332 - added wxImage::InitAlpha()
336 - wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build
340 - Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
341 now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it

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

551 with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
553 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
554 wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
555 to forward declare these classes.

566 will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
567 window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
568 size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
569 windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
570 min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
571 are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
572 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()

584 won't exit even though there are no top level windows
585 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
586 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows

592 - added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
596 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
597 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
598 and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
599 motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
603 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
607 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
608 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)

842 DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
843 - Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
844 CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.

850 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
851 - added wxMirrorDC class
852 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
853 been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
854 report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
855 number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;

929 does not support all the features other ports do); refer to wxFileDialog
930 documentation for a detailed explanation
931 - implemented wxWakeUpIdle

957 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
958 ================================
960 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
961 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
962 with '!' in the first column.
964 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
965 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
966 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
967 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
970 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
971 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
972 (see the documentation) useful.
977 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
978 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
981 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
982 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
983 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
984 arrays containing non-pointers.
986 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
987 simply don't make sense for all objects
989 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
990 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
991 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
993 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
995 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
996 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
997 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
998 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
999 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
1001 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
1002 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
1003 the default assert handling.
1007 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
1008 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
1009 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
1011 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
1012 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
1015 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
1016 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
1017 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
1019 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
1020 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
1021 you want to get OnChar() as well
1023 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
1024 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
1025 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
1027 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
1028 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
1029 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
1030 will *NOT* work any longer:
1032 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
1033 ... do something ...
1034 if ( flags & wxYES )
1035 ... do something else ...
1037 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
1038 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
1041 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
1043 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
1044 if you derived any classes from it
1046 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
1047 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
1049 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
1050 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
1052 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
1053 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
1055 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
1056 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
1059 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
1060 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
1061 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
1063 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
1064 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
1065 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
1066 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
1070 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
1071 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
1072 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
1073 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
1074 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
1075 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
1076 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
1077 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
1078 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
1079 is only present for the DLLs builds.
1081 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
1084 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
1085 previously selected one instead of replacing it
1087 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
1088 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
1089 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
1091 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
1092 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
1097 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
1098 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
1099 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
1100 to compile pure C files.
1103 wxThread and related classes:
1105 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
1106 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
1107 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
1108 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
1110 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
1111 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
1112 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
1113 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
1115 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
1116 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
1117 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
1119 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
1120 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
1131 - fixed loss of client data in wxChoice::SetString()
1138 - added (partial) Indonesian translations (Bambang Purnomosidi D. P.)

1189 programs and not only GNU make
1190 - wxTCP-based IPC classes now support communicating over Unix domain sockets
1191 - wxWidgets may be built as a dynamic shared library under Darwin / Mac OS X
1192 lazy linking issues have been solved by linking a single module (.o) into
1193 the shared library (two step link using distrib/mac/shared-ld-sh)
1194 - fixed thread priority setting under Linux

1901 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
1902 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
1903 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
1904 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
1905 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
1907 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
1908 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
1913 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
1914 without (permanently) resizing the window.
1915 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
1916 that disabled scrollbar paging.
1917 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
1919 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
1920 when any button was pressed.
1921 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
1922 have a white background.
1923 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
1924 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
1925 they have sensible colours by default.
1926 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
1927 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
1928 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
1929 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
1930 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
1932 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
1933 ----------------------------
1937 - More documentation updates, especially for
1938 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
1939 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
1941 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
1942 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
1943 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
1945 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
1949 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
1950 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
1952 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
1953 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
1954 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
1955 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
1956 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
1957 the debugging implementation.
1958 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
1959 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
1960 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
1961 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
1962 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
1963 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
1964 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
1966 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
1968 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
1969 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
1970 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
1971 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
1972 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
1973 - wxNotebook almost done.
1974 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
1975 to vertical toolbars).
1979 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
1981 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
1982 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
1983 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
1985 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
1986 ----------------------------
1990 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
1992 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
1993 - A few more makefiles added.
1994 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
1995 - Further doc updates.
1996 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
2000 - First start at Motif port.
2001 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
2002 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
2003 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
2004 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
2006 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
2007 --------------------------
2011 - wxBitmap debugged.
2012 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
2013 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
2014 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
2015 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
2016 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
2017 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
2018 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
2020 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
2021 ------------------------
2025 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
2026 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
2027 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
2028 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
2029 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
2030 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
2031 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
2032 changes, wxNotebook.
2033 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
2035 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
2036 -----------------------
2040 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
2041 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
2042 Windows functions, for efficiency.
2043 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
2044 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
2046 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
2047 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
2049 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
2050 -----------------------
2054 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
2055 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
2057 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
2058 -----------------------
2062 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
2063 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
2065 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
2066 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
2067 wxMenuItem accessors.
2068 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
2069 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
2070 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
2071 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
2072 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
2073 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
2074 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
2075 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
2076 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
2077 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
2078 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
2079 first, then doing the assignment.
2080 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
2081 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
2085 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
2086 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
2088 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
2089 ----------------------
2093 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
2094 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
2095 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
2096 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
2097 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
2098 require application-supplied positioning code though.
2099 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
2100 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
2101 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
2103 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
2104 ------------------------
2108 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
2110 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
2111 compilation and pragmas.
2112 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
2113 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
2117 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
2118 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
2119 compilation and pragmas.
2120 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
2122 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
2123 ------------------------
2127 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
2128 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
2130 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
2131 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
2132 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
2133 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
2135 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
2136 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
2137 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
2139 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
2140 compatibility functions.
2141 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
2142 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
2143 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
2144 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
2145 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
2146 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
2147 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
2151 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
2152 - Added samples/png.
2153 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
2154 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
2156 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
2158 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
2159 ------------------------
2163 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
2164 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
2165 cleaned up properly before exit.
2166 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
2168 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
2169 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
2170 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
2172 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
2173 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
2175 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
2176 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
2177 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
2178 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
2182 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
2183 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
2184 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
2185 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
2186 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
2187 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
2188 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
2189 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
2190 allow better control of memory.
2191 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
2193 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
2194 float to long in wxToolBar files.
2196 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
2197 ------------------------
2201 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
2202 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
2203 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
2204 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
2205 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
2206 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
2207 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
2208 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
2209 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
2210 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
2211 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
2212 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
2214 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
2215 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
2216 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
2217 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
2218 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
2219 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
2220 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
2221 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
2222 internal implementation.
2223 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
2224 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
2225 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
2229 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
2230 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
2231 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
2232 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
2233 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
2235 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
2236 --------------------------
2240 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
2241 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
2242 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
2244 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
2245 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
2246 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
2247 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
2249 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
2250 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
2255 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
2256 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
2257 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
2259 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
2260 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
2262 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
2263 created dynamically, not as a global object.
2264 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
2265 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
2266 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
2267 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
2268 - Added gcc pragmas.
2269 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
2270 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
2271 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
2272 added a few references to wxTransString.
2273 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
2274 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
2275 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
2276 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
2277 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
2278 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
2279 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
2280 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
2281 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
2284 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
2285 --------------------------
2289 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
2290 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
2291 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
2292 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
2293 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
2294 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
2295 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
2296 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
2297 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
2298 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
2299 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
2301 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
2302 to help printing with multiple pages.
2303 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
2304 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
2305 implementation updated to use these base classes.
2306 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
2307 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2308 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
2309 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
2310 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
2311 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
2312 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
2313 New files from Vadim:
2319 src\common\string.cpp
2323 No longer use GNU wxString files.
2324 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
2325 src\common\filefn.cpp.
2326 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
2327 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
2328 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
2329 including changes to defs.h.
2330 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
2332 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
2334 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
2335 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
2337 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
2339 Alpha 3, September 1997
2340 -----------------------
2344 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
2345 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
2346 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
2347 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
2348 - Started documentation.
2350 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
2351 ------------------------
2355 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
2356 with MetroWerks compiler.
2357 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
2358 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
2359 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
2360 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
2361 for testing purposes.
2362 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
2364 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
2365 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
2367 - Added back wxRadioBox.
2368 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
2371 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
2372 -----------------------
2376 At this point, the following has been achieved:
2378 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
2379 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
2380 wxString instead of char *.
2381 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
2382 old system event system) and code size reduced.
2383 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
2384 as wxbWindow now removed.
2385 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
2386 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
2388 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2389 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
2390 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
2392 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
2393 settings mucho rationalised.
2394 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
2395 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
2397 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
2398 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
2399 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
2400 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
2401 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
2402 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
2404 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
2405 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
2407 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
2408 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
2409 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
2410 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
2411 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
2412 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
2413 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
2414 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
2415 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
2416 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
2418 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
2419 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
2421 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
2422 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
2423 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
2424 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
2425 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
2426 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
2428 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
2429 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
2430 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
2431 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
2432 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
2433 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
