |
| | 513 | <p>Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the |
| | 514 | buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of |
| | 515 | the scrolled window. By default it will assume that only the client |
| | 516 | area is covered. This is different than the old behavior so to |
| | 517 | indicate that the entire virtual area is covered simply add a |
| | 518 | style=wx.BUFFER_VIRTUAL_AREA parameter.</p> |
| | 519 | <p>wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP |

| | 545 | <p>wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not |
| | 546 | enabled (does an enable itself)</p> |
| | 547 | <p>Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new |
| | 548 | OGL.</p> |
| | 549 | <p>Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also |
| | 550 | for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by |
| | 551 | XRCed.</p> |
| | 552 | <p>It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means |
| | 553 | that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an |
| | 554 | empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the |
| | 555 | button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it |
| | 556 | automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native |
| | 557 | concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock |
| | 558 | button will be used. For example, the following will result in a |
| | 559 | button with "Cancel" as the label and if run on wxGTK2 then there will |
| | 560 | also be an image of a red X:</p> |
| | 561 | <pre class="literal-block"> |
| | 562 | b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL) |
| | 563 | </pre> |
| | 564 | <p>Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.</p> |
| | 565 | <p>Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.</p> |
| | 566 | <p>Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.</p> |
| | 567 | <p>Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that |
| | 568 | I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no |
| | 569 | longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils |
| | 570 | on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of |
| | 571 | incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils |
| | 572 | has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on |
| | 573 | x86_64 or Chandler's build.</p> |
| | 574 | <p>Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt |
| | 575 | in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy |
| | 576 | of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with |
| | 577 | the wxPython modules.</p> |
| | 578 | <p>Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it, |
| | 579 | will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the |
| | 580 | user that they should look at that window.</p> |
| | 581 | <p>"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making |
| | 582 | them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.</p> |
| | 583 | <p>Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.</p> |
| | 584 | <p>Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set |
| | 585 | a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python |
| | 586 | 2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit, |
| | 587 | PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and |
| | 588 | PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate |
| | 589 | and PyGetDate methods.</p> |
| | 590 | <p>wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now |
| | 591 | also set the colour of the dropdown.</p> |
| | 592 | <p>wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style</p> |
| | 593 | <p>wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window</p> |
| | 594 | <p>wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips</p> |
| | 595 | <p>wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if |
| | 596 | the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers, |
| | 597 | and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.</p> |
| | 598 | <p>wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame</p> |
| | 599 | <p>wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events</p> |
| | 600 | <p>Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)</p> |
| | 601 | <p>Made wx.Listbook events more consistent with wx.Notebook ones (patch |
| | 602 | 1001271)</p> |
| | 603 | <p>Fixed rounding errors in variable status bar panes widths computation |
| | 604 | (patch 1030021)</p> |
| | 605 | <p>Added possibility to specify printer bin (patch 910272)</p> |
| | 606 | <p>wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove |
| | 607 | WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug |
| | 608 | 1019440)</p> |
| | 609 | <p>Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.</p> |
| | 610 | <p>wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard |
| | 611 | MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio |
| | 612 | button.</p> |
| | 613 | <p>Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a |
| | 614 | wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing |
| | 615 | how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.</p> |
| | 616 | <p>The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it |
| | 617 | is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed |
| | 618 | accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of |
| | 619 | modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then |
| | 620 | it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you |
| | 621 | should notice no difference.</p> |
| | 622 | <p>wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others |
| | 623 | when a new one is selected.</p> |
| | 624 | <p>wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls</p> |
| | 625 | <p>wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the |
| | 626 | app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be |
| | 627 | merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for |
| | 628 | more details and a warning.</p> |
| | 629 | <p>Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or |
| | 630 | dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.</p> |
| | 631 | <p>Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point |
| | 632 | size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.</p> |
| | 633 | <p>Updated the Scintilla used by StyledTextCtrl to version 1.61</p> |
| | 634 | <p>Improved image HitTest for TreeListCtrl.</p> |
| | 635 | <p>Added wx.App.IsMainLoopRunning.</p> |
| | 636 | <p>wxGTK: Make wxComboBox spit out a bit fewer surplus events when |
| | 637 | holding down the mouse button.</p> |
| | 638 | <p>wxGTK: Enable key based navigation through notebook tabs as in the |

| | 729 | <p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in |
| | 730 | sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will |
| | 731 | be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will |
| | 732 | be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE |
| | 733 | flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in |
| | 734 | that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best |
| | 735 | size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer |
| | 736 | (or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please |
| | 737 | see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p> |
| | 738 | <p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are |
| | 739 | now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p> |
| | 740 | <p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5 |
| | 741 | have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4 |
| | 742 | implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added |
| | 743 | that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual |
| | 744 | parameters.</p> |
| | 745 | <p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows |
| | 746 | all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p> |
| | 747 | <p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p> |
| | 748 | <p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well |
| | 749 | as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p> |
| | 750 | <p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same |
| | 751 | reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on |
| | 752 | all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and |
| | 753 | buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and |
| | 754 | inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you |
| | 755 | should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be |
| | 756 | done.</p> |
| | 757 | <p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but |
| | 758 | exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called |
| | 759 | automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers |
| | 760 | are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only |
| | 761 | a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary |
| | 762 | problems.</p> |
| | 763 | <p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to |
| | 764 | track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to |
| | 765 | Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p> |
| | 766 | <p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if |
| | 767 | there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p> |
| | 768 | <p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to |
| | 769 | detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p> |
| | 770 | <p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when |
| | 771 | running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale |
| | 772 | to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC |
| | 773 | remaining compatible with "C".</p> |
| | 774 | <p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the |
| | 775 | wxCode project.</p> |
| | 776 | <p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side |
| | 777 | leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor |
| | 778 | of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl |
