424 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
425 ----------------------------
429 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
430 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
431 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
432 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
433 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
435 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
436 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
441 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
442 without (permanently) resizing the window.
443 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
444 that disabled scrollbar paging.
445 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
447 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically

466 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
467 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
469 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
470 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
471 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
473 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
477 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
478 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
480 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
481 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
482 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
483 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
484 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
485 the debugging implementation.
486 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
487 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
488 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
489 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
490 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
491 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
492 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
494 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
496 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
497 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
498 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
499 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
500 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
501 - wxNotebook almost done.
502 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
503 to vertical toolbars).
507 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
509 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
510 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
511 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.

532 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
534 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
535 --------------------------

541 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
542 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
543 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
544 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
545 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
546 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
548 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
549 ------------------------
553 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
554 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
555 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
556 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
557 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
558 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.

561 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
563 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
564 -----------------------
568 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and

572 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
574 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
575 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
577 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
578 -----------------------

596 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
597 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
598 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
599 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
600 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
601 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
602 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
603 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
604 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
605 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
606 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
607 first, then doing the assignment.
608 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
609 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
613 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).

623 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
624 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
625 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
626 require application-supplied positioning code though.
627 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
628 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
629 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
631 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
632 ------------------------
636 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
638 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource

674 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
675 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
679 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
681 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.

694 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
696 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
697 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for

700 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
701 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
703 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
704 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
705 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
706 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
710 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
711 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
712 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
713 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
714 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
715 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
716 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
717 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
718 allow better control of memory.
719 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
721 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
722 float to long in wxToolBar files.

725 ------------------------
729 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
730 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
731 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
732 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
733 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
734 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
735 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
736 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
737 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
738 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
739 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
740 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
742 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
743 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
744 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
745 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
746 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
747 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
748 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
749 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
750 internal implementation.
751 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
752 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
753 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
757 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
758 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
759 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
760 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
761 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
763 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
764 --------------------------
768 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
769 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
770 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
772 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
773 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
774 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
775 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
777 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
778 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
783 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
784 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
785 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
787 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
788 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
790 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
791 created dynamically, not as a global object.
792 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
793 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
794 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
795 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
797 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
798 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
799 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
800 added a few references to wxTransString.
801 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
802 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
803 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
804 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
805 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
806 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
807 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
808 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
809 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
812 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
813 --------------------------
817 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
818 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
819 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
820 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
821 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
822 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
823 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
824 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
825 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
826 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
827 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
829 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
830 to help printing with multiple pages.
831 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
832 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
833 implementation updated to use these base classes.
834 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
835 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
836 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
837 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
838 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
839 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
840 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
841 New files from Vadim:
847 src\common\string.cpp
851 No longer use GNU wxString files.
852 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
853 src\common\filefn.cpp.
854 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
855 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
856 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
857 including changes to defs.h.
858 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
860 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
862 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
863 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
865 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
867 Alpha 3, September 1997
868 -----------------------
872 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
873 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
874 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
875 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
876 - Started documentation.
878 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
879 ------------------------
883 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
884 with MetroWerks compiler.
885 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
886 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
887 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
888 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
889 for testing purposes.
890 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
892 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
893 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
895 - Added back wxRadioBox.
896 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
899 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
900 -----------------------
904 At this point, the following has been achieved:
906 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
907 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
908 wxString instead of char *.
909 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
910 old system event system) and code size reduced.
911 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
912 as wxbWindow now removed.
913 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
914 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
916 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
917 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
918 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
920 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
921 settings mucho rationalised.
922 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
923 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
925 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
926 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
927 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
928 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
929 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
930 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
932 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
933 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
935 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
936 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
937 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
938 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
939 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
940 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
941 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
942 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
943 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
944 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
946 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
947 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
949 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
950 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
951 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
952 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
953 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
954 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
956 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
957 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
958 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
959 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
960 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
961 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
