application framework for C++ and other languages.
To get wxWidgets, please go to the download page at
http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
This is mainly a bug fix release; please see the change log below for
details.
wxWidgets 2.8.12 changes:
All:
- Fixed a bug in UNC path testing.
- Improved command line parser usage help.
- Fixed race condition bugs in wxCondition.
- Added wxT_2() for forward compatibility with wxWidgets 3. Use it in
initialization of wxCmdLineEntryDesc struct elements and (very few) other
places where wxT() is required currently but won't be allowed in v3.
- Fixed crash on exit caused by deleting old logger in wxLogChain dtor.
All (GUI):
- wxRTC: fixed style selection resetting after editing a style.
- wxRTC: can now edit line spacing in .1 increments from 1 to 2.
- wxRTC: fixed wrong line spacing and space after paragraph calculations.
- wxRTC: GetStyleMergedWithBase now detects loops.
- wxRTC: wxRichTextCtrl::ApplyStyle now applies a paragraph style at the
cursor without needing a selection, and setting the default style now
avoids duplicating character attributes in subsequently typed text when
they exist in the paragraph style.
- wxRTC: fixed IsPositionVisible to scroll a position into view correctly.
- wxRTC: fixed a problem with paste resetting the content paragraph style.
- wxRTC: style list box now copes with names duplicated across style types.
Also fixed wxRichTextStyleDefinition::GetStyleMergeWithBase similarly.
- Fixed error in generic tree control CalculatePositions.
- Added wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST to wxFileSelector function.
- Added wxDataViewCtrl Get/SetValueByRow functions for forward compatibility
with 2.9.
- Right-clicking is now supported in any kind of wxAuiToolBar button.
- Fixed a bug in wxAcceleratorEntry::IsOk.
- wxGraphicsContext::DrawBitmap: x and y coordinates no longer affected by
stretch factor.
- Fixed an assert in wxGrid on wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST.
- Fixed bug in generic wxTreeCtrl where SelectItem toggles the selection if
the item is already in the desired state.
- Fixed bug in wxSizer::Replace(size_t, wxSizerItem *) whereby
SetContainingSizer
is not called.
- Fixed compilation with libpng 1.5 and above.
- Removed ugly black (simple) border around wxHTML help window.
wxMSW:
- wxOwnerDrawnComboBox and wxComboCtrl with wxCB_READONLY window style now
have more native-like focus indicator rendering.
- Fixed wxOwnerDrawnComboBox keyboard handling: drop-down is no longer
displayed when arrow key is pressed (without Alt).
- In some rare cases wxOwnerDrawnComboBox drop-down animation could display
as garbage. This has now been greatly reduced (mcben).
- Fixed OLE date conversion bug.
- Added check for double window handle creation.
- Fixed WIN64 crash in wxStyledTextCtrl.
- Fixed Watcom compilation when omitting threads.
- Fixed wxFileName::IsFileReadable on Windows 98.
- Fixed bug whereby clicking anywhere inside wxListBox generates
wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event. You need to set
wxUSE_LISTBOX_SELECTION_FIX
to 1 in include/wx/msw/listbox.h to enable this binary-incompatible fix.
wxGTK:
- Fix for --disable-radiobtn compilation.
- Fixed a bug on GTK+ only whereby wxGrid scrolls back to the previous
edit position
when another cell is edited.
- Fix for missing menubar problem under some window managers where menu
bar height is
reported as 0 when the menu hasn't fully realized yet. Now updates
the height during
idle time if it is 0, otherwise no menu is shown.
- Improved list control and tree control selection text theme
compatibility by adding
wxSYS_COLOUR_LISTBOXHIGHLIGHTTEXT colour index.
- wxComboCtrl and wxOwnerDrawnComboBox had wrong background colours
under some
themes (Marcin Wojdyr).
- Added thread-safe fixes to socket code.
wxUniv:
- Fixed assertion in tree control sample due to colour index not being
supported.
