Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank. +Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in +wxFlexGridSizer. Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky Added wxBufferedDC. -Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45 +Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45, and then again +to version 1.47, and one more time to 1.48! UNICODE! + wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or + disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always + used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if + it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently + wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with + the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until + it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well. + + Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows + family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the + same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is + done by using a special library and DLL with the application + called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of + the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a + win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode + versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get + this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but + wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the + unicode build on win95. + + So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled, + then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString + from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and + parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can + accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string + object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the + converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default + system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other + encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python + codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython + method. + +Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra. + +Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons. + +Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter. + +A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or +whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object +to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to +crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++ +pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the +Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever +a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works +for any class that is OOR aware. + +Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor, +wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their +derived classes. + +Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of +the image data. (Patch #546009) + +Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++ +application. + +Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their +wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual +methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods +supported are: + + DoMoveWindow + DoSetSize + DoSetClientSize + DoSetVirtualSize + DoGetSize + DoGetClientSize + DoGetPosition + DoGetVirtualSize + DoGetBestSize + InitDialog + TransferDataFromWindow + TransferDataToWindow + Validate + AcceptsFocus + AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard + GetMaxSize + AddChild + RemoveChild + + If there are other methods that you think should be supported + please let me know. + +Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload +DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus. + +Added wxArtProvider. + +Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function +(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there +are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do +something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The +implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py. + +Fixed a boatload of reference leaks. + +Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect +creating a ScrolledPanel. + +Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and +other menu stuff. + +Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the +ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in +C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and +so it is less fragile in the face of changes. + +Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com +modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a +transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving +tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after +win32com got rid of the temporary tstate... + +Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is +so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can +respond to mouse events and etc. + +Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1 +on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise. + +Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to +import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the +tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the +tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to +easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be +started with just the "pycrust" command. + +Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and +displays the details of the event. + +Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage. + +Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers +for nonstandard class types in XRC resources.
