New in wxUiEditor 1.2.0 (Nov 28, 2023)

  • Added:
  • Code can now be generated for wxRuby3 -- see https://github.com/mcorino/wxRuby3
  • New Doc panel (Windows version only) will display a URL containing documentation for the currently selected widget. A toolbar in this panel lets you choose between C++, Python and Ruby documentation.
  • New Preferences dialog available under the File menu lets you set several global preferences
  • wxTimer is now supported as a child of a dialag, frame or form version of wxPanel
  • DialogBlocks projects saved as XML can be imported
  • wxAuiToolBar can now be created as a form (it creates a class instead of a child widget)
  • Added support for additional integer and floating point validators for wxTextCtrl
  • Folders now have their own code language preference that can override the Project's code preference
  • Added support for wxPropertySheetDialog as a form
  • Tooltips set in wxAuiNotebook pages are now displayed when hovering over the tab display rather than the page itself
  • You can now set selected and non-selected fonts for wxAuiNotebook tabs
  • Added dialog_units property to the Project properties list to change default units for new dimensions
  • Custom controls now have a construction property allowing you to replace the normal wxUiEditor-generated construction of the control with your own code.
  • Changed:
  • Controls that have one or more default window styles set (e.g., wxPanel has wxTAB_TRAVERSAL set) can now have that style unchecked and that state will be stored with the project file.
  • Color properties dialog now supports all CSS color names
  • Generated code for colors now uses a CSS HTML String (#RRGGBB) instead of numerical values for red, green and blue.
  • Generated code for wxRibbonToolBar images are now scaled on high DPI displays
  • A control within a wxDialog or wxFrame with the focus property set will now call SetFocus() after all other controls have been created.
  • Limiting the platforms for a container (such as a wxPanel) will now also limit the platforms for any child widgets.
  • C++ src_preamble contents is now placed at the top of the file instead of after the includes.
  • Custom font point size can be set to -1 to indicate that a default point size should be used.
  • Importing wxFormBuilder and wxGlade projects now supports converting a construction property for a custom control.
  • Fixed:
  • You can now change the Window styles in a wxRichTextCtrl without generating an invalid constructor.
  • Color properties are correctly saved in a project
  • Widgets set to specific platforms will also place events in a conditional block
  • For C++, widgets set to specific platforms will have the header member declarations in a conditional block
  • C++ code generation for fonts with a negative point size fixed

New in wxUiEditor 1.1.2 (Jul 13, 2023)

  • Added:
  • The C++ Settings in forms now have a initial_enum_string property that allows you to set the initial enumeration value to something other than the default "wxID_HIGHEST + 1".
  • There is a new 'Global Edit Custom IDs` under the Tools menu for setting prefixes and suffixes for your custom IDs.
  • The C++ Settings in forms now have properties for local and system header files to include in either the generated source or header files.
  • wxMenu and wxMenu items now have a stock_id property allowing you to choose from wxWidgets stock items.
  • Added support for wxAUI_BUTTON_STATE flags when creating a wxAuiToolBar tool.
  • Changed:
  • Improved generation of default filenames for a class when the class name is changed
  • wxFrame and the form version of wxPanel now also support 2-step construction.
  • Embedded image filenames can now contain characters that are invalid as part of a variable name.
  • Allow custom ids to have an assignment to a value as part of the id. In C++, the id will then be generated as a static const int instead of an enumerated value. In Python, this will be added verbatim after any auto-generated ids.
  • If you previously used either base_hdr_includes or base_src_includes properties, then when the project is loaded they will be automatically converted to header_preamble and source_preamble properties to better reflect what it's for, and to avoid confusion with the new local and system includes properties.
  • Fixed:
  • Code generation for Dialogs with an extra_style property fixed.
  • Code generation for wxToolBar drop-down tools with menu items fixed.
  • Code generation for wxGridBagSizer when growablecols or growablerows specified
  • Code generation for Wizard using wxWidgets 3.1 corrected
  • Code generation for adding an item to a wxPropertyGrid has corrected
  • Code is now generated for a sub-menu that has a bitmap property set
  • Code generation for event handler of a wxStdDialogButtonSizer Close button corrected
  • Header file code generation could create uninitialized wxStdDialogButtonSizer buttons under special circumstances -- this has been fixed.

New in wxUiEditor 1.1.1 Beta (May 30, 2023)

  • The DialogBlocks native project importer has only been partially imported, and is not ready for testing.

New in wxUiEditor 1.1.0 (Mar 6, 2023)

  • Added:
  • ability to generate wxPython code (supports wxPython 4.2 including wx.BitmapBundle and roughly 140 widgets).
  • Ability to add your own code at the end of generated files. This code will be preserved even when the file is re-generated.
  • A line length property has been added to the C++ and Python Project properties, and most code will be wrapped so that it is less than this limit.
  • --gen_cpp and --gen_python command line switches added. Using one of these switches will generate any code that needs to be updated, and then exit. A log file will be created containing any code generation messages. This will be the project file with the extension replaced by .log.
  • Stretchable space can now be added to toolbars.
  • Added support for dropdown toolbar items that contain menu items.
  • wxToolBar and wxAuiToolBar individual tools now have a disabled property.
  • wxStatusBar fields property now supports unique width and style for each field.
  • New platforms property for most controls that inherit from wxWindow. This gives you the option of limiting the creation of a control to specific platforms.
  • Menu items can now contain multiple accelerators (requires wxWidgets 3.1.6 or later)
  • XRC now generates XML for toolbar separators.
  • Folders:
  • You can now place forms inside of folders to make it easier to organize your project when you have a large number of forms. Besides organizing the Navigation pane, folders also let you override properties such as the output folder for just the forms contains within that folder. The new folder command is available on the right side of the Forms panel of the toolbar, or from the Move sub-menu when you right-click on a form.
  • Context menu:
  • The right-click menu for a widget in the Navigation Panel will sometimes have a Change to option. The 1.0 release supported changing most sizers. New to 1.1 is the ability to change some widgets as well. The following widgets can be changed to another widget in the group:
  • 2-state wxCheckBox, 3-state wxCheckBox, wxRadioBox
  • wxChoice, wxComboBox, wxListBox
  • wxAuibook, wxChoicebook, wxListbook, wxNotebook, wxSimplebook
  • Changed:
  • the Generate Code command now let's you choose between C++, Python or XRC code generation.
  • A user can no longer enter an invalid C++ variable name.
  • All C++ generated files include clang-format off and on comments around generated code so that if you add your own code at the end, you can run it through clang-format.
  • contents property for wxCheckListBox and wxRearrangeCtrl now supports setting initial checked state for each string.
  • When a form is duplicated, the class name and any filenames specified for the form are now unique within the project.
  • Improved XRC generation of optional static line above a standard dialog button -- this now matches what the C++ version would look like.
  • XRC files now include a comment warning that regeneration will eliminate any hand edits.
  • Fixed:
  • code generation for button without a label fixed.
  • Code generation for wxGrid with positive row label size fixed.
  • Code generation for wxGrid with non-default SetSelectionMode fixed.
  • Code generation for wxPanel events fixed.
  • Code generation for setting custom foreground colour for wxStaticText fixed.
  • Fixed browsing for an XRC output file to generate XRC to -- it now defaults to the current project directory, and can handle a relative path.
  • Fixed non-combined XRC generation.
  • Fixed several problems when importing XRC files.
  • #include <wx/aui/auibar.h> now added when creating a wxAuiToolBar
