GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
more details.
+- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
+ Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
+ or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
+ See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
-- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it
- instead of correct GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent(). New ProcessWindowEvent()
- was added for convenience.
+- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
+ has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
+ GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
+ New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
+- Now wxWidgets at startup in debug builds checks if all wxEvent-derived classes
+ correctly implement the Clone() function, logging a warning if they don't.
+ A correct implementation for MyCustomEventClass::Clone() is simply:
+ virtual wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyCustomEventClass(*this); }
+
+- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
+ You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
+ locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
"Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
-- wxMenuItem::GetLabel has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabelText
-- wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel
-- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
-- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel

- respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a plain "int style";
- use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead
- of the old deprecated wxXXX styles (which however are still available).
+- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
+ named new versions:
+ . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()

+ . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
+ . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
+- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
+ ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
+ plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
+ and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
code.
- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
-- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been deprecated in favour of wxThreadHelper::CreateThread
- which has a better name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
-
+- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
+ name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
+- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
+ wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
+ were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
+- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
+ documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
+- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
+ the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
