This patch implements three new flags for the
wxTextCtrl control. The flags are wxTE_LEFT,
wxTE_CENTRE, and wxTE_RIGHT. These flags can change
the way text is aligned inside an edit control, which
is useful when the user is editing numbers or dates.
At Vadim's recommendation, the patch implements the
alignment flags so they are equal to the corresponding
wxALIGN_* value. wxTE_LEFT is actually 0x0000, and is
just a place holder. wxTE_CENTRE is equal to
wx_ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL (0x0100), and wxTE_RIGHT is
equal to wxALIGN_RIGHT (0x0100). I couldn't agree more
with this idea.
As Vadim pointed out, choosing to set the text
alignment flags to the corresponding wxALIGN_* flags
has a slight negative side effect: the values 0x0100
and 0x0200 collide with the existing flags
wxTE_NO_VSCROLL and wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL. A valid point
was raised, however, which stated that the flags would
never really be used at the same time, and also that
wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL is (possibly) going to be deprecated
anyway.
While this collision is not really a problem, I didn't
like the idea of someone specifying wxTE_NO_VSCROLL and
ending up with with a centered text control ! Thus, I
chose to move both wxTE_NO_VSCROLL and wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL
down to the free bits 0x0002 and 0x0008, respectively.
I'll leave the final say up to Vadim and the rest of
you whether you want to move these flags down or keep
them where they are (with collisions). What truly
matters to me is that I can now create text controls
with the proper alignment!
This patch also updates the documentation.

The attached patch completely fixes the flicker problem when
creating combo boxes. It also will make it elementary to
remove flicker during the creation of other controls
(although all the other controls are flicker free, AFAIK).
It does this by adding an optional 'visible' parameter to
the internal MSWCreateControl method, whereby the caller can
create a control invisibly by default, perform some
complicated sizing calculations, and then finally show the
control before the Create finished.

- This patch implements a generic notebook based mdi,
due to that wxMDIChildFrame could not derive from
wxFrame some things in the samples and in the docmdi
classes needed to be adjusted... basically this comes
down to not do (wxFrame *) but instead do
(wxMDIChildFrame *), or store a pointer to the frame in a
wxWindow* instead of a wxFrame variable...
- The main reason wxMDIChildFrame cannot derive from
wxFrame is that it would take to much platform specific
functions to be overwritten (= lot of ifdef's). This then
couldn't be called generic anymore, so that's why we
need to derive from wxPanel...
- Tested on/with:
1. wxMSW (I disabled the MSW MDI implementation to
be able to test it), tested it with the MDI sample,
docvwmdi sample and docview sample and also tested it
with wxWorkshop. (test = compile and run)
2. wxX11, tested with the same set wxWin samples as
the wxMSW test. I also compiled wxWorkshop with it,
but could not run wxWorkshop due to some issue not
related to the MDI implementation.
- How to apply:
* Apply the patch
* move mdig.cpp into wxWindows/src/generic/
* move mdig.h into wxWindows/include/wx/generic/
- Some extra things that still need to be done:
* File lists, project files should be updated to include
mdig.cpp (the patch only change this on wxX11)
* The configuration script should be updated.
* Maybe wxUSE_GENERIC_MDI_ARCHITECTURE also
should be added so it is only included when wanted...
