The Sizers have had some fundamental internal changes in the 2.5.2 - and 2.5.3 releases intended to make them do more of the "Right - Thing" but also be as backwards compatible as possible. First a bit - about how things used to work: - - * The size that a window had when Add()ed to the sizer was assumed - to be its minimal size, and that size would always be used by - default when calculating layout size and positions, and the - sizer itself would keep track of that minimal size. - - * If the window item was Add()ed with the wxADJUST_MINSIZE flag - then when layout was calculated the item's GetBestSize would be - used to reset the minimal size that the sizer used. - - The main thrust of the new Sizer changes was to make behaviour like - wxADJUST_MINSIZE be the default, and also to push the tracking of - the minimal size to the window itself (since it knows its own needs) - instead of having the sizer take care of it. Consequently these - changes were made: - - * The wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag was added to allow for the old - behaviour. When this flag is used the size a window has when - Add()ed to the sizer will be treated as its minimal size and it - will not be readjusted on each layout. - - * The min size stored in wxWindow and settable with SetSizeHints or - SetMinSize will by default be used by the sizer (if it was set) - as the minimal size of the sizer item. If the minsize was not - set (or was only partially set) then the window's best size is - fetched and it is used instead of (or blended with) the minsize. - wxWindow:GetBestFittingSize was added to facilitate getting the - size to be used by the sizers. - - * The best size of a window is cached so it doesn't need to - recalculated on every layout. wxWindow::InvalidateBestSize was - added and should be called (usually just internally in control - methods) whenever something is done that would make the best - size change. - - * All wxControls were changed to set the minsize to what is passed - to the constructor or Create method, and also to set the real - size of the control to the blending of the minsize and bestsize. - wxWindow::SetBestFittingSize was added to help with this, - although most controls don't need to call it directly because it - is called indirectly via the SetInitialSize called in the base - classes. - - 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); - - 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 - rather than the size set later. It is an easy fix though, just move - the specification of the size to the constructor (assuming that - SomeWidget will set its minsize there like the rest of the controls - do) or call SetMinSize instead of SetSize. - - In order to fit well with this new scheme of things, all wxControls - or custom controls should do the following things. (Depending on - how they are used you may also want to do the same thing for - non-control custom windows.) - - * Either override or inherit a meaningful DoGetBestSize method - that calculates whatever size is "best" for the control. Once - that size is calculated then there should normally be a call to - CacheBestSize to save it for later use, unless for some reason - you want the best size to be recalculated on every layout. - - * Any method that changes the attributes of the control such that - the best size will change should call InvalidateBestSize so it - will be recalculated the next time it is needed. - - * The control's constructor and/or Create method should ensure - that the minsize is set to the size passed in, and that the - control is sized to a blending of the min size and best size. - This can be done by calling SetBestFittingSize. - - - -- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are - now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code - from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit() -- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails -- finally the program exit code is OnRun() return value, not OnExit() one -- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead -- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon -- wxColourDatabase is not a wxList any more, use AddColour to add new colours -- wxWindow::Clear() is now called ClearBackground() -- pointer returned by wxFont::GetNativeFontInfo() must not be deleted now -- wxMouseEvent::Moving() doesn't return true if mouse is being dragged any more -- (most) controls now inherit parents colours by default, override - ShouldInheritColours() to return false if you don't want this to happen -- wxApp::SendIdleEvent() now takes 2 arguments -- wxTabView::GetLayers() changed return type from wxList& to wxTabLayerList& - (when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0) -- wxID_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2 -- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h -- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the - other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird - stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change -- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit. - Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows; - now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left. -- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the - 2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibility mode, - switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor. -- when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0 wxHashTable uses a new implementation - not using wxList keyed interface (the same used when wxUSE_STL == 1), - the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node* - instead of a wxNode*. -- non-const wxDC methods GetBackground(), GetBrush(), GetFont() and GetPen() - as well as wxWindow methods GetFont() and GetCursor() don't exist any more, - please fix your code -- it never worked correctly anyhow if you modified the - objects returned by these methods so you should simply switch to using const - methods. -- wxWindow::GetFont() now returns wxFont object instead of reference -- EVT_XXX macros are now type-safe; code that uses wrong type for event - handler's argument will no longer compile. -- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard, - wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter, Motif and MSW parsing native dialogs - is now accessible in ::wxParseCommonDialogsFilter -- 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 either wxFileOffset or wxFileSize_t 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 - - -DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x -============================== - -Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWidgets -versions, please update your code to not use them. - -- wxDocManager::GetNoHistoryFiles() renamed to GetHistoryFilesCount() -- wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow *), use Detach() instead [it is more clear] -- wxSizer::Set/GetOption(): use Set/GetProportion() instead -- wxKeyEvent::KeyCode(): use GetKeyCode instead -- wxList::Number, First, Last, Nth: use GetCount, GetFirst/Last, Item instead -- wxNode::Next, Previous, Data: use GetNext, GetPrevious, GetData instead -- wxListBase::operator wxList&(): use typesafe lists instead -- wxTheFontMapper: use wxFontMapper::Get() instead -- wxStringHashTable: use wxHashMap instead -- wxHashTableLong: use wxHashMap instead -- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWidgets - methods taking wxArrayString -- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead -- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used -- wxTreeCtrl::GetFirst/NextChild() 2nd argument now has type wxTreeItemIdValue - and not long, please change declarations of "cookie"s in your code - accordingly -- otherwise your code won't work on 64 bit platforms -- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and - SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles -- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead -- wxColourDatabase::FindColour(): use Find() instead (NB: different ret type) -- wxHashTable::Next: use wxHashTable::Node* or - wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return - value -- wxWave class; use wxSound instead -- The wxHIDE_READONLY flag for wxFileDialog was not implemented - and has now been removed -- wxTaskBarIcon::OnXXX() virtual methods: use events instead -- obsolete and not used wxUSE_GENERIC_DIALOGS_IN_MSW has been removed -- wxDbTable::wxDbTable with wxChar* deprecated, same with wxString& instead +2.7.0 +----- -OTHER CHANGES -============= +All: + +- wxLaunchDefaultBrowser() now supports wxBROWSER_NEW_WINDOW flag +- Added wxStringTokenizer::GetLastDelimiter(); improved documentation +- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated.
