New in wxFormBuilder 3.1.68 RC1 (May 5, 2010)

  • Generation of inherited class (F6) preserves all user code changes now (so it can be used more than once) (spedgenius).

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.67 (Feb 19, 2010)

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.65 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • Fixed menu items' shortcuts in XRC
  • Implemented context menus for forms, containers and widgets. An instance
  • of wxMenu class can be now assigned directly to these objects. The context menu
  • is displayed on a right-mouse-button click by default, but the behaviour can be
  • changed by "context_menu" widget's option. Note that this feature is supported
  • in C++ and Python code generation only.
  • FS#280 - wxMenu not part of a wxMenuBar
  • Fixed startup crash on MacOS X 10.5.7 (for wxWidgets 2.8.10)
  • Fixed loading of wxTreeListCtrl events that were inherited from wxTreeCtrl in
  • wxAdditions.
  • FS#444 - python code generation error
  • FS#428 - extra import(s) in wxpython code generation
  • FS#446 - Can't add Submenu to a Menu
  • Menubar and toolbar can be inserted into project as top-level objects (they will
  • be generated as stand-alone classes which can be instantiated later or directly into XRC).
  • See 'Forms' palette.
  • ^ Significantly improved speed of adding/removing of project items on large projects.
  • ^ Significantly improved speed of undo/redo/paste operations on large projects (note for existing projects:
  • the patch will have an effect after manual expansion and collapsion of all form-based items in the object tree).

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.64 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • FS#389 - Center option for dialogs should be set to wxBOTH by default
  • FS#391 - Change (some) user notifications from status bar to message box

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.63 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • Fixed code generation of wxGrid events in Python

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.62 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • Added support for wxSearchCtrl widget
  • Added support for wxAnimationCtrl widget
  • Fixed code generation of system colors in Python
  • FS#430 - Spacer code generation in Python is incomplete (no proportion param)
  • FS#432 - Fatal error when resizing Object Properties

  • FS#424 - No encoding declared
  • FS#425 - ListBook: C++ code instead of Python code

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.60 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • Moved the 'event_handler' type to the Forms plug-in. This allows different event handling methods to be used per Frame/Dialog/Panel. This makes it even easier to create Dialogs that don't need any inherited class to work.
  • Removed the 'virtual_decl' 'event_handler' method because it seemed like hassle to get a linker error instead of a compiler error. It also cleans up the options a bit.

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.59 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • FS#367 - Project-Properties: encoding is ignored. Fixed ANSII file generation - Loaden
  • FS#357 - wxFB overrides file without confirmation from user. - hykwok
  • FS#215 - Abstract or normal class generation. - c16
  • FS#394 - Separator reference not accessible through generated C++ code - pmendl
  • FS#379 - Un/escaped some property values in XRC - malcom

New in wxFormBuilder 3.01.58 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • FS#345 - "Crash on Mac OS X when loading plugins"
  • Fixed crash on close when showing a propgrid from the wxAdditions plugin
  • in the Designer window.
  • FS#351 - "Can't edit choises if the '\' is used"

New in wxFormBuilder 3.00.56 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • Added #include to header file when using internationalization.
  • Custom control now inherits from wxWindow, to provide common properties.
  • FS#336 - "Incorrect ScrollBar Disconnection"
  • FS#310 - "FB should not try to disconnect event handlers in dialog/frame's destructor."
  • This is now optional, see the "disconnect_events" property of the Project object.
  • FS#337 - "Incorrect Vertical Toolbar Rendering"
  • FS#328 - "Unknown style flag wxTE_BESTWRAP for wxTextCtrl"
  • Removed the flag, it is the default, and #define'd to 0x0000, so it was pointless anyway.
  • FS#339 - "wx/icon.h not included when using resource icons in wxToolBar"
  • ^ Removed the two project-level XRC properties, "bitmaps" and "icons".
  • These never worked properly, and wxFB is not the right place to enter that information,
  • a standalone XRC file written with any text-editor would be much better.
  • This was prompted by, and caused the closure of, these issues:
  • FS#340 - "bitmap resources are unnamed, preventing use of wxXmlResource::Get()->LoadBitmap()"
  • FS#329 - "XRC Properties - Follow on"

New in wxFormBuilder 3.00.54 RC6 (Feb 19, 2010)

  • FS#308 - Bugs in non-interactive (-g) mode
  • Note: stderr is not normally available on Windows for GUI apps.
  • If -g is used, all logging goes to stderr and debug output.
  • Either start the process with a pipe for stderr (most IDEs will do this for you), or use a Debug Viewer to watch the output.
  • FS#311 - wxFB 3.0 RC5 still generating incorrect wxMenu(item) code

New in wxFormBuilder 3.0.53 RC5 (Jan 21, 2008)

  • Fixed missing C code generation for menu separators and menu item bitmaps.
