1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP,
8 EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent,
9 wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow,
10 and a demo to show them in action.
12 Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust.
14 Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.
16 Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.
18 Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman
21 Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the
22 default C++ contructor, (the on with no parameters) and also added the
23 coresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step
24 creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such
25 as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for
26 passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the
27 resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of
28 the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame,
31 Updated to version 1.39 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
38 Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
39 code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
40 on a custom event handler for example.)
42 Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
43 GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
45 Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
46 subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
48 Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
50 Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
52 Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
54 Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
60 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
61 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
63 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
64 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
67 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
69 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
70 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
73 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
74 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
75 access from non-GUI threads.
77 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
78 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
80 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
82 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
83 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
85 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
86 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
88 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
89 it gobs faster in certain situations.
91 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
92 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
93 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
94 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
95 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
96 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
97 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
98 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
99 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
102 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
103 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
106 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
107 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
109 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
111 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
113 Added wxToggleButton.
115 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
117 Added some methods to wxGrid:
118 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
119 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
120 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
121 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
123 GetGridRowLabelWindow
124 GetGridColLabelWindow
125 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
127 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
128 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
129 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
132 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
133 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
134 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
135 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
136 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
137 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
138 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
139 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
140 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
141 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
142 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
143 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
144 use weak references.)
146 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
147 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
148 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
149 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
150 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
151 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
152 object-type related oddities to me.
153 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
155 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
156 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
157 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
160 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
161 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
163 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
167 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
168 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
169 make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
170 Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
171 of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
172 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
174 Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
175 by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
184 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
185 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
192 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
193 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
194 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
195 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
197 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
199 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
201 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
202 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
204 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
205 column in report mode.
207 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
212 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
213 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
214 object, (usually a window.)
216 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
218 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
220 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
221 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
222 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
223 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
224 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
225 wxPython/src/export.h
227 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
228 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
229 utils. Will probably add more later.
231 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
232 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
235 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
236 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
238 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
240 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
241 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
243 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
244 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
252 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
253 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
254 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
255 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
256 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
257 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
258 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
259 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
262 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
263 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
264 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
265 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
266 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
267 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
268 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
269 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
270 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
272 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
273 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
275 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
276 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
277 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
280 Removed the old python sizers.
282 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
285 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
286 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
287 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
289 Lots of little fixes here and there.
291 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
292 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
293 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
301 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
303 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
310 Added wxLog and friends.
312 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
314 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
321 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
322 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
325 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
327 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
331 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
333 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
335 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
337 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
338 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
339 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
340 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
341 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
342 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
343 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
344 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
366 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
367 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
369 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
372 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
373 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
375 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
377 Plugged a memory leak.
379 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
380 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
381 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
382 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
385 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
386 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
387 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
389 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
390 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
391 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
392 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
393 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
394 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
395 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
396 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
399 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
400 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
401 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
402 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
404 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
405 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
406 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
407 but I've included a very readable source file in the
408 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
409 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
410 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
411 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
412 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
419 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
421 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
422 and some flicker problems.
424 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
425 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
427 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
430 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
432 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
434 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
435 with wxWindow.GetParent.
437 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
438 It is used like this:
440 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
442 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
443 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
445 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
447 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
449 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
450 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
451 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
452 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
453 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
454 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
456 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
457 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
458 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
459 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
460 methods look like this:
464 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
467 shortHelpString = "",
470 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
472 shortHelpString = "",
477 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
478 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
480 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
482 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
484 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
485 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
486 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
488 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
490 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
493 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
495 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
496 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
497 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
504 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
507 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
508 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
511 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
512 being added. This should remove the need for our
513 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
515 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
516 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
517 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
518 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
519 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
521 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
523 Added new HTML printing classes.
525 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
527 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
528 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
529 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
532 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
533 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
534 thread from other threads.
536 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
538 Added wxFontEnumerator.
540 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
542 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
543 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
545 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
547 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
550 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
557 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
558 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
566 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
567 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
568 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
569 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
570 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
573 Now back to what's new...
575 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
577 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
579 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
580 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
581 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
582 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
583 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
586 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
587 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
590 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
591 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
592 example, the following are equivallent:
594 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
595 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
597 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
598 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
599 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
600 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
601 pages. See the demo for an example.
603 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
604 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
606 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
608 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
609 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
610 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
611 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
612 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
613 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
614 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
615 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
616 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
617 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
618 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
621 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
622 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
623 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
624 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
625 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
626 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
627 for more info and examples in future releases.
629 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
630 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
631 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
632 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
633 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
634 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
637 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
638 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
639 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
640 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
641 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
642 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
643 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
644 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
645 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
646 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
647 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
649 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
650 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
651 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
652 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
653 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
654 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
655 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
656 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
657 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
658 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
659 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
660 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
661 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
662 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
663 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
664 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
667 outputWindowClass = MyClass
671 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
674 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
675 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
676 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
677 to really screw things up.
679 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
680 in the wxWindows docs...
682 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
683 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
684 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
685 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
686 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
687 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
688 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
697 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
699 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
700 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
701 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
702 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
705 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
706 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
707 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
709 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
711 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
712 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
713 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
714 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
717 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
718 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
719 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
720 see distrib/build.py for more details.
722 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
723 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
724 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
725 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
734 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
736 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
737 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
738 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
739 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
740 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
742 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
743 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
744 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
745 is being unloaded by Python.
747 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
748 make wxPython look bad.
750 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
751 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
753 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
755 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
756 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
758 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
759 code to show how to use it.
761 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
764 Added wxGrid.GetCells
766 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
767 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
769 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
770 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
772 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
773 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
775 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
776 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
777 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
779 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
782 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
784 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
787 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
789 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
798 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
799 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
800 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
802 Added the Printing Framework.
804 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
805 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
806 data after loading each extension module.
808 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
811 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
812 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
813 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
815 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
816 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
817 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
818 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
824 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
826 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
827 wxPython application.
829 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
831 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
832 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
835 Added wxSafeYield function.
837 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
839 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
842 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
843 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
845 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
847 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
848 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
850 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
852 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
859 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
861 Several missing methods from various classes.
869 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
871 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
877 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
878 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
883 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
884 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
885 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
886 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
887 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
889 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
890 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
891 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
892 diverges from wxWindows.
894 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
895 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
896 it should just work... More news on this later.
898 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
900 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
903 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
909 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
911 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
912 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
918 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
919 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
920 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
921 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
923 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
925 Made the events work for wxGrid.
929 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
931 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
932 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
934 Other assorted fixes and additions.
942 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
943 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
944 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
945 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
946 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
947 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
949 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
950 must have been a different issue all along...
957 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
958 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
959 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
960 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
961 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
962 version segfault shortly after starting up.
964 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
966 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
