At this time, the only situation known not to work the same as
before is the following:
- win = new SomeWidget(parent);
- win->SetSize(SomeNonDefaultSize);
- sizer->Add(win);
+ win = new SomeWidget(parent);
+ win->SetSize(SomeNonDefaultSize);
+ sizer->Add(win);
In this case the old code would have used the new size as the
minimum, but now the sizer will use the default size as the minimum
- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard,
wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter, Motif and MSW parsing native dialogs
is now accessible in ::wxParseCommonDialogsFilter
-- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- the are no longer
+- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- they are no longer
needed, you can treat wxNotebook as any other control and put it directly
into the sizer that was wxNotebookSizer's parent sizer in old code.
-
+- wxFile methods now return wxFileOffset which may be a 64 bit integer type,
+ even on 32 bit platforms, instead of off_t and so the return value of
+ wxFile::Length(), for example, shouldn't be assigned to off_t variable any
+ more (the compiler might warn you about this).
+- wxListItem::m_data is now of type wxUIntPtr, not long, for compatibility
+ with 64 bit systems
