the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
+Table of contents of this section:
+
+ - Unicode-related changes
+ - wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
+ - Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors
+ - Build system changes
+ - Major new features in this release
+
Unicode-related changes
-----------------------
or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+- wxDialogs get wxEVT_SIZE events immediately after creation in wxMSW, as with
+ wxFrames. This means that this event handler may be called earlier than in
+ 2.8, check that all the controls are initialized before using them in it.
+
- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
currently running instances of this object are available.
+- Signature of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::StartDrag() virtual method changed.
+ You will need to change it in your derived renderer class too if you override
+ it.
+
+- wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate() and LeftClick() were replaced with the
+ new ActivateCell() method. You will need to change it in your derived
+ renderer class accordingly.
+
+- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
+ waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
+ with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
+ default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
+ release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
+ on this behaviour.
+
+- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
+ prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
+ handling of the window that captured the mouse.
+
+- wxDataViewCtrl::GetSelection() now returns invalid item in all ports (this
+ behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
+ is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
+
+- wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, MENU_OPEN and CLOSE events returned a menu from
+ GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
+ Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
+- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 still exists but is 0 by default in this release and
+ will be removed in 3.2. You can set it to 1 and rebuild wxWidgets to access
+ the old and deprecated symbols but please consider updating your code
+ instead. Here are replacements for some of the obsolete symbols:
+ + wxSAVE and wxOPEN -> wxFD_SAVE and wxFD_OPEN
+ + WXK_PRIOR and WXK_NEXT -> WXK_PAGEUP and WXK_PAGEDOWN
+ + wxRESIZE_BOX -> wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
+ + wxTHICK_FRAME -> wxRESIZE_BORDER
+ + wxPROCESS_ENTER and wxPASSWORD -> wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER and wxTE_PASSWORD
+ + EVT_SCROLL_ENDSCROLL -> EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
+ + NewControlId -> wxWindow::NewControlId()
+ + wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles() -> wxFileHistory::GetCount()
+ + wxSizerItem::SetOption() -> wxSizerItem::SetProportion()
+ + wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow*) -> wxSizer::Detach()
+
- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
+- wxDateTime::ParseXXX() overloads don't return anything when called with
+ wxCStrData argument. If you need to test the parsing success, use a newer
+ overload taking wxString::const_iterator and returning bool or explicitly
+ select a narrow or wide char version to use by casting c_str() to either
+ "char*" or "wchar_t*". Or create a temporary wxString and parse it instead.
+
- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
-- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
-- wxList::Member() now returns book and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
use Find() instead.
just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
concatenate with it.
+- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
+
+- wxComboBox::IsEmpty(), which was previously available in some ports (but not
+ wxMSW), doesn't exist any more, use either IsListEmpty() or IsTextEmpty().
+
+- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctors and Create() now have 2 overloaded versions: one
+ taking void** client data and the deprecated one taking char**. This can
+ result in compilation errors due to an ambiguity between them if you pass
+ NULL as client data. To fix this, cast NULL explicitly to "void**".
+
+- wxChoicebookEvent, wxListbookEvent, wxNotebookEvent, wxToolbookEvent and
+ wxTreebookEvent are now all synonyms for wxBookCtrlEvent. The existing code
+ using the old names continues to work but they can't be forward-declared
+ any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
+ it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
was never used anyhow.
+- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctor and Create() take "void**" client data pointer
+ instead of "char**". As the client data is typically untyped, you should
+ simply remove the casts to "char**" which you probably have in your code if
+ you use these functions.
+- wxDataViewCtrl::StartEditor(item, n) taking column index is now deprecated,
+ use EditItem(item, GetColumn(n)), which takes the column itself, instead.
+- wxWindow::MakeModal() is deprecated, use wxDialog::ShowModal() instead if
+ possible or wxWindowDisabler otherwise.
+
+
+Changes in behaviour visible to end users
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
+ could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
+ now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
+
+
+Build system changes
+--------------------
+
+- In wxMSW makefile builds, "_x64" is used instead of "_amd64" when compiling
+ for this architecture in the architecture-specific paths and library names.
+ TARGET_CPU can still be specified as "amd64" for compatibility but "x64"
+ should be used now.
+
+- Official wxMSW binaries, i.e. those built with OFFICIAL_BUILD=1, built with
+ MSVC now include the version of the compiler used and the architecture if
+ it's not the default "x86". E.g. a library built with MSVC 10 for amd64 is
+ called "wxbase294ud_vc110_amd64.dll" now.
