2014-06-16 16:51 VZ, revision 76716

Update the release notes and checksums for 3.0.1 release. Also add an explicit notice about needing to compile the library even after downloading the installer.

2014-06-16 00:18 TIK, revision 76715

Under certain conditions, selecting a menu item triggers an assert in toplevel.cpp:1544: wxASSERT_MSG( m_menuDepth > 0, wxS("No open menus?") ); The conditions to reproduce: - Windows 8.1 - An application manifest that indicates Windows 8.1 compatibility In this case, wxGetWinVersion() used to return wxWinVersion_Unknown (Without a manifest indicating 8.1 support, wxWinVersion_8 is being returned). This in turn causes the version check against Windows98 in toplevel.cpp:455 to fail, ultimately leading to the mentioned assert. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724439%28v=vs.85%29.aspx for details. This patch on the 3.x branch of wx adjusts wxGetWinVersion to return wxWinVersion_8 on 8.1 instead of wxWinVersion_Unknown if there's such a manifest. In future, a different approach needs to be chosen that does not depend the deprecated GetVersion function.

This in turn causes the version check against Windows98 in toplevel.cpp:450 to fail, ultimately leading to the mentioned assert. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724439%28v=vs.85%29.aspx for details. This patch on trunk adjusts adds the wxWinVersion_8_1 enum value and returns it on Windows 8.1 if the program is manifested as such. In future, a different approach needs to be chosen that does not depend the deprecated GetVersion function.

2014-06-15 17:14 VZ, revision 76713

Add a page containing the screenshots of all controls to the manual. It can be helpful to see all the controls at a glance, especially if you don't know which control is needed.

2014-06-15 17:14 VZ, revision 76712

Make picker controls description in the manual less useless. It's not really clear what potential benefit could library users extract from the knowledge that the picker controls behaviour is "highly platform-dependent". Try to be flighty more helpful.

2014-06-15 14:58 VZ, revision 76711

Display wxString in more readable way in MSVS debug visualizer. Use "sb" format specifier to avoid having L"..." around the string and then add just the quotes back manually.

2014-06-15 03:33 VZ, revision 76710

Remove the old release making instructions and scripts. Using git-based scripts seems to work well and the old scripts are not maintained any more and having several ways of making releases is just confusing, so leave only one set of scripts, the one actually used since 2.9.

2014-06-15 02:50 VZ, revision 76709

Tag 3.0.1 release.

2014-06-15 02:30 VZ, revision 76708

Update the release notes and the announcement for 3.0.1 release. Document the changes in this release. Remove the "Documentation" section from the README as it doesn't seem to be very useful there, the link to the online documentation is the most important thing and it's mentioned in the very beginning.

2014-06-15 02:30 VZ, revision 76707

Set the 3.0.1 release date. Update the release date in the change log and the manual.

2014-06-15 02:30 VZ, revision 76706

Add MSVS visualizers for wxArrayString, wxVector, wxWindowList. Make viewing the contents of the (most common) container types easier when debugging in MSVS 2012 or later. Provide std::{vector,list}-like visualizers for wxVector and wxWindowList and a special visualizer allowing to see the contents of wxArrayString in a relatively common case when it has just or two elements.

2014-06-15 02:30 VZ, revision 76705

Add a file with debug visualizers for MSVS 2013 and later. For now this file contains just the visualizer for wxWindow which shows its real (most derived) type as this is often the most useful thing you need to know about the window.

2014-06-15 02:30 VZ, revision 76704

Add debugger visualizers for Visual Studio 2012+. Starting with 2012, Visual Studio uses a new, XML-based and actually quite understandable format for the debug visualizers. Only basics are included so far.

2014-06-15 02:00 BP, revision 76703

Updated date in manual for 3.0.1 release.

2014-06-14 23:03 VZ, revision 76702

2014-06-14 22:23 TIK, revision 76700

Remove the unused anonymous function OffsetWindow to fix a compiler warning.

2014-06-14 22:22 TIK, revision 76699

Remove the unused anonymous function OffsetWindow to fix a compiler warning.

2014-06-14 22:20 TIK, revision 76698

Don't redefine _FORCENAMELESSUNION it if it is already defined. Fixes a warning when compiling with MinGW.

2014-06-14 22:19 TIK, revision 76697

Don't redefine _FORCENAMELESSUNION it if it is already defined. Fixes a warning when compiling with MinGW.

2014-06-13 19:19 VZ, revision 76696

Compilation fix for wxFont in wxMotif. Include wx/crt.h containing wxSscanf() declaration.

2014-06-12 19:14 VZ, revision 76695

Allow using wxALIGN_CENTER in XRC for wxStaticText. Only wxALIGN_CENTRE was allowed previously in the XRC, while both worked in the code and also even in XRC but for wxSizer alignment.

2014-06-12 19:13 VZ, revision 76694

Fix wxDynamicLibrary compilation under Solaris. Add const_cast<> needed for the call to dladdr() to compile.

2014-06-12 19:13 VZ, revision 76693

Allow using wxALIGN_CENTER in XRC for wxStaticText. Only wxALIGN_CENTRE was allowed previously in the XRC, while both worked in the code and also even in XRC but for wxSizer alignment.

2014-06-11 23:31 VZ, revision 76692

Added a brief version of README in markdown for Github users. Now that we have CONTRIBUTING.md there doesn't seem to be any reason for not having README.md as well. Perhaps this one will replace docs/readme.txt in the future.

2014-06-11 23:31 VZ, revision 76691

Update the README after recent changes. Update the platform list after dropping Win9x and OS/2 support. Use new URLs after web site redesign and Trac upgrade.

2014-06-11 23:14 VZ, revision 76690

Convert contributors documentation to markdown. The conversion is very superficial and there are probably many problems in the Markdown rendering, but this is the first step towards making these documents more readable when viewing them online.

2014-06-11 23:14 VZ, revision 76689

Rename tech notes to files with reasonable names. Keep the old files to avoid breaking existing links to them, but just point to the files in the new contributing subdirectory with more meaningful names now. Also remove a couple of long obsolete tech notes.

2014-06-11 22:01 VZ, revision 76688

Add brief contribution instructions for Github users. This should show up when opening Github pull requests.

2014-06-11 17:25 VZ, revision 76687

Fix misspellings of "occurred" and "occurrences". See https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/9

2014-06-11 17:25 VZ, revision 76686

Portuguese translations update from Manuella Silva. Update to use new (1990) spelling. See https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/5

2014-06-11 16:56 VZ, revision 76685

Install private headers used by wx/unix/execute.h. Although private headers are not normally installed, do install the ones included from the (erroneously) public wx/unix/execute.h to allow code including it to compile. Closes #16325.

2014-06-11 16:55 VZ, revision 76684

Avoid g++ warning about using possibly uninitialized PangoContext. Initialize it to NULL as it could indeed be left uninitialized in some build configurations before.

2014-06-11 16:55 VZ, revision 76683

Move include/wx/unix/execute.h to include/wx/unix/private. This header is private and is not supposed to be used from the outside the library. See #16325.

2014-06-10 02:38 VZ, revision 76682

Show the shaped frame with start shape initially in the sample. It's not clear that setting the window shape actually works if the initial shape is not set.

2014-06-10 02:38 VZ, revision 76681

Don't assert in wxOSX if a shaped window doesn't define a valid shape. A window with wxFRAME_SHAPED style can still not defined any valid shape actually, in which case wxFRAME_SHAPED should be just ignored.

2014-06-10 02:38 VZ, revision 76680

Show the shaped frame with start shape initially in the sample. It's not clear that setting the window shape actually works if the initial shape is not set.

2014-06-10 02:38 VZ, revision 76679

Don't assert in wxOSX if a shaped window doesn't define a valid shape. A window with wxFRAME_SHAPED style can still not defined any valid shape actually, in which case wxFRAME_SHAPED should be just ignored.

2014-06-09 23:31 VZ, revision 76678

Fix wxMSW build without PCH after recent wxListBox font fix. This should have been part of r76673. See #3577.

2014-06-09 23:31 VZ, revision 76677

Fix wxMSW build without PCH after recent wxListBox font fix. This should have been part of r76671. See #3577.

2014-06-09 22:33 VZ, revision 76676

Fix changing the label of a submenu in wxMSW. Use position, not the ID, to find the native menu items to allow the code in wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel() and DoSetBitmap() to also work with submenus and not just the normal items. Closes #16246.

2014-06-09 22:33 VZ, revision 76675

Fix getting position of wxPopupWindow in wxMSW. Don't offset the returned values by the parent window origin unnecessarily: as popup windows are created as children of the desktop window in wxMSW, their coordinates are already expressed in screen coordinate system (which is exactly the same as display window coordinate system) and we must not try to translate them to it once again, this is completely wrong and was probably a left over from earlier wxPopupWindow implementation in which it wasn't created as a child of desktop. Closes #4440.

2014-06-09 22:30 VZ, revision 76674

Fix getting position of wxPopupWindow in wxMSW. Don't offset the returned values by the parent window origin unnecessarily: as popup windows are created as children of the desktop window in wxMSW, their coordinates are already expressed in screen coordinate system (which is exactly the same as display window coordinate system) and we must not try to translate them to it once again, this is completely wrong and was probably a left over from earlier wxPopupWindow implementation in which it wasn't created as a child of desktop. In 3.0 branch we still need to continue overriding virtual DoGetPosition() for ABI reasons, but don't do anything in it any more. Closes #4440.

2014-06-09 02:54 VZ, revision 76673

Fix wxMSW wxCheckListBox appearance when using larger than normal fonts. Update the height of the items when changing the font to ensure that there is enough space to show the item text when using fonts larger than normal. Closes #3577.

2014-06-09 02:54 VZ, revision 76672

Fix changing wxWindow ID in wxMSW. This must be done both at wxWidgets and MSW level, otherwise changing the ID results in window not recognizing itself as the recipient of the messages sent to it by Windows. Closes #3697.

2014-06-09 02:53 VZ, revision 76671

Fix wxMSW wxCheckListBox appearance when using larger than normal fonts. Update the height of the items when changing the font to ensure that there is enough space to show the item text when using fonts larger than normal. Closes #3577.

2014-06-09 02:24 VZ, revision 76670

Work around broken wxWindow::SetId() in wxMSW 3.0 in XRC code. As wxWindow::SetId() doesn't update the ID at the Windows level in 3.0 and can't be modified to do it because of ABI compatibility concerns, work around this in the code calling SetId() in XRC wxUnknownControlContainer itself. Closes #3697.

2014-06-08 18:39 TIK, revision 76669

When loading wxTextCtrl from XRC files, only call SetHint if the XRC specifies a hint. Otherwise an assert is triggered on multi-line text controls.

2014-06-08 15:55 JS, revision 76668

Reverting previous fix for floating object update in 3.0 branch pending further investigation.

2014-06-05 13:29 VZ, revision 76667

Compilation fix for wxMSW with wxUSE_TOOLTIPS==0. This is another fix after the changes of r76657, see #16265.

2014-06-05 02:28 VZ, revision 76666

Fix spurious assert when creating multiline wxTextCtrl from XRC. Don't try to set the hint unconditionally, this doesn't work with multiline text controls and so resulted in an assert when trying to create one from XRC since the changes of r76629. Closes #16317.

2014-06-05 02:26 VZ, revision 76665

Stop Scintilla timer when the control doesn't have focus. This avoids excessive CPU load due to generating completely unnecessary timer notifications for every wxSTC control in a program. Closes #14938.

2014-06-05 00:47 VZ, revision 76664

Add cast to wxWindow to fix wxUniv/MSW compilation. wxWindowMSW is different from (base class of) wxWindow in wxUniv and needs to be converted to it explicitly.

2014-06-05 00:47 VZ, revision 76663

Including missing header for wxUniv/MSW build. Compilation fix after the changes of r76657, see #16265.

2014-06-04 23:34 VZ, revision 76662

Compilation fix to wxMSW tooltip code when not using PCH. Include the required header when not using PCH. See #16265.

2014-06-04 23:15 VZ, revision 76661

Polish translations update from Mariusz Drozdowski.

2014-06-04 22:55 VZ, revision 76660

Polish translations update from Mariusz Drozdowski.

2014-06-02 20:14 VZ, revision 76659

Compilation fix for wxMSW 64 bit build with icc. This compiler doesn't want to narrow INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE to int, so use wxUIntPtr instead. See #16233.

2014-06-02 15:15 VZ, revision 76658

Explicitly convert int to HANDLE to fix 64 bit wxMSW build. This fixes g++ compilation problem in 64 bit mode after the changes of r76653, it complained about comparing pointer (HANDLE) with an integer. It might also fix compilation with icc. See #16233.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76657

Hide tooltip when its associated window is hidden in wxMSW. Don't leave the tooltip shown on screen if the window it was shown for was hidden or iconized (without moving the mouse, as that would have dismissed the tooltip as well). Closes #16265.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76656

Fix bug with removing items from menus with radio buttons in wxMSW. Update the indices of the radio groups after removing an item from the menu. See #14213.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76655

Use wxWinAPI::Event wrapper class instead of raw Windows event handles. This makes the code slightly shorter and, more importantly, more readable and safer. Closes #16233.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76654

Add a simple wrapper for Windows event handle object. This will be used instead of raw events in wxMSW code in the upcoming commit. See #16233.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76653

Allow wxMSW AutoHANDLE helper to be used with more kinds of handles. Make AutoHANDLE a template to allow specifying the invalid handle value, which is inconsistent across Win32 API and is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE for most kinds of handles but 0 for some others, e.g. event object handles. See #16233.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76652

Ensure that wxPreviewCanvas always gets idle event. Use wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE flag to ensure that the print preview receives idle events even when wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED global idle mode is used. Closes #15104.

2014-06-02 03:15 VZ, revision 76651

Allow access to the currently shown wxInfoBar buttons. Add wxInfoBar::GetButtonCount(), GetButtonId() and HasButtonId() methods. Closes #15110.

2014-06-02 03:13 VZ, revision 76650

Fix bug with removing items from menus with radio buttons in wxMSW. Update the indices of the radio groups after removing an item from the menu. See #14213.

2014-06-02 02:16 VZ, revision 76649

Revert "Correctly detect cancelled drag-and-drop operations in wxGTK." This reverts r75745 (and r75749 fixing a minor problem in it) as this change broke the reporting of the result of the drag and drop operation instead of fixing it. See #15930.

2014-06-01 18:46 VZ, revision 76648

Document that wxCANCEL_DEFAULT doesn't work in wxOSX/Cocoa. See #16268.

2014-06-01 18:46 VZ, revision 76647

Don't check for model in wxDataViewCtrl::InsertColumn() in wxOSX. This isn't done in neither generic nor the GTK versions and prevents from inserting the columns into the control before associating a model with it. Closes #16257.

2014-06-01 18:44 VZ, revision 76646

Document that wxCANCEL_DEFAULT doesn't work in wxOSX/Cocoa. See #16268.

2014-06-01 18:30 VZ, revision 76645

Don't check for model in wxDataViewCtrl::InsertColumn() in wxOSX. This isn't done in neither generic nor the GTK versions and prevents from inserting the columns into the control before associating a model with it. Closes #16257.

2014-06-01 18:28 VZ, revision 76644

Relax checking window visibility in wxGLCanvas::SetCurrent(). It is enough for the window to be shown for SetCurrent() to work, it doesn't have to be actually visible on screen, and checking for this using IsShownOnScreen() resulted in false positives. Closes #16193.

2014-06-01 18:27 VZ, revision 76643

Relax checking window visibility in wxGLCanvas::SetCurrent(). It is enough for the window to be shown for SetCurrent() to work, it doesn't have to be actually visible on screen, and checking for this using IsShownOnScreen() resulted in false positives. Closes #16193.

2014-06-01 18:23 VZ, revision 76642

Don't leak sort descriptors array in wxDataViewCtrl in wxOSX. wxCocoaOutlineDataSource owns its sortDescriptors field, so it must release it in its dealloc() (and also initialize it in its init(), no idea how did it work without this being done before). Closes #16231.

2014-06-01 18:23 VZ, revision 76641

Fix memory leak when using custom renderers in wxOSX wxDataViewCtrl. wxDataViewRendererNativeData retains a reference to the cell passed to it, so the cell must be released after passing it to wxDataViewRendererNativeData to avoid leaking it. Closes #16226.

2014-06-01 18:23 VZ, revision 76640

Don't leak wxDataViewCtrl column objects in wxOSX/Cocoa. NSOutlineView addTableColumn method takes ownership of the column passed to it, so we must release it ourselves to avoid leaking it. Closes #16223.

2014-06-01 18:23 VZ, revision 76639

Don't recreate the native control in wxOSX wxDataViewCtrl dtor. Don't call ClearColumns() which recreates the control in order to remove its columns in wxOSX/Cocoa, just clean up the internal data, the control, and its columns, will soon be deleted anyhow. Closes #16210.

2014-06-01 18:22 VZ, revision 76638

Don't leak sort descriptors array in wxDataViewCtrl in wxOSX. wxCocoaOutlineDataSource owns its sortDescriptors field, so it must release it in its dealloc() (and also initialize it in its init(), no idea how did it work without this being done before). Closes #16231.

2014-06-01 18:22 VZ, revision 76637

Fix memory leak when using custom renderers in wxOSX wxDataViewCtrl. wxDataViewRendererNativeData retains a reference to the cell passed to it, so the cell must be released after passing it to wxDataViewRendererNativeData to avoid leaking it. Closes #16226.

2014-06-01 18:22 VZ, revision 76636

2014-06-01 18:22 VZ, revision 76635

Don't recreate the native control in wxOSX wxDataViewCtrl dtor. Don't call ClearColumns() which recreates the control in order to remove its columns in wxOSX/Cocoa, just clean up the internal data, the control, and its columns, will soon be deleted anyhow. Closes #16210.

2014-05-31 23:01 TIK, revision 76634

wxString::To(U)LongLong has very bad semantics, if that function is not supported on a given platform, it silently fails. Took me hours to spot this as the cause for a strange bug in one of my programs. While not fixing the silent failure (e.g. via #error), this patch adds support for additional platforms.

2014-05-31 16:30 VZ, revision 76633

Remove spurious MSVC check around wxDF_HTML code in wxMSW. For some reason, support for wxDF_HTML in clipboard code was disabled for non-MSVC compilers. Enable it now as it's not compiler-specific at all. See #16297.

2014-05-31 16:30 VZ, revision 76632

Remove spurious MSVC check around wxDF_HTML code in wxMSW. For some reason, support for wxDF_HTML in clipboard code was disabled for non-MSVC compilers. Enable it now as it's not compiler-specific at all. See #16297.

2014-05-31 16:21 VZ, revision 76631

Allow viewing read-only long string wxPropertyGrid properties values. When wxLongStringProperty is read-only, it should still be possible to view its value by opening the dialog normally used for editing it, otherwise this value cannot be seen (nor copied, which is also useful sometimes) at all. Closes #14945.

2014-05-31 16:21 VZ, revision 76630

Return all information from wxListCtrl::GetItem() if no mask specified. This is more useful than returning nothing and is consistent with the generic version behaviour. Closes #3666.

2014-05-30 18:35 VZ, revision 76629

Add support for "hint" property in wxTextCtrl XRC handler. It is convenient to allow specifying the hints directly in the resources.

2014-05-30 18:34 VZ, revision 76628

Add support for "hint" property in wxTextCtrl XRC handler. It is convenient to allow specifying the hints directly in the resources.

2014-05-30 18:34 VZ, revision 76627

Fix cancelling choice of custom colour in wxPropertyGrid. When using wxPGEditor_Choice colour property, cancelling the choice of the custom colour reset the previously selected custom colour. Fix this by correcting the test for the custom colour which didn't work before. Closes #15542.

2014-05-30 18:29 PC, revision 76626

Fix X 'BadPixmap' crash in Blit() with mask when GTK+ <= 2.16, closes #16303

2014-05-30 01:48 VZ, revision 76625

Update the instructions about adding a new wxUSE_FOO symbol. Mention wx/chkconf.h. Provide specific instructions for MSW-specific options. Don't tell people to update wx/univ/setup.h (it is auto-generated) nor setup.h_vms (it is manually updated by the OpenVMS maintainer).

2014-05-30 01:48 VZ, revision 76624

Fix cancelling choice of custom colour in wxPropertyGrid. When using wxPGEditor_Choice colour property, cancelling the choice of the custom colour reset the previously selected custom colour. Fix this by correcting the test for the custom colour which didn't work before. Closes #15542.

2014-05-30 01:48 VZ, revision 76623

Correct handling of the characters outside of the BMP in wxSTC. The code mapping positions for the units of the UTF-13/32 string used by wxWidgets to positions for the units of the UTF-8 string used by Scintilla didn't work correctly for the characters outside of the BMP, i.e. Unicode code points >= 0x10000. See #15621.

2014-05-30 01:48 VZ, revision 76622

Fix wrong resulting string length in UTF-16 to wchar_t conversion. Don't optimize the returned length for surrogate-less case, this does save a pass of the string but at the price of returning a wrong result, which is not worth it, just compute the really required length exactly. Closes #16298.

2014-05-28 01:59 VZ, revision 76616
