509 ----------------------------
513 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
514 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
515 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
516 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
517 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
519 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
520 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy

566 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
567 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
568 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
569 the debugging implementation.
570 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
571 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
572 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
573 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
574 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.

633 ------------------------
637 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
638 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client

686 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
687 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
688 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
689 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
690 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
691 first, then doing the assignment.

768 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
770 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
771 ------------------------
775 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
776 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
777 cleaned up properly before exit.
778 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
780 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
781 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
782 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
784 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
785 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
787 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
788 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
789 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
790 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
794 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
795 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
796 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
797 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
798 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
799 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
800 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
801 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
802 allow better control of memory.
803 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
805 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
806 float to long in wxToolBar files.
808 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
809 ------------------------
813 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
814 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
815 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
816 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
817 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
818 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
819 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
820 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
821 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
822 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
823 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
824 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
826 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
827 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
828 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
829 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
830 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
831 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
832 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
833 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
834 internal implementation.
835 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
836 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
837 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
841 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
842 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
843 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
844 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
845 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
847 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
848 --------------------------
852 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
853 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
854 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
856 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
857 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
858 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
859 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
861 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
862 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
867 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
868 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
869 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
871 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
872 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
874 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
875 created dynamically, not as a global object.
876 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
877 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
878 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
879 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
881 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
882 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
883 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
884 added a few references to wxTransString.
885 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
886 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
887 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
888 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
889 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
890 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
891 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
892 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
893 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
896 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
897 --------------------------
901 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
902 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
903 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
904 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
905 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
906 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
907 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
908 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
909 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
910 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
911 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
913 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
914 to help printing with multiple pages.
915 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
916 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
917 implementation updated to use these base classes.
918 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
919 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
920 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
921 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
922 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
923 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
924 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
925 New files from Vadim:
931 src\common\string.cpp
935 No longer use GNU wxString files.
936 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
937 src\common\filefn.cpp.
938 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
939 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
940 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
941 including changes to defs.h.
942 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
944 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
946 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
947 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
949 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
951 Alpha 3, September 1997
952 -----------------------
956 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
957 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
958 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
959 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
960 - Started documentation.
962 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
963 ------------------------
967 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
968 with MetroWerks compiler.
969 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
970 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
971 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
972 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
973 for testing purposes.
974 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
976 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
977 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
979 - Added back wxRadioBox.
980 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
983 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
984 -----------------------
988 At this point, the following has been achieved:
990 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
991 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
992 wxString instead of char *.
993 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
994 old system event system) and code size reduced.
995 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
996 as wxbWindow now removed.
997 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
998 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
1000 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
1001 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
1002 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
1004 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
1005 settings mucho rationalised.
1006 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
1007 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
1009 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
1010 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
1011 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
1012 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
1013 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
1014 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
1016 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
1017 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
1019 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
1020 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
1021 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
1022 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
1023 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
1024 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
1025 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
1026 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
1027 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
1028 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
1030 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
1031 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
1033 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
1034 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
1035 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
1036 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
1037 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
1038 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
1040 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
1041 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
1042 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
1043 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
1044 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
1045 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
