4 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
5 ================================
7 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
8 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
9 with '!' in the first column.
11 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
12 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
13 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
14 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
20 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
21 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
24 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
25 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
26 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
27 arrays containing non-pointers.
29 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
30 simply don't make sense for all objects
32 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
33 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
34 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
36 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
38 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
39 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
40 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
41 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
42 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
44 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
45 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
46 the default assert handling.
51 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
52 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
53 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
55 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
56 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
59 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
60 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
61 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
63 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
64 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
65 you want to get OnChar() as well
67 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
68 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
69 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
70 will *NOT* work any longer:
72 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
75 ... do something else ...
77 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
79 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
80 if you derived any classes from it
82 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
83 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
85 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
86 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
88 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
89 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
91 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
92 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
95 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
96 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
97 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
102 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
103 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
104 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
105 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
106 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
107 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
110 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
113 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
114 previously selected one instead of replacing it
116 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
117 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
118 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
120 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
121 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
126 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
127 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
128 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
129 to compile pure C files.
132 wxThread and related classes:
134 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
135 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
136 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
137 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
139 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
140 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
141 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
142 (i.e. absense of race conditions) using the old API.
144 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
145 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
146 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
148 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
149 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
160 - wxSemaphore class added, many fixed to wxCondition and wxThread (K.S. Sreeram)
161 - fixes to the command line parsing error and usage messages
162 - modified wxFileName::CreateTempFileName() to open the file atomically
163 (if possible) and, especially, not to leak the file descriptors under Unix
164 - memory leak in wxHTTP fixed (Dimitri)
165 - fixes to AM_PATH_WXCONFIG autoconf macro

169 - wxLocale can now load message catalogs in arbitrary encoding
170 - fixed the bug related to the redrawing on resize introduced in 2.3.2
171 - added static wxFontMapper::Get() accessor (use of wxTheFontMapper is now
173 - added wxShutdown() function (Marco Cavallini)
177 - wxWindows may be built using BSD and Solaris (and possibly other) make
178 programs and not only GNU make
179 - wxTCP-based IPC classes now support communicating over Unix domain sockets
180 - wxWindows may be built as a dynamic shared library under Darwin / Mac OS X
181 lazy linking issues have been solved by linking a single module (.o) into
182 the shared library (two step link using distrib/mac/shared-ld-sh)
186 - it is now possible to set the icons of different sizes for frames (e.g. a
187 small and big ones) using the new wxIconBundle class

745 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
746 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
747 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
748 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
749 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
750 crashes for some reason).
751 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
752 of malloc, which causes memory problems).
756 - Further doc improvements.
757 - wxGenericValidator added.
758 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers

814 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
816 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
817 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
819 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
821 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
822 --------------------------
828 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
831 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
832 ----------------------------
836 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
837 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
838 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
839 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
840 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
842 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
843 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
848 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
849 without (permanently) resizing the window.
850 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
851 that disabled scrollbar paging.
852 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
854 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
855 when any button was pressed.
856 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
857 have a white background.
858 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
859 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
860 they have sensible colours by default.
861 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
862 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
863 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).

865 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
867 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
868 ----------------------------
872 - More documentation updates, especially for
873 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
874 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
876 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
877 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
878 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
880 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
884 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
885 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
887 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
888 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
889 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
890 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
891 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
892 the debugging implementation.
893 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
894 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
895 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
896 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
897 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
898 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
899 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
901 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
903 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
904 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
905 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
906 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
907 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
908 - wxNotebook almost done.
909 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
910 to vertical toolbars).
914 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
916 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
917 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
918 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
920 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
921 ----------------------------
925 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
927 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
928 - A few more makefiles added.
929 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
930 - Further doc updates.
931 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
935 - First start at Motif port.
936 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
937 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
938 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
939 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
941 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
942 --------------------------
947 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
948 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
949 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
950 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
951 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
952 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
953 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
955 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
956 ------------------------
960 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
961 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
962 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
963 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
964 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
965 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
966 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
968 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
970 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
971 -----------------------
975 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
976 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
977 Windows functions, for efficiency.
978 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
979 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
981 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
982 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
984 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
985 -----------------------
989 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
990 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
992 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
993 -----------------------
997 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
998 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
1000 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
1001 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
1002 wxMenuItem accessors.
1003 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
1004 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
1005 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
1006 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
1007 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
1008 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
1009 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
1010 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
1011 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
1012 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
1013 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
1014 first, then doing the assignment.
1015 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
1016 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
1020 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
1021 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
1023 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
1024 ----------------------
1028 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
1029 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
1030 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
1031 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
1032 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
1033 require application-supplied positioning code though.
1034 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
1035 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
1036 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
1038 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
1039 ------------------------
1043 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
1045 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1046 compilation and pragmas.
1047 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
1048 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
1052 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
1053 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1054 compilation and pragmas.
1055 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
1057 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
1058 ------------------------
1062 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
1063 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
1065 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
1066 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
1067 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
1068 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
1070 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
1071 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
1072 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
1074 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
1075 compatibility functions.
1076 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
1077 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
1078 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
1079 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
1080 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
1081 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
1082 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
1086 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
1087 - Added samples/png.
1088 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
1089 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
1091 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
1093 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
1094 ------------------------
1098 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1099 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
1100 cleaned up properly before exit.
1101 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
1103 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
1104 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
1105 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
1107 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
1108 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
1110 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
1111 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
1112 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
1113 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
1117 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1118 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
1119 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
1120 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
1121 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
1122 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
1123 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
1124 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
1125 allow better control of memory.
1126 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
1128 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
1129 float to long in wxToolBar files.
1131 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
1132 ------------------------
1136 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
1137 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
1138 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
1139 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
1140 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
1141 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
1142 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
1143 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
1144 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
1145 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
1146 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
1147 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
1149 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
1150 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
1151 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
1152 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
1153 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
1154 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
1155 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
1156 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
1157 internal implementation.
1158 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
1159 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
1160 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
1164 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
1165 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
1166 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
1167 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
1168 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
1170 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
1171 --------------------------
1175 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1176 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1177 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
1179 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
1180 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
1181 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
1182 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
1184 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
1185 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
1190 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1191 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1192 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
1194 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
1195 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
1197 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
1198 created dynamically, not as a global object.
1199 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
1200 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
1201 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
1202 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
1203 - Added gcc pragmas.
1204 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
1205 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
1206 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
1207 added a few references to wxTransString.
1208 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
1209 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
1210 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
1211 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
1212 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
1213 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
1214 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
1215 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
1216 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
1219 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
1220 --------------------------
1224 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
1225 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
1226 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
1227 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
1228 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
1229 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
1230 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
1231 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
1232 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
1233 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
1234 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
1236 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
1237 to help printing with multiple pages.
1238 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
1239 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
1240 implementation updated to use these base classes.
1241 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
1242 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
1243 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
1244 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
1245 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
1246 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
1247 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
1248 New files from Vadim:
1254 src\common\string.cpp
1258 No longer use GNU wxString files.
1259 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
1260 src\common\filefn.cpp.
1261 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
1262 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
1263 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
1264 including changes to defs.h.
1265 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
1267 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
1269 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
1270 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
1272 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
1274 Alpha 3, September 1997
1275 -----------------------
1279 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
1280 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
1281 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
1282 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
1283 - Started documentation.
1285 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
1286 ------------------------
1290 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
1291 with MetroWerks compiler.
1292 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
1293 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
1294 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
1295 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
1296 for testing purposes.
1297 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
1299 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
1300 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
1302 - Added back wxRadioBox.
1303 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
1306 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
1307 -----------------------
1311 At this point, the following has been achieved:
1313 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
1314 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
1315 wxString instead of char *.
1316 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
1317 old system event system) and code size reduced.
1318 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
1319 as wxbWindow now removed.
1320 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
1321 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
1323 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
1324 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
1325 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
1327 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
1328 settings mucho rationalised.
1329 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
1330 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
1332 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
1333 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
1334 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
1335 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
1336 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
1337 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
1339 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
1340 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
1342 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
1343 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
1344 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
1345 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
1346 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
1347 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
1348 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
1349 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
1350 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
1351 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
1353 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
1354 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
1356 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
1357 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
1358 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
1359 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
1360 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
1361 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
1363 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
1364 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
1365 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
1366 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
1367 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
1368 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
