(The +reasons are long and complex, but suffice it to say that it was due to +mixing C++'s dynamic dispatch, and Python's runtime lookup of the +method attributes resulting in endless recursion of function calls.) +Because of this problem I used a hack that I have always hated, and +that is renaming the base class methods with a "base_" prefix, for +example wx.Printout.base_OnBeginDocument. Now that the problem has +finally been solved I have replaced all the base_Whatever() methods +with the real Whatever() method as well as a simple wrapper named +base_Whatever that is marked as deprecated. So now instead of writing +your overridden methods like this:: + + def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end) + +You can now call the base class method the normal way, like this:: + + def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end) + +Or like this with super():: + + def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end) + + +Note that the old way with the "base_" function still works, but you +will get a DeprecationWarning from calling base_OnBeginDocument. The +classes affected by this are: + + * wx.DropSource + * wx.DropTarget + * wx.TextDropTarget + * wx.FileDropTarget + * wx.PyLog (also added the ability to override Flush) + * wx.PyApp (also added the ability to override ExitMainLoop) + * wx.Printout + * wx.PyPrintPreview + * wx.PyPreviewFrame + * wx.PreviewControlBar + * wx.Process + * wx.PyControl + * wx.PyPanel + * wx.PyScrolledWindow + * wx.PyWindow + * wx.Timer + * wx.grid.PyGridCellRenderer + * wx.grid.PyGridCellEditor + * wx.grid.PyGridCellAttrProvider + * wx.grid.PyGridTableBase + * wx.html.HtmlWindow + * wx.wizard.PyWizardPage + + +Added the wx.DC.GradientFillConcentric and wx.DC.GradientFillLinear +methods. + +wxGTK: wx.ListBox and wx.CheckListBox are now using native GTK2 +widgets. + +Added wx.ListBox.HitTest() from patch 1446207 + +Bumped up to SWIG 1.3.29. This provides some more runtime performance +boosts, gets rid of the dreaded Ptr classes, and some other nice new +things. + +Added wx.Window.GetScreenPosition and GetScreenRect which returns the +position of the window in screen coordinates, even if the window is +not a top-level window. + +Added GetResourcesDir and GetLocalizedResourcesDir to +wx.StandardPaths. + +Added a GetReceivedFormat method to wx.DataObjectComposite. You can +use this to find out what format of data object was recieved from the +source of the clipboard or DnD operation, and then you'll know which +of the component data objects to use to access the data. + +Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.) +are initialized. They are now created after the wx.App has been +created, but before OnInit is called, so if you use any of these +objects before the wx.App is created you will need to adjust your +code. This was needed because of some delayed initialization +functionality that was implemented in wxWidgets, but the end result is +cleaner for wxPython as well, and allowed me to remove some ugly code +previously hidden under the covers. + +Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir. + +Added wx.RendererNative.DrawCheckButton. + +wx.ProgressDialog.Update now returns a tuple of two values. The first +is a continue flag (what was returned before) and the second is a skip +flag. If the dialog has the wx.PD_CAN_SKIP flag and if the Skip +button is clicked, then the skip flag is set to True the next time +Update is called. + + + + + +2.6.3.2 +------- +* 3-April-2006 + +Fixed reference leak in wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections. + +wxMSW: Fixed sizing issue with wx.Choice and wx.ComboBox. This change +was implemented by reverting a prior fix for a different problem +(contiuous painting/resizing when a combobox is used as a widget in a +wx.html.HtmlWindow) so a method to fix both problems is still being +investigated. + +wxGTK: Fixed potential buffer overrun when pasting from the +clipboard. + +Fixed problem in wx.lib.splitter when used on 64-bit platforms. Used +the current length of the list for specifying an append instead of +sys.maxint. + +wxMSW: Support added for XP themed owner drawn buttons and bitmap +buttons. For example, if you change the foreground color of a button +it will now be drawn with the XP themed style rather than an ugly +generic button style. + +XRCed: Fix for Copy/Paste objects with international characters. + +Fixed the equality and inequality operators for some of the basic +data types (wx.Point, wx.Size, wx.Colour, etc.) to no longer raise a +TypeError if the compared object is not compatible, but to just return +a boolean as expected. For example:: + + wx.Colour(64,0,64) == 123 ==> False + +wxMSW: Fixed (again) sizing/positioning issues of calling Realize on +a wx.ToolBar that is not manaaged directly by a frame and that is +already shown. + +wxMSW: Fixed wx.Choice/wx.ComboBox so they send events when a new item +is selected only with the keyboard. + + + +2.6.3.0 +------- +* 27-March-2006 + +Change the wx.ListCtrl InsertStringItem wrapper to use the form that +takes an imageIndex, and set the default to -1. This ensures that on +wxMSW that if there is an image list but they don't specify an image, +the native control doesn't use one anyway. + +wxMSW: wx.ListCtrl in report mode is now able to support images in +other columns besides the first one. Simply pass an image index to +SetStringItem. For virtual list controls you can specify the image to +use on the extra columns by overriding OnGetItemColumnImage in your +derived class. It is passed the item number and the column number as +parameters, and the default version simply calls OnGetItemImage for +column zero, or returns -1 for other columns. + +Switched to using SWIG 1.3.27 for generating the wrapper code. There +are some small changes needed to SWIG to work around some bugs that +wxPython exposes, and to be able to generate code that matches that +which wxPython is using. If you are building wxPython yourself and +need to modify any of the \*.i files or to add your own, then you will +want to be sure to use a matching SWIG. See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt +in the source tarball for details. + +wx.Image.Copy, Mirror, and GetSubImage now also do the right thing +with the alpha channel. + +wxMSW: Fixed problem in wx.TextCtrl where using SetValue and +wx.TE_RICH2 would cause the control to be shown if it was hidden. + +wxMSW: Numpad special keys are now distinguished from normal keys in +key events. + +wxMSW: Multiline notebook tab label change now resizes the control +correctly if an extra row is removed or added. + +wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation +not available in the themed version. + +Added wx.Toolbar.GetToolsCount. + +Added wx.GridSizer.CalcRowsCols. + +Added wx.OutputStream.LastWrite. + +wxGTK: EVT_SET_CURSOR is now sent. + +wxGTK: Fix RequestMore for idle events. + +wxGTK: Implement user dashes for PS and GNOME printing. + +wxGTK: Correct update region code. Don't always invalidate the whole +window upon resize. Reenable support for thewx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE +flag. Also disable refreshing custom controls when focusing in and out. + +wx.lib.pubsub: Publisher is now able to parse a dotted notation string +into a topic tuple. For example: subscribing to "timer.clock.seconds" +is the same as subscribing to ("timer", "clock", "seconds"). + +Applied patch #1441370: lib.plot - allow passing in wx.Colour() + +Added wx.CommandEvent.GetClientData. + +Updated wxStyledTextCtrl to use version 1.67 of Scintilla. +NOTE: The STC_LEX_ASP and STC_LEX_PHP lexers have been deprecated, +you should use STC_LEX_HTML instead. + +wxSTC: Implemented Fix for SF Bug #1436503.
