5 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
6 ================================
9 Notice that these changes are described in more details in
10 the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
11 please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
13 Table of contents of this section:
15 - Unicode-related changes
16 - wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
17 - Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors
18 - Build system changes
19 - Major new features in this release
22 Unicode-related changes
23 -----------------------
25 The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
26 old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
27 in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
30 - Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
31 either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
32 the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
33 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
34 backwards compatible except:
36 a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
37 "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
40 b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
41 wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
42 should be replaced with an empty string.
44 - Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
45 return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
46 *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
47 the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
48 you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
49 explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
50 A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
51 with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
52 indicate the parsing success.
54 - Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
55 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
56 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
57 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). If you want your
58 code to remain compatible with Unicode build of previous wx version, please
59 use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
61 - wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
62 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
63 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
64 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
65 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
66 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
67 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
70 wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
71 ------------------------------------
73 wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
74 supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
75 source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
77 Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
78 were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
79 The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
80 wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
81 open for further development by volunteers.
83 The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
84 "official" library stc and in the core lib.
87 Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
88 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
90 - Don't pass wxString::c_str() to vararg functions any more! Due to Unicode
91 changes, c_str() now returns an object and not a simple char pointer, so
92 using it with vararg functions does not work any more. The preferred
93 solution is to use wx-provided equivalents, e.g. wxPrintf() instead of
94 printf() which has the added benefit that you don't need to call c_str()
95 any more and can pass wxString objects directly. If this is impossible,
96 add explicit casts to "const char*" or "const wchar_t*". See wxString
97 documentation for more details.
99 Notice that using wxString::c_str() with vararg functions does result in
100 compilation errors with g++ and most other compilers but not MSVC. Try to
101 build your code with g++ to detect all such problems at compile-time.
103 - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
104 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
106 - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
107 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
108 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
110 - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
111 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
114 - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
115 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
116 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
117 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
118 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
119 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
121 - Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
122 ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
123 the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
124 request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
125 positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
126 deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
127 to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
128 the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
130 - wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
131 your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
133 - wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
134 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
135 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
136 you need the extra features.
138 - wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
139 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
140 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
141 derived classes to use const reference as well.
143 - Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
144 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
146 - wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
148 - If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
149 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
152 - Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
153 Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
154 or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
155 See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
157 - wxDialogs get wxEVT_SIZE events immediately after creation in wxMSW, as with
158 wxFrames. This means that this event handler may be called earlier than in
159 2.8, check that all the controls are initialized before using them in it.
161 - wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
163 - Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
164 changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
165 manual for more details.
167 - wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
168 Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
169 single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
171 - Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
172 instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
173 class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
174 documentation of wxLog for more information.
176 - Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
177 easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
178 will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
179 overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
180 new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
181 applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
183 - wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
184 and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
185 most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
186 space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
188 - wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
190 - wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
191 to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
192 indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
195 - wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
196 regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
199 - wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
200 wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
201 The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
202 from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
203 querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
205 - wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
206 instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
207 requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
208 flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
209 wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
210 currently running instances of this object are available.
212 - Signature of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::StartDrag() virtual method changed.
213 You will need to change it in your derived renderer class too if you override
216 - wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate() and LeftClick() were replaced with the
217 new ActivateCell() method. You will need to change it in your derived
218 renderer class accordingly.
220 - wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
221 waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
222 with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
223 default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
224 release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
227 - wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
228 prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
229 handling of the window that captured the mouse.
231 - wxDataViewCtrl::GetSelection() now returns invalid item in all ports (this
232 behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
233 is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
235 - wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, MENU_OPEN and CLOSE events returned a menu from
236 GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
237 Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
239 - wxAny now uses C locale format for the floating point numbers and not the
240 current locale one, i.e. decimal point is always used.
243 Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
244 -----------------------------------------------------------
246 - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
247 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
249 - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 still exists but is 0 by default in this release and
250 will be removed in 3.2. You can set it to 1 and rebuild wxWidgets to access
251 the old and deprecated symbols but please consider updating your code
252 instead. Here are replacements for some of the obsolete symbols:
253 + wxSAVE and wxOPEN -> wxFD_SAVE and wxFD_OPEN
254 + WXK_PRIOR and WXK_NEXT -> WXK_PAGEUP and WXK_PAGEDOWN
255 + wxRESIZE_BOX -> wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
256 + wxTHICK_FRAME -> wxRESIZE_BORDER
257 + wxPROCESS_ENTER and wxPASSWORD -> wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER and wxTE_PASSWORD
258 + EVT_SCROLL_ENDSCROLL -> EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
259 + NewControlId -> wxWindow::NewControlId()
260 + wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles() -> wxFileHistory::GetCount()
261 + wxSizerItem::SetOption() -> wxSizerItem::SetProportion()
262 + wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow*) -> wxSizer::Detach()
264 - wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
265 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
266 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
268 - wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
269 has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
270 GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
271 New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
273 - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
274 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
275 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
276 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
278 - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
279 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
280 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
281 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
282 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
284 - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
285 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
287 switch (str[i]) { ... }
288 and has to be replaced with this:
289 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
291 - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
292 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
293 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
294 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
296 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
297 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
298 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
299 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
300 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
302 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
303 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
304 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
305 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
307 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
308 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
309 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
310 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
312 - wxDateTime::ParseXXX() overloads don't return anything when called with
313 wxCStrData argument. If you need to test the parsing success, use a newer
314 overload taking wxString::const_iterator and returning bool or explicitly
315 select a narrow or wide char version to use by casting c_str() to either
316 "char*" or "wchar_t*". Or create a temporary wxString and parse it instead.
318 - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
319 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
321 - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
322 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
323 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
324 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
325 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
326 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
328 - Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
330 - Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
331 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
332 must be used instead.
334 - wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
337 - Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
339 - Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
340 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
342 - wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
343 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
344 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
346 - wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
347 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
348 necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
349 next/previous control sibling instead.
351 - Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
352 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
353 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
355 - Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
356 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
357 wxBitmapType in your code.
359 - wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
360 functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
361 of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
364 - wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
365 be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
367 - wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
368 its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
369 to it under 64 bit platforms too).
371 - Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
372 You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
373 locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
375 - wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
376 references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
377 now results in compile-time error.
379 - wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
380 an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
381 longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
382 without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
383 add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
385 - wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
386 require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
387 presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
390 - wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
391 change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
392 just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
395 - wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
397 - wxComboBox::IsEmpty(), which was previously available in some ports (but not
398 wxMSW), doesn't exist any more, use either IsListEmpty() or IsTextEmpty().
400 - wxSingleChoiceDialog ctors and Create() now have 2 overloaded versions: one
401 taking void** client data and the deprecated one taking char**. This can
402 result in compilation errors due to an ambiguity between them if you pass
403 NULL as client data. To fix this, cast NULL explicitly to "void**".
405 - wxChoicebookEvent, wxListbookEvent, wxNotebookEvent, wxToolbookEvent and
406 wxTreebookEvent are now all synonyms for wxBookCtrlEvent. The existing code
407 using the old names continues to work but they can't be forward-declared
408 any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
409 it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.
411 - wxStandardPaths class can't be created now. This was never the right thing
412 to do, wxStandardPaths::Get() always had to be used to access the global
413 object of the correct type but now doing it results in a compilation error.
416 Deprecated methods and their replacements
417 -----------------------------------------
419 - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
420 - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
421 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
422 - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
423 specified so this style should simply be removed
424 - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
425 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
427 - wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
428 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
429 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
430 - wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
431 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
432 - Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
434 . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
435 . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
436 . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
437 . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
438 - wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
439 ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
440 plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
441 and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
442 - EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
443 don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
444 - EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
445 - EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
446 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
447 - wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
448 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
449 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
450 - wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
451 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
452 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
453 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
455 - wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
456 - wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
457 name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
458 - wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
459 wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
460 were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
461 - wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
462 documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
463 - wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
464 the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
465 - building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
466 wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
467 on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
468 You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
469 the static box itself.
470 - wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
471 consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
472 - wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
473 ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
474 wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
475 - wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
476 disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
477 with more expected semantics.
478 - wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
479 wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
480 - Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
481 simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
482 was never used anyhow.
483 - wxSingleChoiceDialog ctor and Create() take "void**" client data pointer
484 instead of "char**". As the client data is typically untyped, you should
485 simply remove the casts to "char**" which you probably have in your code if
486 you use these functions.
487 - wxDataViewCtrl::StartEditor(item, n) taking column index is now deprecated,
488 use EditItem(item, GetColumn(n)), which takes the column itself, instead.
489 - wxWindow::MakeModal() is deprecated, use wxDialog::ShowModal() instead if
490 possible or wxWindowDisabler otherwise.
493 Changes in behaviour visible to end users
494 -----------------------------------------
496 - In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
497 could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
498 now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
504 - Cocoa is now used by default under OS X instead of Carbon. Pass --with-carbon
505 option to configure to use wxCarbon.
507 - In wxMSW makefile builds, "_x64" is used instead of "_amd64" when compiling
508 for this architecture in the architecture-specific paths and library names.
509 TARGET_CPU can still be specified as "amd64" for compatibility but "x64"
512 - Official wxMSW binaries, i.e. those built with OFFICIAL_BUILD=1, built with
513 MSVC now include the version of the compiler used and the architecture if
514 it's not the default "x86". E.g. a library built with MSVC 10 for amd64 is
515 called "wxbase294ud_vc110_amd64.dll" now.
517 - MSVC projects don't include neither wxUniversal nor ANSI (non-Unicode)
518 configurations any more. The simplest way to build wxWidgets in these
519 configurations if you need them is to use nmake from the command line with
520 WXUNIV=1 or UNICODE=0 command line parameter respectively.
522 - The manifest is not included by wx/msw/wx.rc any longer for MSVC compiler.
523 If you're using MSVC 6 or 7 which require it, you must explicitly define
524 wxUSE_RC_MANIFEST=1 and also predefine WX_CPU_X86 in the resource compiler
525 options in your project file.
528 Major new features in this release
529 ----------------------------------
531 - wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
532 simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
535 - wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
536 depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
538 - New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
540 - new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
542 - Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
544 - Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
546 - Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
547 wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
549 - Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
550 with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
551 of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
552 definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
553 welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
554 ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
556 - Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
560 3.0: (released 2013-09-??)
561 --------------------------

584 2.9.5: (released 2013-07-15)
585 ----------------------------
587 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.9.4:
589 - The locale is not set automatically on startup any more, unlike in the
590 previous 2.9 versions (but like in 2.8). Use wxLocale (preferred) or call
591 wxApp::SetCLocale() from your overridden wxApp::Initialize() to restore the
593 - wxWebView::New now takes a string identifier for the backend to be used
594 rather than a wxWebViewBackend enum value.
595 - wxWebView identifiers of the form WEB_VIEW_* have been renamed to WEBVIEW_*
596 for consistency with the rest of wxWidgets.
597 - wxFont(int size, wxFontFamily family, int flags) ctor added in 2.9.4 was
598 removed to avoid ambiguities with the other existing ctors and replaced with
599 the new wxFont(wxFontInfo) ctor.

2850 - fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
2851 - native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)

2854 after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
2855 - Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
2856 runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
2857 are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
2859 - wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
2860 - Added wxRawBitmap support

3053 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
3054 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
3055 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
3056 with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
3058 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
3059 wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
3060 to forward declare these classes.

3072 window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
3073 size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
3074 windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
3075 min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
3076 are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.

3089 won't exit even though there are no top level windows

3101 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
3102 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
3103 and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
3104 motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
3108 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
3112 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)

3355 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
3356 - added wxMirrorDC class
3357 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has

3359 report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
3360 number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
3361 wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages

3435 documentation for a detailed explanation
3436 - implemented wxWakeUpIdle
3437 - for Motif 2.0, used the native combobox widget instead of the GPL'd

3462 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
3463 ================================
3465 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
3466 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
3467 with '!' in the first column.
3469 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
3470 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
3471 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
3472 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
3475 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
3476 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
3477 (see the documentation) useful.
3482 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
3483 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
3486 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
3487 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
3488 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
3489 arrays containing non-pointers.
3491 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
3492 simply don't make sense for all objects
3494 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
3495 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
3496 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
3498 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
3500 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
3501 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
3502 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
3503 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
3504 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
3506 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
3507 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
3508 the default assert handling.
3512 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
3513 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
3514 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
3516 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
3517 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
3520 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
3521 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
3522 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
3524 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
3525 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
3526 you want to get OnChar() as well
3528 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
3529 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
3530 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
3532 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
3533 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
3534 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
3535 will *NOT* work any longer:
3537 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
3538 ... do something ...
3539 if ( flags & wxYES )
3540 ... do something else ...
3542 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
3543 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
3546 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
3548 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
3549 if you derived any classes from it
3551 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
3552 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
3554 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
3555 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
3557 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
3558 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
3560 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
3561 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
3564 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
3565 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
3566 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
3568 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
3569 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
3570 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
3571 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
3575 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
3576 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
3577 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
3578 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
3579 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
3580 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
3581 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
3582 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
3583 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
3584 is only present for the DLLs builds.
3586 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
3589 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
3590 previously selected one instead of replacing it
3592 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
3593 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
3594 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
3596 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
3597 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
3602 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
3603 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
3604 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
3605 to compile pure C files.
3608 wxThread and related classes:
3610 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
3611 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
3612 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
3613 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
3615 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
3616 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
3617 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
3618 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
3620 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
3621 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
3622 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
3624 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
3625 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
3636 - fixed loss of client data in wxChoice::SetString()
3643 - added (partial) Indonesian translations (Bambang Purnomosidi D. P.)

3676 - fixes to the command line parsing error and usage messages
3677 - modified wxFileName::CreateTempFileName() to open the file atomically
3678 (if possible) and, especially, not to leak the file descriptors under Unix

4363 Beta 2, January 1999
4364 --------------------
4370 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
4374 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
4376 - Cured some widget table clashes.
4377 - Added thread support (Robert).
4378 - wxPoem sample now works.
4382 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
4383 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
4384 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
4386 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
4387 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
4389 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
4391 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
4392 --------------------------
4398 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
4401 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
4402 ----------------------------
4406 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
4407 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
4408 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
4409 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
4410 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
4412 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
4413 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
4418 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
4419 without (permanently) resizing the window.
4420 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
4421 that disabled scrollbar paging.
4422 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
4424 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
4425 when any button was pressed.
4426 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
4427 have a white background.
4428 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
4429 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
4430 they have sensible colours by default.
4431 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
4432 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
4433 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
4434 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
4435 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
4437 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
4438 ----------------------------
4442 - More documentation updates, especially for
4443 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
4444 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
4446 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
4447 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
4448 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
4450 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
4454 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
4455 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
4457 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
4458 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
4459 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
4460 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
4461 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
4462 the debugging implementation.
4463 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
4464 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
4465 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
4466 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
4467 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
4468 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
4469 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
4471 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
4473 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
4474 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
4475 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
4476 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
4477 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
4478 - wxNotebook almost done.
4479 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
4480 to vertical toolbars).
4484 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
4486 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
4487 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
4488 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
4490 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
4491 ----------------------------
4495 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
4497 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
4498 - A few more makefiles added.
4499 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
4500 - Further doc updates.
4501 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
4505 - First start at Motif port.
4506 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
4507 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
4508 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
4509 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
4511 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
4512 --------------------------
4516 - wxBitmap debugged.
4517 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
4518 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
4519 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
4520 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
4521 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
4522 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
4523 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
4525 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
4526 ------------------------
4530 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
4531 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
4532 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
4533 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
4534 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
4535 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
4536 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
4537 changes, wxNotebook.
4538 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
4540 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
4541 -----------------------
4545 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
4546 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
4547 Windows functions, for efficiency.
4548 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
4549 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
4551 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
4552 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
4554 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
4555 -----------------------
4559 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
4560 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
4562 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
4563 -----------------------
4567 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
4568 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
4570 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
4571 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
4572 wxMenuItem accessors.
4573 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
4574 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
4575 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
4576 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
4577 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
4578 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
4579 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
4580 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
4581 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
4582 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
4583 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
4584 first, then doing the assignment.
4585 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
4586 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
4590 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
4591 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
4593 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
4594 ----------------------
4598 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
4599 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
4600 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
4601 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
4602 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
4603 require application-supplied positioning code though.
4604 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
4605 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
4606 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
4608 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
4609 ------------------------
4613 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
4615 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
4616 compilation and pragmas.
4617 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
4618 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
4622 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
4623 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
4624 compilation and pragmas.
4625 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
4627 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
4628 ------------------------
4632 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
4633 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
4635 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
4636 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
4637 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
4638 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
4640 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
4641 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
4642 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
4644 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
4645 compatibility functions.
4646 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
4647 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
4648 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
4649 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
4650 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
4651 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
4652 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
4656 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
4657 - Added samples/png.
4658 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
4659 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
4661 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
4663 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
4664 ------------------------
4668 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
4669 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
4670 cleaned up properly before exit.
4671 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
4673 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
4674 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
4675 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
4677 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
4678 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
4680 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
4681 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
4682 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
4683 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
4687 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
4688 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
4689 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
4690 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
4691 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
4692 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
4693 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
4694 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
4695 allow better control of memory.
4696 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
4698 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
4699 float to long in wxToolBar files.
4701 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
4702 ------------------------
4706 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
4707 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
4708 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
4709 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
4710 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
4711 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
4712 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
4713 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
4714 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
4715 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
4716 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
4717 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
4719 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
4720 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
4721 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
4722 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
4723 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
4724 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
4725 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
4726 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
4727 internal implementation.
4728 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
4729 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
4730 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
4734 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
4735 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
4736 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
4737 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
4738 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
4740 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
4741 --------------------------
4745 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
4746 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
4747 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
4749 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
4750 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
4751 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
4752 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
4754 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
4755 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
4760 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
4761 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
4762 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
4764 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
4765 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
4767 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
4768 created dynamically, not as a global object.
4769 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
4770 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
4771 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
4772 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
4773 - Added gcc pragmas.
4774 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
4775 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
4776 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
4777 added a few references to wxTransString.
4778 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
4779 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
4780 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
4781 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
4782 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
4783 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
4784 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
4785 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
4786 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
4789 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
4790 --------------------------
4794 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
4795 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
4796 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
4797 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
4798 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
4799 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
4800 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
4801 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
4802 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
4803 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
4804 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
4806 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
4807 to help printing with multiple pages.
4808 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
4809 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
4810 implementation updated to use these base classes.
4811 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
4812 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
4813 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
4814 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
4815 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
4816 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
4817 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
4818 New files from Vadim:
4824 src\common\string.cpp
4828 No longer use GNU wxString files.
4829 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
4830 src\common\filefn.cpp.
4831 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
4832 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
4833 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
4834 including changes to defs.h.
4835 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
4837 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
4839 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
4840 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
4842 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
4844 Alpha 3, September 1997
4845 -----------------------
4849 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
4850 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
4851 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
4852 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
4853 - Started documentation.
4855 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
4856 ------------------------
4860 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
4861 with MetroWerks compiler.
4862 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
4863 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
4864 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
4865 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
4866 for testing purposes.
4867 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
4869 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
4870 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
4872 - Added back wxRadioBox.
4873 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
4876 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
4877 -----------------------
4881 At this point, the following has been achieved:
4883 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
4884 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
4885 wxString instead of char *.
4886 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
4887 old system event system) and code size reduced.
4888 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
4889 as wxbWindow now removed.
4890 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
4891 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
4893 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
4894 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
4895 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
4897 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
4898 settings mucho rationalised.
4899 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
4900 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
4902 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
4903 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
4904 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
4905 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
4906 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
4907 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
4909 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
4910 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
4912 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
4913 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
4914 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
4915 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
4916 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
4917 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
4918 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
4919 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
4920 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
4921 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
4923 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
4924 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
4926 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
4927 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
4928 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
4929 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
4930 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
4931 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
4933 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
4934 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
4935 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
4936 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
4937 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
4938 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
