Added - wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention. -- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource. -- ENTER/LEAVE events now work. -- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted. -- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess. -- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack, - then went out of scope, then another object was selected into - the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment - to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first - being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object - first, then doing the assignment. -- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95 -- Various other bug fixes and additions. - -Alpha 10, May 7th 1998 ----------------------- - -- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler - and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of - icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing. -- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames. -- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still - require application-supplied positioning code though. -- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files - for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp - change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default. - -Alpha 9, April 27th 1998 ------------------------- - -- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple - fields were used. -- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource - compilation and pragmas. -- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to - commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand. - -Alpha 8, April 17th 1998 ------------------------- - -- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not. -- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for - some reason :-( -- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo. -- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function. -- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition - of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows - startup/exit. -- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples - makefile.m95 files, and install.txt). -- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate. -VADIM'S CHANGES: -- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some - compatibility functions. -- Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget. -- file.h: new wxTempFile class. -- defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95 -- statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control. -- registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry. -- listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes. -- wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes. - -Alpha 7, March 30th 1998 ------------------------- - -- Added tab classes, tab sample. -- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be - cleaned up properly before exit. -- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders - automatically. -- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu. -- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for - memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for - unresolved issues. -- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar) - to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar - tray area. -- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same - application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings. -- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++). -- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames. - -Alpha 6, March 10th 1998 ------------------------- - -- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion. -- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5. -- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will - check if the number of top-level windows is zero before - exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either - m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you - don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow. -- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim). -- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample - added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp, - wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage. - Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for - IUnknown. - Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup. -- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain - Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample. -- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes. -- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample. - Doesn't entirely work for WIN16. -- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It - can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for - internal implementation. -- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS - in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource - binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash. - -Alpha 5, 14th February 1998 ---------------------------- - -- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE - DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to - the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic - changes. -- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI - resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal - advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system. -- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works - again. -- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation. -- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in - e.g. wxDC. - -Alpha 4, 31st January 1998 --------------------------- - -- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes - integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize. -- const keyword added to various wxDC functions. -- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether - an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device - origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC. -- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw - function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to - OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling. - When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly. -- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for - scrolling toolbars. -- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze, - to help printing with multiple pages. -- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which - define the API used by different implementations. DDE - implementation updated to use these base classes. -- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base - for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard - WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or - TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as - wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help. -- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus - internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.). - New files from Vadim: - include\wx\string.h - include\wx\debug.h - include\wx\file.h - include\wx\log.h - include\wx\intl.h - src\common\string.cpp - src\common\log.cpp - src\common\intl.cpp - src\common\file.cpp - No longer use GNU wxString files. -- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and - src\common\filefn.cpp. -- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and - samples, using makefile.b32 files. -- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL, - including changes to defs.h. -- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint - introduced. -- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or - hidden). -- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and - cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory - trick). -- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples. - -Alpha 3, September 1997 ------------------------ - -- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done. -- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically. -- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library. -- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog. -- Started documentation. - -Alpha 2, 30th April 1997 ------------------------- - -- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance - with MetroWerks compiler. -- Added ids to .wxr file format. -- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need - to extend functionality to be in line with new controls. - Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files - for testing purposes. -- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type - handlers. -- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa. -- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it - fully). -- Added back wxRadioBox. -- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in - a separate file. - -Alpha 1, 5th April 1997 ------------------------ - -At this point, the following has been achieved: - -- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better - naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of - wxString instead of char *. -- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout, - old system event system) and code size reduced. -- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such - as wxbWindow now removed. -- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in - Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND. -- PrologIO revised. -- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added. - MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles. -- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard - Windows settings. -- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour - settings mucho rationalised. -- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make - event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived - classes removed. -- API for controls revised, in particular addition of - wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls. -- 1 validator written: see examples/validate. -- Event table system introduced (see most samples and - wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler - made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain - of event handlers. -- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon. -- Toolbar class hierarchy revised: - wxToolBarBase - wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar) - wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95 - wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32) -- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly). -- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now - have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs - rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout. -- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs - an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system - will be replaced by something better and more efficient - in the future. -- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed - with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack - variables instead. -- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag - determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags - introduced, e.g. for showing ticks. -- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for - any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows. -- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under - Win95. -- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new - classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove - the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2. -- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView) - in preparation for use in Dialog Editor. -- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago). - -
