32 Beta 5, February 18th 1999
33 --------------------------
34
35 wxGTK:
36
37 - wxExecute improved.
38
39 wxMSW:
40
41 - Fixed wxWindow::IsShown (::IsWindowVisible doesn't behave as
42 expected).
43 - Changed VC++ makefiles (.vc) so that it's possible to have
44 debug/release/DLL versions of the library available simultaneously,
45 with names wx.lib, wx_d.lib, wx200.lib(dll), wx200_d.lib(dll).
46 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.

64 --------------------------
65
66 wxGTK:
67
68 - Miscellaneous fixes.
69

75
76 wxMotif:
77
78 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
79 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
80 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
81 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
82 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
83 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
84 crashes for some reason).
85 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
86 of malloc, which causes memory problems).
87
88 General:
89
90 - Further doc improvements.
91 - wxGenericValidator added.
92 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers

128 --------------------
129
130 wxGTK:
131
132 wxMSW:
133
134 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
135
136 wxMotif:
137
138 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
139 the right place.
140 - Cured some widget table clashes.
141 - Added thread support (Robert).
142 - wxPoem sample now works.
143
144 General:
145
146 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
147 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
148 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
149 or below).
150 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
151 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
152 sample.
153 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
154
155 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
156 --------------------------
157
158 wxGTK:
159
160 - Various
161
162 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
163
164
165 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
166 ----------------------------
167
168 wxMSW:
169
170 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
171 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
172 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
173 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
174 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
175 on a tab.
176 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
177 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
178 of Stefan Csomor.
179
180 wxMotif:
181
182 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
183 without (permanently) resizing the window.
184 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
185 that disabled scrollbar paging.
186 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
187 colours correctly.
188 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
189 when any button was pressed.
190 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
191 have a white background.
192 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
193 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
194 they have sensible colours by default.
195 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
196 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
197 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
198 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
199 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
200
201 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
202 ----------------------------
203
204 wxMSW:
205
206 - More documentation updates, especially for
207 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
208 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
209 of wxTrace.
210 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
211 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
212 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
213 position.
214 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
215
216 wxMotif:
217
218 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
219 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
220 child frames).
221 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
222 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
223 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
224 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
225 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
226 the debugging implementation.
227 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
228 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
229 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
230 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
231 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
232 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
233 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
234
235 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
236
237 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
238 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
239 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
240 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
241 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
242 - wxNotebook almost done.
243 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
244 to vertical toolbars).
245
246 More recently:
247
248 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
249 to scrollbars).
250 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
251 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
252 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
253
254 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
255 ----------------------------
256
257 wxMSW:
258
259 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
260 sample.
261 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
262 - A few more makefiles added.
263 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
264 - Further doc updates.
265 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
266
267 wxMotif:
268
269 - First start at Motif port.
270 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
271 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
272 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
273 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
274
275 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
276 --------------------------
277
278 wxMSW:
279
280 - wxBitmap debugged.
281 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
282 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
283 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
284 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
285 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
286 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
287 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
288
289 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
290 ------------------------
291
292 wxMSW:
293
294 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
295 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
296 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
297 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
298 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
299 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
300 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
301 changes, wxNotebook.
302 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
303
304 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
305 -----------------------
306
307 wxMSW:
308
309 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
310 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
311 Windows functions, for efficiency.
312 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
313 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
314 don't support it.
315 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
316 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
317
318 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
319 -----------------------
320
321 wxMSW:
322
323 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
324 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
325
326 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
327 -----------------------
328
329 wxMSW:
330
331 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
332 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
333 wxMenuBar.
334 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
335 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
336 wxMenuItem accessors.
337 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
338 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
339 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
340 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
341 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
342 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
343 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
344 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
345 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
346 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
347 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
348 first, then doing the assignment.
349 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
350 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
351
352 Generic:
353
354 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
355 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
356
357 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
358 ----------------------
359
360 wxMSW:
361
362 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
363 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
364 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
365 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
366 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
367 require application-supplied positioning code though.
368 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
369 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
370 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
371
372 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
373 ------------------------
374
375 wxMSW:
376
377 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
378 fields were used.
379 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
380 compilation and pragmas.
381 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
382 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
383
384 Generic:
385
386 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
387 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
388 compilation and pragmas.
389 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
390
391 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
392 ------------------------
393
394 wxMSW:
395
396 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
397 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
398 some reason :-(
399 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
400 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
401 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
402 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
403 startup/exit.
404 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
405 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
406 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
407 VADIM'S CHANGES:
408 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
409 compatibility functions.
410 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
411 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
412 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
413 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
414 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
415 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
416 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
417
418 Generic:
419
420 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
421 - Added samples/png.
422 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
423 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
424 header files.
425 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
426
427 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
428 ------------------------
429
430 wxMSW:
431
432 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
433 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
434 cleaned up properly before exit.
435 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
436 automatically.
437 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
438 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
439 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
440 unresolved issues.
441 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
442 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
443 tray area.
444 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
445 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
446 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
447 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
448
449 Generic:
450
451 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
452 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
453 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
454 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
455 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
456 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
457 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
458 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
459 allow better control of memory.
460 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
461 checking.
462 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
463 float to long in wxToolBar files.
464
465 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
466 ------------------------
467
468 wxMSW:
469
470 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
471 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
472 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
473 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
474 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
475 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
476 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
477 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
478 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
479 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
480 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
481 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
482 IUnknown.
483 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
484 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
485 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
486 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
487 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
488 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
489 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
490 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
491 internal implementation.
492 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
493 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
494 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
495
496 Generic:
497
498 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
499 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
500 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
501 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
502 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
503
504 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
505 --------------------------
506
507 wxMSW:
508
509 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
510 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
511 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
512 changes.
513 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
514 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
515 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
516 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
517 again.
518 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
519 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
520 e.g. wxDC.
521
522 Generic:
523
524 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
525 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
526 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
527 changes.
528 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
529 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
530 docs/gtk.
531 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
532 created dynamically, not as a global object.
533 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
534 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
535 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
536 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
537 - Added gcc pragmas.
538 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
539 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
540 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
541 added a few references to wxTransString.
542 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
543 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
544 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
545 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
546 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
547 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
548 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
549 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
550 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
551 MoreRequested.
552
553 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
554 --------------------------
555
556 All:
557
558 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
559 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
560 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
561 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
562 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
563 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
564 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
565 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
566 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
567 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
568 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
569 scrolling toolbars.
570 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
571 to help printing with multiple pages.
572 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
573 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
574 implementation updated to use these base classes.
575 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
576 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
577 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
578 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
579 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
580 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
581 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
582 New files from Vadim:
583 include\wx\string.h
584 include\wx\debug.h
585 include\wx\file.h
586 include\wx\log.h
587 include\wx\intl.h
588 src\common\string.cpp
589 src\common\log.cpp
590 src\common\intl.cpp
591 src\common\file.cpp
592 No longer use GNU wxString files.
593 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
594 src\common\filefn.cpp.
595 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
596 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
597 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
598 including changes to defs.h.
599 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
600 introduced.
601 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
602 hidden).
603 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
604 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
605 trick).
606 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
607
608 Alpha 3, September 1997
609 -----------------------
610
611 All:
612
613 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
614 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
615 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
616 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
617 - Started documentation.
618
619 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
620 ------------------------
621
622 All:
623
624 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
625 with MetroWerks compiler.
626 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
627 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
628 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
629 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
630 for testing purposes.
631 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
632 handlers.
633 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
634 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
635 fully).
636 - Added back wxRadioBox.
637 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
638 a separate file.
639
640 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
641 -----------------------
642
643 Generic:
644
645 At this point, the following has been achieved:
646
647 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
648 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
649 wxString instead of char *.
650 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
651 old system event system) and code size reduced.
652 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
653 as wxbWindow now removed.
654 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
655 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
656 - PrologIO revised.
657 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
658 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
659 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
660 Windows settings.
661 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
662 settings mucho rationalised.
663 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
664 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
665 classes removed.
666 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
667 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
668 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
669 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
670 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
671 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
672 of event handlers.
673 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
674 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
675 wxToolBarBase
676 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
677 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
678 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
679 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
680 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
681 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
682 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
683 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
684 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
685 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
686 in the future.
687 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
688 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
689 variables instead.
690 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
691 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
692 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
693 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
694 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
695 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
696 Win95.
697 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
698 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
699 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
700 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
701 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
702 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
