|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>8-Jan-2006</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Added EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK and use it to show taskbar icon menu on right
|
||
button release, not press, under MSW (bug 1623761)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTreeCtrl::CollapseAll[Children]() and IsEmpty() methods;
|
||
documented wxTreeItemId (patch 1622125)</p>
|
||
<p>Fix wxMDIChidFrame::GetPosition() (patch 1626610)</p>
|
||
<p>Fix attribute memory leak in wxGrid::ShowCellEditControl() (patch
|
||
1629949)</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Fix for controls on a toolbar being the full height of the
|
||
toolbar instead of their natural height.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.customtreectrl patches from Andrea Gavana.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac: Applied patch #1622389, fixing two memory leaks in
|
||
GetPartialTextExtents.</p>
|
||
<p>More fixes for the native wx.ListCtrl on Mac.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.aui.AuiNotebook.GetAuiManager().</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.aui.AuiMDIParentFrame and wx.aui.AuiMDIChildFrame, which
|
||
essentially implement the MDI interface using a normal wx.Frame and a
|
||
wx.aui.AuiNotebook.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h1><a id="id2" name="id2">2.8.0.1</a></h1>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>11-Dec-2006</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Lots of fixes and updates to the AUI classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.CollapsiblePane. On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget,
|
||
on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the
|
||
collapsed/expanded state.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup
|
||
classes. These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like
|
||
widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you
|
||
have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well.
|
||
It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing
|
||
the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX...</p>
|
||
<p>Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates
|
||
the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to
|
||
overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox
|
||
works.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a
|
||
bitmap in front of the list items.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module. It contains the InspectMixin
|
||
class which can be mixed with a wx.App class and provides a PyCrust
|
||
window that can be activated with a Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I
|
||
on the Mac.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added some modules from Riaan Booysen:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>wx.lib.flagart: contains icons of the flags of many countries.</li>
|
||
<li>wx.lib.art.img2pyartprov: makes images embedded in a python file
|
||
with img2py available via the wx.ArtProvider.</li>
|
||
<li>wx.lib.langlistctrl: A wx.ListCtrl for selecting a language,
|
||
which uses the country flag icons.</li>
|
||
<li>An I18N sample for the demo.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.masked: Patch from Will Sadkin. Includes Unicode fixes, plus
|
||
more helpful exceptions and ability to designate fields in mask
|
||
without intervening fixed characters.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional
|
||
bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu. Controls like this can typically
|
||
be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search
|
||
functionality. On the Mac this control is implemented using the
|
||
native HISearchField control, on the other platforms a generic control
|
||
is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms
|
||
introduce native search widgets.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a set of button classes to wx.lib.buttons from David Hughes that
|
||
uses the native renderer to draw the button.</p>

</ul>
|
||
<p>Patch [ 1583183 ] Fixes printing/print preview inconsistencies</p>
|
||
<p>Add events API to wxHtmlWindow (patch #1504493 by Francesco Montorsi)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTB_RIGHT style for right-aligned toolbars (Igor Korot)</p>
|
||
<p>Added New Zealand NZST and NZDT timezone support to wx.DateTime.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Window.GetAdjustedBestSize is deprecated. In every conceivable
|
||
scenario GetEffectiveMinSize is probably what you want to use instead.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Image: Gained support for TGA image file format.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.aui: The classes in the wx.aui module have been renamed to be more
|
||
consistent with each other, and make it easier to recognize in the
|
||
docs and etc. that they belong together.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
FrameManager --> AuiManager
|
||
FrameManagerEvent --> AuiManagerEvent
|
||
PaneInfo --> AuiPaneInfo
|
||
FloatingPane --> AuiFloatingPane
|
||
DockArt --> AuiDockArt
|
||
TabArt --> AuiTabArt
|
||
AuiMultiNotebook --> AuiNotebook
|
||
AuiNotebookEvent --> AuiNotebookEvent</blockquote>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.customtreectrl: A patch from Frank Niessink which adds an
|
||
additional style (TR_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT) that (un)checks a parent when
|
||
all children are (un)checked.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.animate.AnimationCtrl fixed to display inactive bitmap at start
|
||
(patch 1590192)</p>
|
||
<p>Patch from Dj Gilcrease adding the FNB_HIDE_ON_SINGLE_TAB style flag
|
||
for wx.lib.flatnotebook.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Window.GetBestFittingSize has been renamed to GetEffectiveMinSize.
|
||
SetBestFittingSize has been renamed to SetInitialSize, since it is
|
||
most often used only to set the initial (and minimal) size of a
|
||
widget.</p>
|
||
<p>The QuickTime backend for wx.media.MediaCtrl on MS Windows works
|
||
again. Just pass szBackend=wx.media.MEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME to the
|
||
constructor to use it instead of the default ActiveMovie backend,
|
||
(assuming the quicktime DLLs are available on the system.)</p>

|
||
<p>wxGTK: The wx.ALWAYS_SHOW_SB style is now supported.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed name errors in the old wxPython package namespace. As a
|
||
reminder, use of this package is deprecated and you are encouraged to
|
||
switch your programs over to the wx package.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas.SetCurrent to be compatible with prevoius
|
||
versons.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.StandardPaths.GetTmpDir.</p>
|
||
<p>Bug fixes in the wx.ListCtrl on Mac from Kevin Olivier, allowing it to
|
||
send events properly again. There is also a new native implementation
|
||
of wx.ListCtrl available, which will be used for wx.LC_REPORT style
|
||
list controls if you set the "mac.listctrl.always_use_generic"
|
||
SystemOption to zero. In a future release this will be the default.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample to the demo that shows some of what can be done with
|

the new wx.GraphicsContext and wx.GraphicsPath classes.</p>

<p>Patch #1579280: Some mimetype optimizations on unix-like systems.</p>
|

<p>wxMac: Several wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl enhancements/fixes, including:</p>
|

<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>new methods for increasing/decreasing text size, getting
|
||
selection, getting/setting scroll position, printing, enabling
|
||
editing, and running JavaScripts on the page.</li>
|
||
<li>added new event (wx.webkit.WebKitBeforeLoadEvent) for catching, and
|
||
possibly vetoing, load events before they occur.</li>
|
||
<li>wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl now fires mouse events for certain events
|
||
that it was eating before. This improves wxSplitterWindow
|
||
resizing behavior.</li>
|
||
<li>refactoring of the sizing logic to move the Cocoa view. Tested
|
||
with splitter windows, panels, notebooks and all position
|
||
correctly with this.</li>

</blockquote>
|
||
<p>wx.EventLoop is now implemented for wxMac.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython wrappers for the new wx.Treebook and wx.Toolbook
|
||
classes.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.DC.BeginDrawing and EndDrawing have been deprecated in the C++
|
||
code, so since they never really did anything before they are now just
|
||
empty stubs in wxPython.</p>
|
||
<p>Solved a problem that has been around for a very long time in how C++
|
||
methods are virtualized for overriding in derived Python classes.
|
||
Previously we couldn't do it for methods that needed to also exist in
|
||
the base class wrappers such that they could be called normally. (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:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
|
||
# do something here
|
||
return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end)
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>You can now call the base class method the normal way, like this:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
|
||
# do something here
|
||
return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end)
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>Or like this with super():</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
|
||
# do something here
|
||
return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end)
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>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:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>wx.DropSource</li>
|
||
<li>wx.DropTarget</li>
|
||
<li>wx.TextDropTarget</li>
|
||
<li>wx.FileDropTarget</li>
|
||
<li>wx.PyLog (also added the ability to override Flush)</li>
|
||
<li>wx.PyApp (also added the ability to override ExitMainLoop)</li>

<li>wx.Printout</li>

<li>wx.PyPrintPreview</li>

</ul>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.DC.GradientFillConcentric and wx.DC.GradientFillLinear
|
||
methods.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: wx.ListBox and wx.CheckListBox are now using native GTK2
|
||
widgets.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.ListBox.HitTest() from patch 1446207</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>Added GetResourcesDir and GetLocalizedResourcesDir to
|
||
wx.StandardPaths.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.)
|
||
are initialized. They are now created as uninitialized instances
|
||
using __new__. Then after the wx.App has been created, but before
|
||
OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each object is initialized.
|
||
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.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.RendererNative.DrawCheckButton.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>A DeprecationWarning is now issued when the old wxPython package is
|
||
imported. If you are still using the old namespace please convert
|
||
your code to use the new wx package instead.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers for Julian's new wxRichTextCtrl class, visible in
|
||
wxPython as wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl window. It still needs some more
|
||
work, but it is a great start.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT
|
||
event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already
|
||
hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code
|
||
to OpenEditor to send the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event and to not allow the
|
||
opening of the editor to continue if the event handler doesn't allow
|
||
it.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.StaticBoxSizer now keeps better track of the wx.StaticBox, and it
|
||
will destroy it if the sizer is destroyed before the parent window is.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.HyperlinkCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added battery and power related functions and events (wxMSW only so
|
||
far.) See wx.PowerEvent, wx.GetPowerType and wx.GetBatteryState.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.ListCtrl.HitTestSubItem which returns the sub-item (i.e. the
|
||
column in report mode) that was hit (if any) in addition to the item
|
||
and flags.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers for wx.ColourPickerCtrl, wx.DirPickerCtrl,
|
||
wx.FilePickerCtrl, and wx.FontPickerCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Patch #1502016 wx.Image.ConvertToGreyscale now retains the alpha
|
||
channel.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers for the wxAUI classes, in the wx.aui module.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the PseudoDC class from Paul Lanier. It provides a way to
|
||
record operations on a DC and then play them back later.</p>
|
||
<p>Upgraded to Scintilla 1.70 for wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added CanSetTransparent and SetTransparent methods to the
|
||
wx.TopLevelWindow class, with implementations (so far) for wxMSW and
|
||
wxMac.</p>
|
||
<p>SetDefaultItem() and GetDefaultItem() are now members of
|
||
wx.TopLevelWindow, not wx.Panel.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Stock items (icons) will be used for menu items with stock
|
||
IDs.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.combotreebox from Frank Niessink</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.ImageFromBuffer, wx.BitmapFromBuffer and
|
||
wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA factory functions. They enable loading of an
|
||
image or bitmap directly from a Python object that implements the
|
||
buffer interface, such as strings, arrays, etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.App.IsDisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a
|
||
GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an
|
||
implementation for wxMSW...)</p>
|
||
<p>The wx.html.HTML_FONT_SIZE_x constants are no longer available as the
|
||
default sizes are now calculated at runtime based on the size of the
|
||
normal GUI font.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to
|
||
wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new
|
||
alpha blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing
|
||
with pens and brushes on a wx.DC.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator
|
||
and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access
|
||
to the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object.</p>
|
||
<p>The beginnings of support for RTL languages has been added, thanks to
|
||
a Google SoC project.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.dragscroller from Riaan Booysen. It provides a helper
|
||
class that can used to scroll a wx.ScrolledWindow in response to a
|
||
mouse drag.</p>
|
||
<p>Applied patch 1551409: Adds support for indeterminate mode gauges.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac: I've turned on the compile option for using the native toolbar
|
||
on the Mac now that it supports hosting of controls. If the toolbar
|
||
is managed by the frame via either CreateToolBar() or SetToolBar()
|
||
then the native toolbar will be used. Additional toolbars, or
|
||
toolbars that are not children of the frame, are managed by sizers or
|
||
what-not will still use the emulated toolbar because of platform
|
||
restrictions in how/where the native toolbar can be used.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Python properties for many of the getter/setter methods of wx
|
||
classes. In order for the names to be predicatble for somebody
|
||
already familiar with wxPython the property names are simply the name
|
||
of the getter with the "Get" dropped. For example, wx.Window has a
|
||
property named "Size" that maps to GetSize and SetSize. So far there
|
||
is only one known name conflict using this naming convention, and that
|
||
is wx.KeyEvent.KeyCode, however since KeyCode was formerly a
|
||
compatibility alias for GetKeyCode (and has been for a long time) it
|
||
was decided to just switch it to a property. If you want to use the
|
||
method then change your calls to event.KeyCode() to
|
||
event.GetKeyCode(), otherwise you can use it as a property just by
|
||
dropping the parentheses.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated the C++ code for wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl from the wxCode
|
||
project. This has resulted in some minor API changes, most of which
|
||
were worked around in the wrapper code.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.delayedresult from Oliver Schoenborn.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that expands as more lines
|
||
are needed.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter
|
||
specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It
|
||
defaults to the current behavior of just replicating pixels, if
|
||
wx.IMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH is passed then it uses bicubic and box averaging
|
||
resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.lib.buttonpanel module, which is a tweaked version of
|
||
Andrea Gavana's FancyButtonPanel module.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.lib.flatnotebook module, from Andrea Gavana.</p>
|
||
<p>Renamed wx.FutureCall to wx.CallLater so it is named more like
|
||
wx.CallAfter. wx.FutureCall is now an empty subclass of wx.CallLater
|
||
for compatibility of older code.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl module from Andrea Gavana.</p>
|
||
<p>Added ChangeSelection to wx.BookCtrl (the base class for wx.Notebook
|
||
and other book controls) that is the same as SetSelection but doesn't
|
||
send the change events.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.TextCtrl.ChangeValue() which is the same as SetValue() but
|
||
doesn't send the text changed event.</p>
|
||
<p>For consistency, all classes having an Ok() method now also have
|
||
IsOk(), use of the latter form is preferred although the former hasn't
|
||
been deprecated yet</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wx.AboutBox() function and wx.AboutDialogInfo class. They
|
||
provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which
|
||
will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info
|
||
is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog.</p>
|
||
<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the core wxWidgets
|
||
library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still
|
||
exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two
|
||
classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load
|
||
the animated GIF (and hopefully there will be other supported formats
|
||
in the near future) in the Animation object, and then give that to the
|
||
AnimatedCtrl for display. See the demo for an example. There is also
|
||
still a GIFAnimationCtrl class that provides some level of backwards
|
||
compatibility with the old implementation.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac: The compile option that turns on the use of CoreGraphics (a.k.a
|
||
Quartz) for wxDC is now turned on by default. This means that all
|
||
drawing via wxDC is done using the new APIs from apple, instead of the
|
||
old Quick Draw API. There are, however, a few places where Quartz and
|
||
wxDC don't fit together very well, mainly the lack of support for
|
||
logical drawing operations such as XOR, but there is work in progress
|
||
to provide other ways to do the same sort of thing that will work with
|
||
Quartz and also on the other platforms.</p>
|
||
<p>The first parts of a new 2D drawing API has been added with the
|
||
wx.GraphicsPath and wx.GraphicsContext classes. They wrap GDI+ on
|
||
Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X. They allow path-based
|
||
drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating
|
||
point cooridnate system. Currently they can only target drawing to
|
||
windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming. The APIs may
|
||
evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but
|
||
there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work.
|
||
There is also a transitional wx.GCDC class that provides the wx.DC API
|
||
on top of wx.GraphicsContext. Docs and a demo are still MIA.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC that is a subclass of wx.PaintDC on
|
||
platforms that do double buffering by default, and a subclass of
|
||
wx.BufferedPaintDC on the platforms that don't. You can use this
|
||
class to help avoid the overhead of buffering when it is not
|
||
needed. There is also a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDCFactory function that
|
||
does a little more and actually tests if the window has
|
||
double-buffering enabled and then decides whether to return a
|
||
wx.PaintDC or wx.BufferedPaintDC. This uses the new
|
||
wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method.</p>

<p>wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT
|
||
event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already
|

hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code

it.</p>
|

<p>Made necessaary changes for building wxPython for Python 2.5. There

|
||
<p>Fixed reference leak in wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Fixed potential buffer overrun when pasting from the
|
||
clipboard.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>XRCed: Fix for Copy/Paste objects with international characters.</p>
|
||
<p>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:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
wx.Colour(64,0,64) == 123 ==> False
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>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.</p>

<ul class="simple">

|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Image.Copy, Mirror, and GetSubImage now also do the right thing
|
||
with the alpha channel.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed problem in wx.TextCtrl where using SetValue and
|
||
wx.TE_RICH2 would cause the control to be shown if it was hidden.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Numpad special keys are now distinguished from normal keys in

<p>wxMSW: Multiline notebook tab label change now resizes the control

correctly if an extra row is removed or added.</p>
|

<p>wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation
|

not available in the themed version.</p>

<p>wxGTK: Fix RequestMore for idle events.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Implement user dashes for PS and GNOME printing.</p>
|

<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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").</p>

NOTE: The STC_LEX_ASP and STC_LEX_PHP lexers have been deprecated,

<p>wxSTC: Implemented Fix for SF Bug #1436503. Delay the start of the

<p>Docview and IDE patch from Morgan Hua with fix for bug #1217890

"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
New feature added to the IDE is 'Extensions'. Under
|
||
Tools|Options|Extensions, you can add calls to external programs.
|
||
For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that
|
||
will exec Notepad on the currently open file. A new "Notepad"
|
||
menu item will appear under the Tools menu.</blockquote>

<p>Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly.</p>
|

<p>XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky:</p>
|

<blockquote>

<ul class="simple">
|

<li>Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar,

DatePicker), and completed style flags. Test window is opened
|
||
for an available parent control if no specific view
|
||
defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not
|
||
'stick' anymore).</li>
|
||
<li>Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed
|
||
the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100
|
||
is not always good).</li>

<p>wxMSW: wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow now properly handles tabbing, return

|
||
<p>Lots of PyCrust enhancments started by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker,
|
||
and Sebastian Haase, and which in turn were further enhanced, fixed
|
||
tweaked and finished up by me. The changes include the following:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>The Autocomplete and Calltip windows can now be opened manually
|
||
with Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift-Space.</li>
|
||
<li>In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings,
|
||
window size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the
|
||
next run.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key
|
||
bindings.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a new text completion function that suggests words from
|
||
the history. Bound to Shift-Return.</li>
|
||
<li>F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame.</li>
|
||
<li>switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*().</li>
|
||
<li>Display of line numbers can be toggled.</li>
|
||
<li>F12 toggles a "free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode
|
||
is useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output
|
||
or errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste.
|
||
The free edit mode is designated by the use of a red,
|
||
non-flashing caret.</li>
|
||
<li>Ctrl-Shift-F will fold/unfold (hide/show) the selected lines.</li>
|
||
<li>General code cleanup and fixes.</li>
|
||
<li>Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config
|
||
files.</li>
|
||
<li>Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows.</li>
|
||
<li>Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to
|
||
the PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a
|
||
PyCrust or a PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and
|
||
have the Py code save/restore its settings to/from there.</li>
|
||
<li>All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to
|
||
save/load their own settings instead of putting all the
|
||
save/load code in one place that then has to reach all over the
|
||
place to do anything.</li>
|
||
<li>Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be
|
||
the file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir
|
||
if PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment.</li>
|
||
<li>Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when
|
||
PyShell or PyCrust starts.</li>
|
||
<li>PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that
|
||
pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook.
|
||
Added code to raise that tab when pp() is called.</li>
|
||
<li>Added an option for whether to insert text for function
|
||
parameters when popping up the call tip.</li>
|
||
<li>Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the
|
||
wx.FindReplaceDialog.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Applied patches from Will Sadkin for wx.lib.masked modules:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>Now ignores kill focus events when being destroyed.</li>
|
||
<li>Added missing call to set insertion point on changing fields.</li>
|
||
<li>Modified SetKeyHandler() to accept None as means of removing
|
||
one.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed keyhandler processing for group and decimal character
|
||
changes.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a problem that prevented input into the integer digit of a
|
||
integerwidth=1 numctrl, if the current value was 0.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed logic involving processing of "_signOk" flag, to remove
|
||
default sign key handlers if false, so that
|
||
SetAllowNegative(False) in the NumCtrl works properly.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed selection logic for numeric controls so that if
|
||
selectOnFieldEntry is true, and the integer portion of an
|
||
integer format control is selected and the sign position is
|
||
selected, the sign keys will always result in a negative value,
|
||
rather than toggling the previous sign.</li>
|
||
</ul>

</blockquote>
|
||
<p>wx.FontMapper.SetConfig is deprecated. You should instead just set an
|
||
application-wide config object with wx.Config.Set, which wx.FontMapper
|
||
will use by default.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.GetMouseState which returns the current state of the mouse.
|
||
It returns an instance of a wx.MouseState object that contains the
|
||
current position of the mouse pointer in screen coordinants, as well
|
||
as boolean values indicating the up/down status of the mouse buttons
|
||
and the modifier keys.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.SizerItem.SetUserData</p>
|
||
<p>A variety of updates to wx.lib.floatcanvas, including Added
|
||
DrawObjects, including a ScaledTextBox, with auto-wrapping, etc, and
|
||
Scaled and Unscaled Bitmap Objects.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
WARNING: Changed all DrawObjects to take an (x,y) pair rather
|
||
than individual x,y parameters. Also changed rectangles and
|
||
ellipses to take (w,h) pair. This is an API change, but should
|
||
be easy to accommodate, all you need to do is add a parenthesis
|
||
pair: (...x, y, ...) ---> (...(x,y), ...)</blockquote>

<p>wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback
|
||
to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other
|
||
attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default
|
||
value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the
|
||
other.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject</p>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of
|
||
the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in
|

wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen.</p>
|

<p>Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux.</p>
|

<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping

|

<p>Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step.
|

Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK
|

wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour
|
||
is not black.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that
|
||
both has an icon and is a submenu.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and
|
||
resized.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes
|
||
in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single
|
||
DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults
|
||
instead of current values.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a
|
||
wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.</p>
|
||
<p>Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an
|
||
extra null character at the end.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11
|
||
Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio
|
||
item.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within
|
||
a wx.StaticBox.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.</p>
|
||
<p>Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any
|
||
locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads
|
||
as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding
|
||
situations.</p>
|
||
<p>Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize,
|
||
wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs
|
||
for details.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like
|
||
static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's
|
||
default browser in response to the clicks.</p>
|
||
<p>Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to
|
||
specify that the extra components specified in the version string are
|
||
required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi
|
||
version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected
|
||
as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you
|
||
want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True
|
||
parameter, like this:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
import wxversion
|
||
wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
|
||
import wx
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and
|
||
a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are
|
||
transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver
|
||
theme on XP.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See
|
||
wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py</p>
|
||
<p>wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used
|
||
to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.</p>
|
||
<p>XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for
|
||
changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed
|
||
while pasting).</p>
|
||
<p>wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when
|
||
self.history is None.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point
|
||
parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to
|
||
optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using
|
||
XP themes.</p>
|
||
<p>More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the
|
||
ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with
|
||
Subversion.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is
|
||
left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the
|
||
EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will
|
||
probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]</p>
|
||
<p>wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all
|
||
platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the
|
||
event as well.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the
|
||
window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)</p>
|
||
<p>Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an
|
||
explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the
|
||
printer.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong,
|
||
also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels</p>
|
||
<p>Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images
|
||
that we're not sure of their origin or license.</p>
|
||
<p>The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current
|
||
size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead
|
||
the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional
|
||
problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never
|
||
shrink.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an
|
||
alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to
|
||
_setCallbackInfo.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide
|
||
enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than
|
||
usual.</p>
|
||
<p>Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when
|
||
there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead
|
||
of a wx.TextCtrl.)</p>

<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways

to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly
|
||
to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go
|
||
through the same string/unicode <--> wxString conversions. The "Raw"
|
||
methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of
|
||
wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi
|
||
build no assumption is made about the encoding. The "UTF8" functions
|
||
will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be
|
||
able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on
|
||
the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current
|

encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p>

<p>wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles

<p>wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch

<p>wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and

alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all

still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but

||
this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.</p>

<p>OGL patch from Shane Holloway:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is
|
||
the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX))
|
||
dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY))
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX,
|
||
self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates.
|
||
Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical
|
||
coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug
|
||
surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from
|
||
the origin of the canvas.</p>
|
||
<p>The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption
|
||
that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions.
|
||
Causes many problems when it's not. ;)</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on
|
||
the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the
|
||
internal scrollbar visible.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard
|
||
system paths for each platform.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the
|
||
background colour or background mode has been changed. This better
|
||
allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for
|
||
uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct
|
||
theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and
|
||
non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper
|
||
method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an
|
||
alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw
|
||
directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later...</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play
|
||
various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the
|
||
system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a
|
||
floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of
|
||
sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies
|
||
how much the left/top window will grow while resizing.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more
|
||
maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has
|
||
also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples
|
||
of how to use the control.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses
|
||
focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.EXEC_NODISABLE flag for wx.Execute, which will prevent all
|
||
the app's windows being disabled while a synchronous child process is
|
||
running.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of
|
||
control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a circular reference problem with wx.Timer. It will now
|
||
completely cleanup after itself when the last reference to the timer
|
||
is removed. If you were previously using timer.Destroy() to cleanup
|
||
your timers it will no longer work. Instead you should hold a
|
||
reference to the timer and then del the reference when you are
|
||
finished with the timer.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated to 1.3.24 of SWIG. All of my big patches have been applied to
|
||
the main SWIG source tree, but unfortunatly there were also some bugs
|
||
added that affected the wxPython build and a few details in my
|
||
original patch were changed/removed, so we are still not free of
|
||
patches. A new patch for SWIG is located in the wxPython/SWIG
|
||
directory of the wxPython source tree. SWIG 1.3.24 plus this patch
|
||
should be used by anyone who is making custom modifications to
|
||
wxPython's .i files, or building their own extension modules or
|
||
etc. that need to interact with the wxPython swigged types. For the
|
||
morbidly curious, here are a few more details:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>Since it is now possible easily and simply share the SWIG type
|
||
tables across modules I reverted to always using the stock SWIG
|
||
runtime instead of my slightly hacked up version of it exported
|
||
via the wxPython C API.</li>
|
||
<li>The %name directive is now deprecated so I replaced most uses of
|
||
it with a custom %Rename macro that uses %rename internally.
|
||
These will evetually need to be replaced with a DocDecl macro
|
||
when docstrings are added for those items.</li>
|
||
<li>The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a
|
||
string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom
|
||
built-in type that holds the real C pointer to the object and
|
||
the type info. It can be converted to a string like the old
|
||
value using str() or to the long integer value of the pointer
|
||
using long().</li>
|
||
</ul>

</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Added SetDefaultPyEncoding and GetDefaultPyEncoding functions which
|
||
will set/get the encoding used by wxPython to convert string or
|
||
unicode objects to/from wxString objects. Previously the default
|
||
Python encoding was always used, but unless the user had tweaked their
|
||
sitecustomize.py file it is always "ascii", which would result in
|
||
errors if the strings contained character codes >= 128.
|
||
SetDefaultPyEncoding will now allow you to control which encoding will
|
||
be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the
|
||
value of <cite>locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]</cite> when wxPython is first
|
||
imported. Please see <a class="reference" href="http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html">http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html</a>
|
||
for information on the differences between the common latin/roman
|
||
encodings.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxStdDialogButtonSizer, which is a a special sizer that knows
|
||
how to order and position standard buttons in order to conform to the
|
||
current platform's standards. You simply need to add each <cite>wx.Button</cite>
|
||
to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard
|
||
ID's. Then call <cite>Realize</cite> and the sizer will take care of the rest.</p>

<p>wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the

EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler</p>

<p>wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get

<p>wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in

|

<p>wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown

|

<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets
|
||

|
||
<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions
|
||
(not all actions are allowed).</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)</p>
|
||
<p>For efficiency reasons, text controls no longer set the string for
|
||
each text updated event, but rather query for the string value only
|
||
when GetString is called from an event handler.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min
|
||
and max ends of the slider.</p>
|
||
<p>Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that
|
||
make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more
|
||
conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.</p>

<p>wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs

<p>wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.</p>

WXK_MENU</p>
|

<p>Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx
|
||
Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the
|
||
base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific
|

extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in

samples/docview.</p>

<p>wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.</p>
|

<p>wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been

undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team

lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being
|
||
managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases

for Add, and etc.</p>

<p>The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use

the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.</p>

<p>The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the

|

<p>Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the

buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of

<p>It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means
|
||
that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an
|
||
empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the
|
||
button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it
|
||
automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native
|
||
concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock
|
||
button will be used. For example, the following will result in a
|
||
button with "Cancel" as the label and if run on wxGTK2 then there will
|
||
also be an image of a red X:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">

b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL)

|
||
<p>Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that
|
||
I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no
|
||
longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils
|
||
on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of
|
||
incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils
|
||
has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on
|
||
x86_64 or Chandler's build.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
|
||
in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy
|
||
of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with
|
||
the wxPython modules.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it,
|
||
will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the
|
||
user that they should look at that window.</p>
|
||
<p>"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making
|

them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.</p>
|
||
<p>Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.</p>
|
||
<p>Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set
|
||
a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python
|
||
2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit,
|
||
PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and
|

PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate

<p>wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now

<p>wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove
|
||
WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug
|
||
1019440)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard
|
||
MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio
|
||
button.</p>
|
||
<p>Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a
|
||
wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing
|
||
how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.</p>
|
||
<p>The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it
|
||
is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed
|
||
accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of
|
||
modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then
|

it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you

<p>wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others

<p>wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the

merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for

||
more details and a warning.</p>
|

<p>Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or
|
||
dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.</p>

<p>Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point
|

|
||
<p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
|
||
sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
|
||
be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
|
||
be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
|
||
flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
|
||
that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best
|
||
size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
|
||
(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please
|
||
see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
|
||
now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p>
|
||
<p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
|
||
have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
|
||
implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
|
||
that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
|
||
parameters.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
|
||
all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p>
|
||
<p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p>
|
||
<p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
|
||
as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
|
||
reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
|
||
all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
|
||
buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
|
||
inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
|
||
should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
|
||
done.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
|
||
exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
|
||
automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
|
||
are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
|
||
a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
|
||
problems.</p>
|
||
<p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
|
||
track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to
|
||
Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p>
|
||
<p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
|
||
there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p>
|
||
<p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
|
||
detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p>
|
||
<p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
|
||
running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
|
||
to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
|
||
remaining compatible with "C".</p>
|
||
<p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
|
||
wxCode project.</p>
|
||
<p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side
|
||
leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
|
||
of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl
|
||
contributed by Pierre Hj<48>lm. This will hopefully greatly extend the
|
||
life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and
|
||
less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less
|
||
interest in maintaining the C++ version. At this point there are just
|
||
a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the

|
||
<p>EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in
|
||
Scintilla for several releases now.</p>
|
||
<p>All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also
|
||
many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a
|
||
wx.App object has already been created and will raise a
|
||
wx.PyNoAppError exception if not.</p>
|
||
<p>Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be
|
||
constructed with only the parent window arg. In some cases other args
|
||
may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set
|
||
after construction.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules. If you
|
||
were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist
|
||
with a more modern reimplementation.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker. It's now
|
||
in a subpackage of wx.lib.</p>
|
||
<p>It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a
|
||
panel or dialog. For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and
|
||
MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.</p>
|
||
<p>Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene
|
||
<<a class="reference" href="mailto:svip123@fastmail.fm">svip123@fastmail.fm</a>> that allows the sample modules in the demo to be
|
||
edited and reloaded, all from within the demo. You can switch back
|
||
and forth between the default and your edited version, and any errors
|
||
ocurring upon the reload are reported on the Demo tab.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a menu item in the demo that will open a PyShell window that has
|
||
the app and demo frame preloaded in the namespace. This is another
|
||
good way to explore and play with the objects in the currently running
|
||
sample. For example, load the Button sample and then do the following
|
||
in the PyShell:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
>>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
|
||
>>> for x in range(0, 500, 10):
|
||
... b.Move((x, 50))
|
||
... app.Yield(True)
|
||
... wx.MilliSleep(10)
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>wxGTK: Applied wxNO_BORDER patch (#1098374) for text control and combo
|
||
box.</p>

<p>(See also the <a class="reference" href="MigrationGuide.html">MigrationGuide</a> file for details about some of the

big changes that have happened in this release and how you should

adapt your code.)</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please
|
||
see <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm">http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm</a> for more details. This won't
|
||
really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the
|
||
wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail
|
||
list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing. We're going to try
|
||
and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to
|
||
be aware of this change if you run into any issues.</p>
|
||
<p>Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move
|
||
to wxWidgets 2.5 that I have forgotten about.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMirrorDC.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIconLocation</p>
|
||
<p>Added Python wrappers and demos for the new wxVScrolledWindow,
|
||
wxVListBox, and wxHtmlListBox classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives
|
||
from wxBookCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the
|
||
wx.lib.plot module.</p>
|
||
<p>I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the
|
||
Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can
|
||
happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.</p>
|
||
<p>The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake Linux in
|
||
Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. The RPMs are
|
||
also installing icons and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.desktop</span></tt> items in the generic KDE and
|
||
GNOME locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu
|
||
items on non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my
|
||
RH-9 build box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas
|
||
for how to improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more
|
||
distros please send me a patch.</p>
|
||
<p>The RPMs are now built on a fairly generic RH-9 box, and I have tested
|
||
installing them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.</p>
|
||
<p>There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual
|
||
Installer package now <em>only</em> installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython
|
||
extension modules and Python packages, and also the command-line tool
|
||
scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles
|
||
for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk
|
||
image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they
|
||
want to put them.</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly
|
||
different API.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated the AnalogClockWindow with many enhancements from E. A. Tac<61>o.</p>
|
||
<p>wxMac now has wx.ToggleButton!</p>
|
||
<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl has been updated to version 1.58 of Scintilla.</p>
|
||
<p>To help with the wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl performance issues on wxMac
|
||
I've added a SetUseAntiAliasing method (and GetUseAntiAliasing too)
|
||
that will turn off the use of antialiased fonts in the wxSTC, allowing
|
||
it to bypass the slow text measuring routines and use the fast and
|
||
simple one instead. By default the setting is turned off (on wxMac
|
||
only.) When run on OSX the Py* apps have a new item on the Options
|
||
menu for controlling this setting if you would like to experiment with
|
||
it.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wx.lib.calendar with many fixes and enhancements from Joerg
|
||
"Adi" Sieker.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.</p>
|
||
<p>AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile,
|
||
MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
|
||
describe the platform and build options of wxPython. See the
|
||
MigrationGuide for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's
|
||
newest <a class="reference" href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/~blackpaw1/wxactivex.html">wxActiveX</a> class. (The existing iewin module used an older
|
||
version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.) This
|
||
new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX
|
||
controls in a wx.Window, <strong>without</strong> requiring the use of the win32com
|
||
and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems
|
||
that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the
|
||
GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module
|
||
will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards
|
||
compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow
|
||
in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed.
|
||
Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper
|
||
module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I
|
||
couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that,
|
||
if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider
|
||
migrating away from using activexwrapper as well. Please see the
|
||
MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.</p>
|
||
<p>Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.</p>

<p>Use wxSTC in the demo for displaying the soucre code of the samples.</p>

<p>Lots of bug fixes and such from the wxWindows folks.</p>

demonstrated in the Threads sample in the demo.</p>

<li>19-Jun-2003</li>
|

</ul>
|
||
<p>Added wxScrolledPanel from Will Sadkin</p>
|
||
<p>Added SetShape method to top level windows (e.g. wxFrame.)</p>
|
||
<p>Changed wxSWIG to not generate Python code using apply, (since it will
|
||
be deprecated in the future) wxSWIG will use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">spam(*args,</span> <span class="pre">**kw)</span></tt> syntax
|
||
instead. Also changed the generated __repr__ methods to be a bit more
|
||
informative.</p>
|
||
<p>Made the version number information more robust and uh, informative.
|
||
Also added asserts to check that the major.minor versions of wxPython
|
||
and wxWindows match.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the new wx "renamer" package that will dynamically import from
|
||
the wxPython package and rename wxFooBar --> FooBar. That means that
|
||
people can do imports without <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"import</span> <span class="pre">*"</span></tt> and can use names like
|
||
wx.Frame instead of wx.wxFrame. This is phase 1 of a full transition
|
||
to the new namespace.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated Scintilla to 1.52. I also changed it to use wxListCtrl
|
||
instead of wxListBox for the AutoComplete window, added the ability to
|
||
use custom bitmaps in the margin and in the AutoComplete windows, and
|
||
worked out how to do proper clipping of child windows on wxGTK.</p>
|
||
<p>Patrick O'Brien's PyCrust package has been renamed to Py and now
|
||
includes several new tools. As part of the change the location of the
|
||
pacakge has changed as well, it is now accessible as "from wxPython
|
||
import py" (or "from wx import py" using the new namespace.) There
|
||
are still some transition modules in the wxPython.lib.PyCrust package
|
||
that will issue a warning and then import what is needed from the new
|
||
package. These will be removed in a future release.</p>
|
||
<p>Added __nonzero__ method to wxTreeItemId, wxBitmap, wxImage, wxFont,
|
||
and most other classes that have an Ok or IsOK method. This allows
|
||
code like "if obj: ..." to be the same as "if obj.IsOk(): ..."</p>
|
||
<p>Toolbars on wxMac can now have controls on them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.analogclock module based on samples that were
|
||
passed back and forth on wxPython-users a while back.</p>
|
||
<p>Added masked edit controls (wxPython.lib.maskededit) by Jeff Childers
|
||
and Will Sadkin. Updated wxTimeCtrl to use MaskedEdit.</p>
|
||
<p>When the __class__ of a dead object is replaced with _wxPyDeadObject
|
||
the __del__ of the original class is now called first.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTreeListCtrl. (Looks like a wxTreeCtrl embedded in a
|
||
wxListCtrl, but actually is just giving multiple columns to a
|
||
wxTreeCtrl.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFutureCall, a subclass of wxTimer that makes it easy to delay
|
||
a call to any Python callable object.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPy versions of wxPrintPreview, wxPreviewFrame, and
|
||
wxPreviewControlBar so they can be derived from in Python and be able
|
||
to override the C++ virtual methods.</p>
|
||
<p>Simplified how the wxSizer methods are wrapped, changed the name of
|
||
the "option" parameter to "proportion" to match the docs ("option" is
|
||
still accepted for compatibility, but this will go away in a future
|
||
release,) SetItemMinSize can now take a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter,
|
||
and Spacers can be specified with a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCursorFromBits.</p>

|
||
<p>Gave up on generating a warning upon the use of the old true/false or
|
||
TRUE/FALSE values.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxGenericTreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac for wxTreeCtrl) so
|
||
that it can successfully handle lots of nodes instead of overflowing
|
||
when the virtual height of the widget overflowed a 16-bit value.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the typemap that converts strings to wxColours to also accept
|
||
unicode.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed problem where the wrong class name could sometimes be used for
|

OOR.</p>
|

<p>Fixed an interpreter lock problem in the __eq__ and __ne__ methods in

wxSize and etc.</p>
|

<p>Updated PyCrust to version 0.9</p>
|
||
<p>Instead of always logging C++ assertions, added wxPYAPP_ASSERT_LOG
|
||
flag to turn it on. In most cases turning it into an exception (the
|

default behavior) is enough. See below in the 2.3.4.1 notes for more

<p>Add OOR support for wxApp objects too.</p>
|

<p>Added wxCursorFromImage, which works on wxMSW and wxGTK so far.</p>
|
||
<p>All platforms now send EVT_DESTROY_WINDOW. Be warned that at the time
|
||
the event is sent the window is in the process of being deconstructed,
|
||
and so calling some (most?) methods of the window itself may cause
|

problems.</p>

|

<p>Fixed SF Bug #689958, an endless loop in printout.py.</p>
|

<p>Added EVT_WINDOW_CREATE_ID and EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY_ID so these events

<p>Added missing Init method (and an overloading wrapper) to wxLocale
|

wrapper.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wxBitmap.SetMaskColour convenience method.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed how the dynamic event tables (used for all Python wx classes,
|
||
C++ wx classes typically use static event tables) are searched such
|
||
that they behave from a Python perspective more like the static tables
|
||
in C++. Namely that if there are identical event bindings in a base
|
||
Python class and a derived Python class that the one in the derived
|
||
class will be found first and that if Skip is called that the one in
|
||
the base class will still be found instead of skipping directly to the
|
||
static stable in the C++ class.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched to using True/False in the wxPython lib and demo instead of
|
||
true/false or TRUE/FALSE to prepare for the new boolean type and
|
||
constants being added to Python. Added code to wx.py to test for the
|
||
existence of the new constants and to create suitable values if not
|
||
present.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some static wxApp functions that help with integration with the
|
||
Mac UI. They are no-ops on other platforms so it doesn't hurt to
|
||
always call them. The functions are:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
wxApp_GetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC
|
||
wxApp_GetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts
|
||
wxApp_GetMacAboutMenuItemId

wxApp_GetMacPreferencesMenuItemId
|

wxApp_GetMacExitMenuItemId

wxApp_GetMacHelpMenuTitleName

wxApp_SetMacExitMenuItemId

||
wxApp_SetMacHelpMenuTitleName
|

</pre>
|
||
<p>Refactored, enhanced and added capabilities for the DrawXXXList
|
||
functions, inspired by code from Chris Barker.</p>
|
||
<p>The wxWindows .mo language catalog files are now installed in a
|
||
subdirectory of the wxPython package dir on MSW since that platform
|
||
doesn't have a standard place for them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added missing deselect methods for wxGrid.</p>

<p>Several bug fixes in wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxHtmlFilter.</p>
|
||
<p>wxASSERT and related C++ runtime diagnostics are now converted to
|
||
Python exceptions. When an assert happens a wxPyAssertionError
|
||
(which derives from AssertionError) exception is created and when
|
||
control returns back to the Python code that invoked the C++ API it
|
||
will be raised. The same exception restrictions are in place as
|
||
before, namely that exceptions can't cross from one Python layer
|
||
through C++ to another Python layer. That simply means that if you
|
||
want to catch wxPyAssertionError or any other exception that you need
|
||
to do it before control returns to C++ at the end of your event
|
||
handler or callback code. There is some test code in demo/wxButton.py
|
||
you can use to play with this new feature.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some methods to wxApp (SetAssertMode and GetAssertMode) that let
|
||
you control how C++ assertions are processed. Valid modes are:
|
||
wxPYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS, wxPYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION, and
|
||
wxPYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG. Using _SUPPRESS will give you behavior like
|
||
the old "final" builds and the assert will be ignored, _EXCEPTION is
|
||
the new default described above, and _DIALOG is like the default in
|
||
2.3.3.1 and prior "hybrid" builds. You can also combine _EXCEPTION
|
||
and _DIALOG if you wish, although I don't know why you would.</p>
|
||
<p>You can now overload OnInitGui, OnExit and OnAssert in your classes
|
||
derived from wxApp.</p>
|
||
<p>Added GetSelectedCells, GetSelectionBlockTopLeft,
|
||
GetSelectionBlockBottomRight, GetSelectedRows, GetSelectedCols nethods
|
||
to wxGrid.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Python == and != operators for some basic classes</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the Python wrappers for wxInputStream so they no longer block
|
||
when reading from a wxProcess on wxGTK. They now work more or less as
|
||
they did before 2.3.3.1 but the dual meaning of eof() has been
|
||
removed. There is now a CanRead() method that lets you know if there
|
||
is data waiting to be read from the pipe.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed method name clash in wxIEHtmlWin, renamed Refresh to RefreshPage.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Throbber from Cliff Wells to the library and the demo.</p>
|
||
<p>Windows installer prompts to uninstall old version first.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.evtmgr by Robb Shecter, which is an easier, more
|
||
"Pythonic" and more OO method of registering handlers for wxWindows
|
||
events using the Publish/Subscribe pattern.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.popupctl by Gerrit van Dyk which is a combobox-like
|
||
gizmo for poping up arbitrary controls. It is currently using
|
||
wxDialog because of some issues with wxPopupWindow...</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.gridmovers by Gerrit van Dyk which facilitates the
|
||
dragging of columns and/or rows in a wxGrid.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.multisash by Gerrit van Dyk which is a nice
|
||
implementation of allowing the user to split a window any number of
|
||
times either horizontally or vertically, and to close the split off
|
||
windows when desired.</p>
|
||
<p>Added helpviewer tool that displays HTML books similarly to how MS
|
||
HTMLHelp viewer does. Changed how the wxPythonDocs tarball is built
|
||
and added a script to launch the doc viewer.</p>

|

<p>The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a

wxPopupWindow if available on the platform (and functioning correctly)

|

<p>Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also

added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now
|

be loaded from any Python "file-like" object.</p>
|

<p>Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image
|

data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to
|

convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer.
|
||
This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a
|

row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row
|
||
spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank.
|

Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in

<dl class="docutils">
|
||
<dt>UNICODE!</dt>
|
||
<dd><p class="first">wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or
|
||
disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always
|
||
used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if
|
||
it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently
|
||
wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with
|
||
the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until
|
||
it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.</p>
|
||
<p>Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows
|
||
family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the
|
||
same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is
|
||
done by using a special library and DLL with the application
|
||
called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of
|
||
the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a
|
||
win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode
|
||
versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get
|
||
this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but
|
||
wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the
|
||
unicode build on win95.</p>
|
||
<p class="last">So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled,
|
||
then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString
|
||
from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and
|
||
parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can
|
||
accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string
|
||
object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the
|
||
converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default
|
||
system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other
|
||
encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python
|
||
codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython
|
||
method.</p>

|

</dl>
|
||
<p>Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter.</p>
|
||
<p>A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or
|
||
whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object
|
||
to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to
|
||
crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++
|
||
pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the
|
||
Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever
|
||
a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works
|
||
for any class that is OOR aware.</p>
|
||
<p>Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor,
|
||
wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their
|
||
derived classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of
|
||
the image data. (Patch #546009)</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++
|
||
application.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their
|
||
wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual
|
||
methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods
|
||
supported are:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>DoMoveWindow
|
||
DoSetSize
|
||
DoSetClientSize
|
||
DoSetVirtualSize
|
||
DoGetSize
|
||
DoGetClientSize
|

DoGetPosition
|

DoGetVirtualSize

Validate

AcceptsFocus
|

AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard
|

GetMaxSize
|
||
AddChild
|
||
RemoveChild</p>
|
||
<p>If there are other methods that you think should be supported
|
||
please let me know.</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload
|
||
DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxArtProvider.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function
|
||
(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there
|
||
are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do
|
||
something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The
|
||
implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a boatload of reference leaks.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect
|
||
creating a ScrolledPanel.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and
|
||
other menu stuff.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the
|
||
ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in
|
||
C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and
|
||
so it is less fragile in the face of changes.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com
|
||
modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a
|
||
transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving
|
||
tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after
|
||
win32com got rid of the temporary tstate...</p>
|
||
<p>Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is
|
||
so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can
|
||
respond to mouse events and etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1
|
||
on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise.</p>
|
||
<p>Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to
|
||
import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the
|
||
tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the
|
||
tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to
|
||
easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be
|
||
started with just the "pycrust" command.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and
|
||
displays the details of the event.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers
|
||
for nonstandard class types in XRC resources. See the demo for an
|
||
example.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.mixins.rubberband module from Robb Shecter.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxTimeCtrl from Will Sadkin.</p>

|
||
<p>Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.</p>
|
||
<p>Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman
|
||
Rolinsky.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the
|
||
default C++ constructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the
|
||
corresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step
|
||
creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such
|
||
as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for
|
||
passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the
|
||
resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of
|
||
the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame,
|
||
etc.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
|
||
accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style
|
||
from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This
|
||
means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you
|
||
are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the
|
||
wxSTC flag accordingly.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the
|
||
column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by
|
||
using wxColumnSorterMixin.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper.</p>
|
||
<p>Added pySketch to the samples.</p>
|
||
<p>Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state
|
||
are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a
|
||
multi-processor machine.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log
|
||
messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFindReplaceDialog.</p>
|
||
<p>The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer,
|
||
wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods
|
||
that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally
|
||
created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still
|
||
exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the
|
||
original C++ pointer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList,
|
||
DrawPointList.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning
|
||
text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to
|
||
and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types
|
||
of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular
|
||
browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works,
|
||
if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the
|
||
wx-dev list.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxStopWatch.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType.</p>
|
||
<p>Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions
|
||
will now Disconnect the event.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxFileHistory.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows
|
||
by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show
|
||
this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the
|
||
same document.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxEditableListBox gizmo.</p>
|
||
<p>Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam
|
||
Feuer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that
|
||
were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with
|
||
additional columns for each item. The classes are
|
||
wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow,
|
||
wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may
|
||
also be useful by themselves.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived
|
||
from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a
|
||
wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The
|
||
visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a
|
||
SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See

||
wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more

details.</p>

convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is

converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings

||
containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
|
||
included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
|
||
specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
|
||
compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to

convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See

wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for

the implementation.</p>

<p>A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with

<dt>OOR:</dt>
|
||
<dd><p class="first">Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
|
||
the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
|
||
nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
|
||
now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
|
||
"proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
|
||
FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
|
||
constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
|
||
as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
|
||
wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
|
||
original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
|
||
will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
|
||
use weak references.)</p>
|
||
<p class="last">This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
|
||
required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
|
||
be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
|
||
introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
|
||
stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything

thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any

object-type related oddities to me.</p>

<p>There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like

specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
|
||
finally got done.</p>

<p>Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my

list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.</p>

useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help

make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
|
||
Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
|
||
of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
|
||
please send it to me for inclusion in this package.</p>

|
||
<p>Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
|
||
column in report mode.</p>
|
||
<p>Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
|
||
bar after 2 seconds.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxJoystick.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
|
||
a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
|
||
object, (usually a window.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.</p>
|
||
<p>Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
|
||
multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
|
||
the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
|
||
the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
|
||
libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
|
||
wxPython/src/export.h</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
|
||
extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
|
||
utils. Will probably add more later.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
|
||
wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
|
||
wxPrinterDC2 name.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
|
||
that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
|
||
mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
|
||
integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
|
||
XML-RPC server.</p>

|

<ul class="simple">

<li>26-Oct-2000</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
|
||
Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
|
||
from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
|
||
that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
|
||
releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
|
||
have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
|
||
interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
|
||
some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
|
||
how things work.</p>
|
||
<p>I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
|
||
of the distribution files. (See <a class="reference" href="http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/">http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/</a>)
|
||
This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
|
||
builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
|
||
use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
|
||
platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
|
||
wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
|
||
install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
|
||
using Python 2.0 then you already have it.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
|
||
contributed by Joerg Baumann.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
|
||
get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
|
||
get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
|
||
stdin.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed the old python sizers.</p>
|
||
<p>Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
|
||
and wxRealPoint.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
|
||
the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
|
||
libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of little fixes here and there.</p>
|
||
<p>Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
|
||
wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
|
||
wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.</p>

<p>WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
|
||
Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
|
||
handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
|
||
confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
|
||
coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
|
||
generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
|
||
the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
|
||
modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.</p>

|

<p>Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
|
||
flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
|

GetSelections.</p>
|

<p>Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and

.GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.</p>
|
||
<p>Plugged a memory leak.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
|
||
available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
|
||
new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
|
||
consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
|
||
good...)</p>
|
||
<p>Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
|
||
authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
|
||
mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.</p>
|
||
<p>Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
|
||
It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
|
||
in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
|
||
on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
|
||
needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
|
||
just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
|
||
method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
|
||
matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
|
||
them.</p>
|
||
<p>Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
|
||
expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
|
||
defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
|
||
"#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
|
||
wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
|
||
wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
|
||
but I've included a very readable source file in the
|
||
wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
|
||
can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
|
||
<a class="reference" href="http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html">http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html</a> to help fill in the gaps

<p>Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.</p>
|

<p>Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
|

and some flicker problems.</p>
|

<p>Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the

||
wxPython.lib.vtk module. (<a class="reference" href="http://www.kitware.com/">http://www.kitware.com/</a>)</p>
|

|

<p>Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.</p>
|

<p>Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
|

with wxWindow.GetParent.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
|
||
It is used like this:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)</blockquote>
|
||
<p>If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
|

rectangle representing the intersection is returned.</p>
|
||
<p>Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.</p>
|
||
<p>Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())</p>
|
||
<p>Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
|
||
window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
|
||
a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
|
||
to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
|
||
versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
|
||
create your own classes derived from wxControl.</p>
|
||
<p>The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
|
||
wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
|
||
but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
|
||
support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
|
||
methods look like this:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<dl class="docutils">
|
||
<dt>def AddTool(ID,</dt>
|
||
<dd>bitmap,
|
||
pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
|
||
toggle = FALSE,
|
||
clientData = NULL,
|
||
shortHelpString = "",
|
||
longHelpString = "")</dd>
|
||
<dt>def AddSimpleTool(ID,</dt>
|
||
<dd>bitmap,
|
||
shortHelpString = "",
|
||
longHelpString = "",
|
||
toggle=FALSE)</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>There are also corresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
|
||
that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.</p>
|
||
<p>Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.</p>
|
||
<p>wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
|
||
is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
|
||
<a class="reference" href="http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL">http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Added some missing EVT functions.</p>
|
||
<p>Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
|
||
package.</p>
|
||
<p>Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.</p>
|
||
<p>More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
|
||
than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
|
||
style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)</p>

<p>wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to

wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data

itself.</p>
|

<p>Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
|

being added. This should remove the need for our
|

wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.</p>
|
||
<p>wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
|
||
no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
|
||
probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
|
||
a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
|

an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().</p>

<p>Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been deprecated in wxWindows as

it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple

(returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
|
||
wxPoint.)</p>
|

|
||
<p>This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
|
||
wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
|
||
binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
|
||
wxGTK from CVS. (See <a class="reference" href="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm">http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm</a>)
|
||
To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
|
||
the wxPy-2-1-4 tag.</p>
|
||
<p>Now back to what's new...</p>
|
||
<p>Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.</p>
|
||
<p>Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a <em>copy</em>
|
||
of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
|
||
anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
|
||
list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
|
||
memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
|
||
great!</p>
|
||
<p>Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
|
||
SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
|
||
default sort order.</p>
|
||
<p>Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
|
||
either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
|
||
example, the following are equivallent:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|
||
win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
|
||
win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
|
||
handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
|
||
is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
|
||
understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
|
||
pages. See the demo for an example.</p>
|
||
<p>A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
|
||
wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
|
||
versions are still in the library, but deprecated. (You will get a
|
||
warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
|
||
disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
|
||
the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
|
||
added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
|
||
smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
|
||
that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
|
||
not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
|
||
wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
|
||
portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
|
||
further details.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
|
||
wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
|
||
accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
|
||
directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
|
||
that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
|
||
Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
|
||
for more info and examples in future releases.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
|
||
from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
|
||
wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
|
||
all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
|
||
different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
|
||
columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
|
||
to use them.</p>
|
||
<p>Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
|
||
that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
|
||
the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
|
||
method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
|
||
in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
|
||
of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
|
||
in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
|
||
there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
|
||
enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
|
||
be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
|
||
pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.</p>
|
||
<p>I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
|
||
years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
|
||
object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
|
||
value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
|
||
sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
|
||
them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
|
||
default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
|
||
creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
|
||
to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
|
||
back again the next time something is written. (You can call
|
||
app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
|
||
redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
|
||
object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
|
||
class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
|
||
RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
|
||
wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:</p>
|
||
<pre class="literal-block">
|

<p>Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
|
||
wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
|
||
your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
|
||
to really screw things up.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
|
||
in the wxWindows docs...</p>
|
||
<p>Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
|
||
shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
|
||
shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
|
||
that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
|
||
frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
|
||
bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
|
||
a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
|
||
problems...)</p>

<p>This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see <a class="reference" href="http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html">http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html</a>)
|
||
for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
|
||
patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
|
||
old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
|
||
features:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<ol class="arabic">
|
||
<li><p class="first">Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
|
||
parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
|
||
non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p class="first">There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
|
||
NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
|
||
now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
|
||
expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
|
||
raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
|
||
Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
|
||
see distrib/build.py for more details.</p>
|
||
<p>wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
|
||
two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
|
||
takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
|
||
interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.</p>

|

<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>6-Aug-1999</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.</p>
|
||
<p>Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
|
||
provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
|
||
their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
|
||
It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
|
||
line 496 if you want to do it by hand.</p>
|
||
<p>It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
|
||
process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
|
||
prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
|
||
is being unloaded by Python.</p>
|
||
<p>I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
|
||
make wxPython look bad.</p>
|
||
<p>wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
|
||
wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.</p>
|
||
<p>You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
|
||
wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.</p>
|
||
<p>Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
|
||
code to show how to use it.</p>
|
||
<p>Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
|
||
matches MSW's.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxGrid.GetCells</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
|
||
wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.</p>
|
||
<p>Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been deprecated in
|
||
wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.</p>
|
||
<dl class="docutils">
|
||
<dt>Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as</dt>
|
||
<dd>wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<p>Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
|
||
objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
|
||
a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
|
||
data transfer.</p>
|
||
<p>Added access methods to wxGridEvent.</p>
|
||
<p>New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
|
||
for unix systems.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.</p>
|
||
<p>SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
|
||
in wx.cpp.</p>

<ul class="simple">

|
||
<p>Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
|
||
item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
|
||
wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)</p>
|
||
<p>Added the Printing Framework.</p>
|
||
<p>Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
|
||
version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
|
||
data after loading each extension module.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
|
||
wxWindows classes.</p>
|
||
<p>Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
|
||
symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
|
||
when doing any Py_DECREFs.</p>
|
||
<p>wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
|
||
of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
|
||
types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
|
||
not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!</p>

<p>Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
|
||
reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
|
||
wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
|
||
wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
|
||
with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
|
||
in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
|
||
have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
|
||
diverges from wxWindows.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
|
||
window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
|
||
it should just work... More news on this later.</p>
|
||
<p>Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.</p>
|
||
<p>Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
|
||
wxRegConfig class.</p>
|
||
<p>As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.</p>

<p>wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
|
||
static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm van der
|
||
Heijden for his astute detective work on tracking down a nasty DECREF
|
||
bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a DSM (Dumb Stupid
|
||
Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less because the
|
||
behavior was so different on different platforms.</p>
|
||
<p>The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
|
||
must have been a different issue all along...</p>

<p>1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
|
||
Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
|
||
linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
|
||
extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
|
||
And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
|
||
version segfault shortly after starting up.</p>
