4 Various fixes and improvements to get look-and-feel similar across
10 Preferences for default "sizeritem" parameters for new panels and
11 controls can be configured ("File">"Preferences...").
13 Implemented comment object for including simple one-line comments and
14 comment directives as tree nodes. No validation is performed for a
15 valid XML string so comments must not contain "-->". Comment directive
16 is a special comment starting with '%' character, followed by a line
17 of python code. It is executed using 'exec' when the resource file is
18 opened. This is useful to import plugin modules containing custom
19 handlers which are specific to the resource file, hovewer this is of
20 course a security hole if you use foreign XRC files. A warning is
21 displayed if the preference option 'ask' is selected (by default).
23 Added support for custom controls and plugin modules. Refer to this
24 wxPythonWiki for the details:
25 http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/XRCed#custom
27 Tool panel sections can be collapsed/expanded by clicking on the
28 label of a tool group.
30 Some undo/redo and other fixes.
35 Fixes for wxMSW (notebook highlighting, control sizes, tree Unselect).
40 Notebook page highlighting fix. Highlight resizes when the window
41 is resized. ParamUnit spin button detects event handler re-entry
42 (wxGTK probably has a bug in wxSpinButton with repeated events).
47 Fix for dealing with empty 'growable' property, using MiniFrame
48 for properties panel, the panel is restored together with the
54 Fixed SetItemBold and editing 'growable' properties of
60 New feature added from a patch submitted on sourceforge by botg:
64 - ChecklistBox content editing;
65 - Window styles more in sync with the docs;
67 - Reference property page created correctly (every property is
73 Fix for non-ascii characters support when using other encodings
74 than utf-8 in 'content' property. Tested under unicode build.
79 Second fix for Copy/Paste (using expat.native_encoding property).
80 Added cellpos,cellspan properties for Spacer in GridBag sizer.
85 Fix for Copy/Paste objects with international characters.
90 Fixed Cut command, added support for MenuBar inside Frame/Dialog.
95 Important update of Paste command code which was passing too much data
96 thru clipboard using cPickle. Objects created while unpickling (from
97 minidom) were clogging memory. Now using toxml() (why didn't I do it
98 before - was I drunk or what? :) ).
103 Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar, DatePicker), and
104 completed style flags. Test window is opened for an available parent
105 control if no specific view defined. Better handling of exceptions
106 (highlighting does not 'stick' anymore). Tested on wxGTK 2.6.1.0.
111 Using system clipboard for Copy/Paste.
116 Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed the
117 range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100 is not
123 Fixed testing for any element inside object tree.
128 Fixed replacing op for sizer children and spacer objects.
129 UndoReplace is not yet implemented.
134 Fix for crash when opening new file with active tree selection.
135 Replacing controls bug fixed.
140 wxMSW wxTreeCtrl behaviour is still different from wxGTK for
141 wxTR_MULTIPLE, some fixes for this.
146 New (experimental ;) ) feature: support for "object_ref" tag, for
147 creating references to named objects (see tn0014.txt). "reference..."
148 menu command creates new object_ref node. Properties of the top-level
149 object can be overriden, but overriding child controls is not working
150 as expected (maybe a bug in wx).
155 xxxStdDialogButtonSizer pulldown menu with standard buttons.
157 Some fixes for selecting tools inside toolbar with test window open
158 (whole toolbar is selected).
160 Toolbars can be added inside windows.
165 Using wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for changing active encoding.
167 Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed while pasting).
169 Dealed with ascii build (Python does not recognize 'ascii' as valid encoding).
170 If encoding is not specified it is not written in XRC. Will add more
171 customization in the future.
173 Changed to use SimpleTool instead or Toggle tool (does not work on Win32).
178 Added wxWizard, wxWizardPageSimple (only from pull-down menu).
180 Hide command for test window.
182 Replacing classes works better.
189 Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.
190 Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but
191 not with labels/sizers.
193 Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command-
194 line argument work correctly, notebook panels are highlighted
200 Added support for wxGridBagSizer (supported in wxPython 2.5).
205 Added subclass attribute.
210 Fixed problems with wxStaticBitmap (stock_id attribute, icon type
213 Changed some dimensions in properties panel elements.
218 Sizes of some controls were not normal on wxMSW. Fixed.
220 Some changes to test window code to make it resize better and to
221 have focus control with sawfish for all types of windows.
226 Bugs with currentEncoding and frame testing fixed.
228 Some required parameters are set to default if missing.
230 Unsupported classes are tolerated, with warning message.
232 wxScrolledWindow added (to 'control' pulldown menu, not yet to the
235 Multi-line editing for labels and some values (wxTextCtrl,
241 Changed internationalization support. '-i' option removed, default
242 encoding is used (should be defined in sitecustomize.py, or 'ascii' by
243 default). When XRC file is opened with encoding specified,
244 translations are not used.
249 Replace command added (not quite finished yet).
254 Finally implemented tools panel for almost all controls (except
255 wxHtmlWindow, wxCalendarCtrl and wxGenericDirCtrl - they are too
258 Changed some sizes in panel to better work with different fonts.
260 Fixed double-refreshing after Ctrl+R.
262 Maybe something else that I've forgot. It's been a looong day... :)
268 Added dialog unit support.
270 Dealing with non-specified required values (set to defaults, if exist).
272 Added 'minsize' parameter of sizeritem.
274 Added '-i' option to turn off translations and use international characters.
279 Mac platform-specific checks.
284 Implemented standard bitmap selection.
286 Fixed a bug in FlexGridSizer code.
291 File browsing (for bitmaps/icons, etc.) had a small problem when current
292 file was not saved yet.
297 Small bug fix for initial don't panic message.
302 Changed program structure, reduced use of global variables (grouped in
303 module 'globals', which creates an instanse 'g' of class Globals.
305 First version of undo/redo working!
307 Support for toolbars inside panels and frames.
309 Added 'container' submenu for creating Panel, Notebook and ToolBar objects.
311 wxMSW-only: added code to switch focus back to main window when test
317 Fixed unicode problem for unicode build.
324 Added new controls: wxSpinCtrl, wxGenericDirCtrl, unknown (custom
325 control), improved wxXRC format suppor (menu styles, etc.).
327 Some I18N support: parsing "encoding" attribute in XML header, later
328 it can be modified in "properties" panel for "XML tree".
330 UNIX note: currently XML writing for non-ascii chars works only if
331 sys.getdefaultencoding() returns good value. To do this, one has to
332 put following lines to "sitecustomize.py" file:
336 sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1') # or whatever
342 Some command-line arguments.
344 "Test window" command and toolbar button.
346 New panel interphace (wxHTMLWindow is not used anymore).
348 Toggling between embedded and detached panel.
350 Cache for already used windows.
352 Current top-level control is bold, if test window shown.
356 CheckListBox does not work unless wxXRC source fixed (in both wxPytnon and
359 contrib/src/xrc/xmlrsall.cpp
361 < AddHandler(new wxListCtrlXmlHandler);
364 > AddHandler(new wxListCtrlXmlHandler);
365 > #if wxUSE_CHECKLISTBOX
367 This is fixed in CVS.
372 Toolbar, bitmap, icon support (no display yet).
374 Changed parameter objects, added support for multiple parameters (like
377 Fixed double-clicking problem with tree control on Windows.
379 Some performance improovements.
385 Added notebook with properties page and style page. Fixed some problems
392 Some fixes suggested by RD
398 Faster preview window refresh.
400 Cut/Paste works better.
