wxMSW-2.8.12

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wxWidgets Change Log ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x ================================ Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made to read _past_ the end of file. - wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not if the whole name is a directory. - wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual. - wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted. - wxArray::Alloc() now works as reserve() and does not clear the array any more - Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case. - wxInputStream::GetC() now returns an int in the range 0 - 255 on success instead of a char the range -128 - 127. Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors ----------------------------------------------------------- - Some classes (notably wxBitmap and wxImage) don't define operator==() as it used to work in somewhat unexpected way as it compared only internal pointers and not the object data. The code using it will have to be updated: * If the object was compared with wxNullXXX, use IsOk() method instead * If valid object need to be compared, use IsSameAs() to reproduce the old behaviour or change the code to avoid comparing bitmaps &c. - wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour. - wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't even compile). - wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon. - wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return length of the converted string in all cases now. - wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool. - wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to use ProcessMouseClick(). - wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to use GetMouseCursor(). - wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you override it. - wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and not pointers to arrays. - SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow - wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId() - wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more - wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more. As a consequence, the class interface changed largely. Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though. Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements ----------------------------------------------------- - wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd(). - wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, don't use them. - wxWindowBase::GetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::GetEffectiveMinSize. - wxWindowBase::SetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::SetInitialSize. - Seeking on a zip stream returned from wxFileSystem without using the new wxFS_SEEKABLE flags is deprecated. You can still seek, but use the flag. - Constructor wxZipInputStream(const wxString& archive, const wxString& file) deprecated in favour of wxFileSystem (other zip ctors are not deprecated). - wx{Dir|File}Dialog::{Set|Get}Style deprecated in favour of the generic wxWindow::{Set|Get}WindowStyle() Major new features in 2.8 release --------------------------------- - New AUI library supporting docking windows and much more. - New rich text control library implementing a generic wxRichTextCtrl, using only the wxWidgets API. Also includes formatting dialogs, conversion to HTML, and printing classes. - New wxComboCtrl class giving the ability to create custom, graphical comboboxes. Associated classes include wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup and wxBitmapComboBox. - Further functionality including wxAnimationCtrl (moved from contrib/src/anim and enhanced), wxSimpleHtmlListBox, wxHyperlinkCtrl, wxColourPickerCtrl, wxDirPickerCtrl, wxFilePickerCtrl, wxFontPickerCtrl, wxCollapsiblePane, wxSearchCtrl, wxAboutBox, wxTreebook, tar streams. 2.8.12: ------- All: - Fixed a bug in UNC path testing. - Improved command line parser usage help. - Fixed race condition bugs in wxCondition. - Added wxT_2() for forward compatibility with wxWidgets 3. Use it in initialization of wxCmdLineEntryDesc struct elements and (very few) other places where wxT() is required currently but won't be allowed in v3. - Fixed crash on exit caused by deleting old logger in wxLogChain dtor. All (GUI): - wxRTC: fixed style selection resetting after editing a style. - wxRTC: can now edit line spacing in .1 increments from 1 to 2. - wxRTC: fixed wrong line spacing and space after paragraph calculations. - wxRTC: GetStyleMergedWithBase now detects loops. - wxRTC: wxRichTextCtrl::ApplyStyle now applies a paragraph style at the cursor without needing a selection, and setting the default style now avoids duplicating character attributes in subsequently typed text when they exist in the paragraph style. - wxRTC: fixed IsPositionVisible to scroll a position into view correctly. - wxRTC: fixed a problem with paste resetting the content paragraph style. - wxRTC: style list box now copes with names duplicated across style types. Also fixed wxRichTextStyleDefinition::GetStyleMergeWithBase similarly. - wxRTC: fixed very poor performance for XML loading on wxGTK. - Fixed error in generic tree control CalculatePositions. - Added wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST to wxFileSelector function. - Added wxDataViewCtrl Get/SetValueByRow functions for forward compatibility with 2.9. - Right-clicking is now supported in any kind of wxAuiToolBar button. - Fixed a bug in wxAcceleratorEntry::IsOk. - wxGraphicsContext::DrawBitmap: x and y coordinates no longer affected by stretch factor. - Fixed an assert in wxGrid on wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST. - Fixed bug in generic wxTreeCtrl where SelectItem toggles the selection if the item is already in the desired state. - Fixed bug in wxSizer::Replace(size_t, wxSizerItem *) whereby SetContainingSizer is not called. - Fixed compilation with libpng 1.5 and above. - Removed ugly black (simple) border around wxHTML help window. wxMSW: - wxOwnerDrawnComboBox and wxComboCtrl with wxCB_READONLY window style now have more native-like focus indicator rendering. - Fixed wxOwnerDrawnComboBox keyboard handling: drop-down is no longer displayed when arrow key is pressed (without Alt). - In some rare cases wxOwnerDrawnComboBox drop-down animation could display as garbage. This has now been greatly reduced (mcben). - Fixed OLE date conversion bug. - Added check for double window handle creation. - Fixed WIN64 crash in wxStyledTextCtrl. - Fixed Watcom compilation when omitting threads. - Fixed wxFileName::IsFileReadable on Windows 98. - Fixed bug whereby clicking anywhere inside wxListBox generates wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event. You need to set wxUSE_LISTBOX_SELECTION_FIX to 1 in include/wx/msw/listbox.h to enable this binary-incompatible fix. wxGTK: - Fix for --disable-radiobtn compilation. - Fixed a bug on GTK+ only whereby wxGrid scrolls back to the previous edit position when another cell is edited. - Fix for missing menubar problem under some window managers where menu bar height is reported as 0 when the menu hasn't fu
