your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
derived classes to use const reference as well.
+- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
+ Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
+
+- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
-
+
+ There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
+- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
+ have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
+ wxBitmapType in your code.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
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::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::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";
- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
-
+ There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
+ not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
+- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
+ different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
+ passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
+ 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.
