48
49 Beta 5, February 18th 1999
50 --------------------------
51
52 wxGTK:
53
54 - wxExecute improved.
55
56 wxMSW:
57
58 - Fixed wxWindow::IsShown (::IsWindowVisible doesn't behave as
59 expected).
60 - Changed VC++ makefiles (.vc) so that it's possible to have
61 debug/release/DLL versions of the library available simultaneously,
62 with names wx.lib, wx_d.lib, wx200.lib(dll), wx200_d.lib(dll).
63 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.

81 --------------------------
82
83 wxGTK:
84
85 - Miscellaneous fixes.
86

93 wxMotif:
94
95 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
96 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
97 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
98 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
99 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
100 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
101 crashes for some reason).
102 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
103 of malloc, which causes memory problems).
104
105 General:
106
107 - Further doc improvements.
108 - wxGenericValidator added.
109 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers

145 --------------------
146
147 wxGTK:
148
149 wxMSW:
150
151 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
152
153 wxMotif:
154
155 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
156 the right place.
157 - Cured some widget table clashes.
158 - Added thread support (Robert).
159 - wxPoem sample now works.
160
161 General:
162
163 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
164 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
165 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
166 or below).
167 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
168 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
169 sample.
170 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
171
172 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
173 --------------------------
174
175 wxGTK:
176
177 - Various
178
179 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
180
181
182 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
183 ----------------------------
184
185 wxMSW:
186
187 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
188 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
189 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
190 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
191 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
192 on a tab.
193 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
194 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
195 of Stefan Csomor.
196
197 wxMotif:
198
199 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
200 without (permanently) resizing the window.
201 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
202 that disabled scrollbar paging.
203 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
204 colours correctly.
205 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
206 when any button was pressed.
207 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
208 have a white background.
209 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
210 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
211 they have sensible colours by default.
212 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
213 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
214 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
215 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
216 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
217
218 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
219 ----------------------------
220
221 wxMSW:
222
223 - More documentation updates, especially for
224 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
225 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
226 of wxTrace.
227 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
228 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
229 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
230 position.
231 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
232
233 wxMotif:
234
235 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
236 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
237 child frames).
238 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
239 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
240 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
241 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
242 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
243 the debugging implementation.
244 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
245 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
246 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
247 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
248 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
249 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
250 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
251
252 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
253
254 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
255 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
256 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
257 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
258 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
259 - wxNotebook almost done.
260 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
261 to vertical toolbars).
262
263 More recently:
264
265 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
266 to scrollbars).
267 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
268 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
269 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
270
271 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
272 ----------------------------
273
274 wxMSW:
275
276 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
277 sample.
278 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
279 - A few more makefiles added.
280 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
281 - Further doc updates.
282 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
283
284 wxMotif:
285
286 - First start at Motif port.
287 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
288 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
289 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
290 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
291
292 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
293 --------------------------
294
295 wxMSW:
296
297 - wxBitmap debugged.
298 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
299 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
300 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
301 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
302 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
303 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
304 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
305
306 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
307 ------------------------
308
309 wxMSW:
310
311 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
312 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
313 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
314 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
315 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
316 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
317 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
318 changes, wxNotebook.
319 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
320
321 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
322 -----------------------
323
324 wxMSW:
325
326 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
327 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
328 Windows functions, for efficiency.
329 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
330 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
331 don't support it.
332 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
333 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
334
335 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
336 -----------------------
337
338 wxMSW:
339
340 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
341 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
342
343 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
344 -----------------------
345
346 wxMSW:
347
348 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
349 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
350 wxMenuBar.
351 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
352 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
353 wxMenuItem accessors.
354 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
355 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
356 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
357 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
358 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
359 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
360 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
361 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
362 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
363 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
364 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
365 first, then doing the assignment.
366 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
367 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
368
369 Generic:
370
371 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
372 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
373
374 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
375 ----------------------
376
377 wxMSW:
378
379 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
380 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
381 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
382 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
383 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
384 require application-supplied positioning code though.
385 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
386 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
387 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
388
389 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
390 ------------------------
391
392 wxMSW:
393
394 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
395 fields were used.
396 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
397 compilation and pragmas.
398 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
399 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
400
401 Generic:
402
403 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
404 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
405 compilation and pragmas.
406 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
407
408 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
409 ------------------------
410
411 wxMSW:
412
413 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
414 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
415 some reason :-(
416 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
417 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
418 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
419 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
420 startup/exit.
421 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
422 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
423 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
424 VADIM'S CHANGES:
425 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
426 compatibility functions.
427 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
428 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
429 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
430 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
431 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
432 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
433 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
434
435 Generic:
436
437 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
438 - Added samples/png.
439 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
440 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
441 header files.
442 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
443
444 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
445 ------------------------
446
447 wxMSW:
448
449 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
450 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
451 cleaned up properly before exit.
452 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
453 automatically.
454 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
455 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
456 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
457 unresolved issues.
458 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
459 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
460 tray area.
461 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
462 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
463 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
464 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
465
466 Generic:
467
468 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
469 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
470 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
471 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
472 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
473 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
474 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
475 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
476 allow better control of memory.
477 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
478 checking.
479 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
480 float to long in wxToolBar files.
481
482 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
483 ------------------------
484
485 wxMSW:
486
487 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
488 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
489 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
490 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
491 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
492 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
493 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
494 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
495 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
496 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
497 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
498 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
499 IUnknown.
500 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
501 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
502 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
503 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
504 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
505 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
506 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
507 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
508 internal implementation.
509 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
510 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
511 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
512
513 Generic:
514
515 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
516 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
517 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
518 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
519 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
520
521 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
522 --------------------------
523
524 wxMSW:
525
526 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
527 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
528 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
529 changes.
530 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
531 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
532 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
533 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
534 again.
535 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
536 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
537 e.g. wxDC.
538
539 Generic:
540
541 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
542 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
543 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
544 changes.
545 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
546 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
547 docs/gtk.
548 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
549 created dynamically, not as a global object.
550 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
551 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
552 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
553 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
554 - Added gcc pragmas.
555 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
556 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
557 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
558 added a few references to wxTransString.
559 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
560 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
561 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
562 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
563 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
564 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
565 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
566 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
567 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
568 MoreRequested.
569
570 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
571 --------------------------
572
573 All:
574
575 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
576 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
577 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
578 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
579 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
580 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
581 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
582 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
583 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
584 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
585 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
586 scrolling toolbars.
587 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
588 to help printing with multiple pages.
589 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
590 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
591 implementation updated to use these base classes.
592 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
593 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
594 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
595 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
596 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
597 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
598 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
599 New files from Vadim:
600 include\wx\string.h
601 include\wx\debug.h
602 include\wx\file.h
603 include\wx\log.h
604 include\wx\intl.h
605 src\common\string.cpp
606 src\common\log.cpp
607 src\common\intl.cpp
608 src\common\file.cpp
609 No longer use GNU wxString files.
610 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
611 src\common\filefn.cpp.
612 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
613 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
614 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
615 including changes to defs.h.
616 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
617 introduced.
618 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
619 hidden).
620 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
621 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
622 trick).
623 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
624
625 Alpha 3, September 1997
626 -----------------------
627
628 All:
629
630 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
631 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
632 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
633 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
634 - Started documentation.
635
636 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
637 ------------------------
638
639 All:
640
641 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
642 with MetroWerks compiler.
643 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
644 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
645 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
646 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
647 for testing purposes.
648 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
649 handlers.
650 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
651 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
652 fully).
653 - Added back wxRadioBox.
654 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
655 a separate file.
656
657 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
658 -----------------------
659
660 Generic:
661
662 At this point, the following has been achieved:
663
664 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
665 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
666 wxString instead of char *.
667 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
668 old system event system) and code size reduced.
669 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
670 as wxbWindow now removed.
671 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
672 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
673 - PrologIO revised.
674 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
675 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
676 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
677 Windows settings.
678 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
679 settings mucho rationalised.
680 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
681 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
682 classes removed.
683 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
684 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
685 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
686 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
687 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
688 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
689 of event handlers.
690 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
691 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
692 wxToolBarBase
693 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
694 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
695 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
696 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
697 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
698 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
699 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
700 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
701 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
702 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
703 in the future.
704 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
705 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
706 variables instead.
707 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
708 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
709 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
710 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
711 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
712 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
713 Win95.
714 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
715 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
716 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
717 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
718 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
719 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
