+ [Laurent Rocher]
- GUI.pm : Change version to 0.0.671
- GUI.xs : Change version to 0.0.671
- README : Change version to 0.0.671
- Readme.txt : Change version to 0.0.671
- GUI.h : Add av_delete macro for perl 5.005
- GUI_Events.cpp : In DoEvent_NEM_Menu correct event test (use SvOK).
- MANIFEST : Update file
+ [Steve Pick]
- GUI.xs : LoadImage() now tries to find resources in the exe first,
and only if that fails does it look on-disk. This means you can
use ResHacker or some similar resource editor to add resources to
your distributed exe.
- GUI.xs : Win32::GUI::LoadResource(NAME) added - loads a resource
from the current executable and returns it as a scalar. Resource
type must be RCDATA (i.e. raw data).
+ [Steve Pick]
- ListView.xs : Made ListViews aware of the -background option.
- Toolbar.xs : Implemented all of Ramy's perl toolbar extension in
XS code. Added constants as well.
- GUI_Constants.cpp : Added tons of toolbar-related constants. Note
that you should probably use the TBSTYLE_xxx constants instead of the
BTNS_xxx constants for toolbar button styles right now as the latter
doesnt work depending on your compiler.
- GUI.pm : Added constants
- GUI_Events.cpp : Fixed NeedText so it doesnt crash on exit (needed
to extend memory reserved by one byte). Modified the way ButtonClick
is handled for toolbars - If a dropdown menu should be expanded,
there is a new second argument to ButtonClick which is set to 1.
- TreeView.xs : Fix in InsertItem. Wasn't reserving enough memory for
the strings form the -text option.
- StatusBar.xs : Parts method now detects scalar/array context and
returns # parts / list of parts as appropriate
- GUI_MessageLoops.cpp : Fix for noflicker (previously, the whole
client area was not validated - now it is), also added onPaint event
to NEM (for graphic objects).
- GUI.xs : Added GetEvent() and SetEvent() methods. GetEvent(EVENTNAME)
will return a coderef to the handler for the specified NEM event
name (e.g. "Resize"), SetEvent(EVENTNAME,CODEREF) will set a handler
for the event. Made AbsLeft() and AbsTop() accept co-ordinates.
+ [Laurent Rocher]
- GUI_MessageLoops.cpp : Revrite WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC,
WM_CTLCOLORBTN, WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX event handling in CommonMsgLoop.
Correct Both event handling in NEM_WindowMsgLoop.
+ [Jez White & Laurent Rocher]
- Rebar.xs : Added documentation for all the methods .
New methods : ShowBand, HideBand, MoveBand, GetBandBorder,
GetBarHeight.
Fix BandInfo crash.
+ [Steve Pick & Laurent Rocher]
- GUI.xs : Extended support for scrollbars in a window's non-client
area. Added NEM event "onScroll" and OEM event "_Scroll" for Window
and DialogBox. New functions for Window/Dialog:
$w->ScrollRange(SCROLLBAR,[MIN,MAX]), $w->ScrollPos(SCROLLBAR,[POS]),
$w->ScrollPage(SCROLLBAR,[PAGESIZE]),
$w->Scroll(SCROLLBAR, OPERATION, POSITION). Docs in source as usual.
Check GUI.xs.
- GUI_Events and GUI.h : Support for _Scroll and onScroll events for
windows / dialogs
- GUI_MessageLoops : Fix for $object->Result(x) method, [thanks go to
Glenn Linderman for pointing the problem out]
- StatusBar.xs : Various fixes and optimizations by Laurent Rocher.
- GUI_Constants.cpp : Added Scrollbar constants (SB_*) and statusbar
constants (SBT_*)
+ [Steve Pick]
- Added StatusBar.xs to handle new StatusBar methods. Each method is
documented in this file, but the documentation has not been re-generated.
+ [Steve Pick]
- GUI.xs : Made ProgressBar aware of -foreground and -background
colour settings
- GUI.xs : Added Result(handle, code) call for explicitly setting the
returned LRESULT from a handler. (normally the value returned from
Perl handlers was not returned from their calling wndproc, this
allows you to specify a result that will be returned.)
- GUI_MessageLoops.cpp : If CommonMsgLoop must be called then it is
called before any Hook handlers are called.
+ [Steve Pick]
- GUI.xs : Huge update to Hook() and UnHook(). You can now add
multiple hooks per message, catch WM_NOTIFY and WM_COMMAND messages,
and it works with both New and Old Event Models. Documentation for
both functions is present.
- GUI_MessageLoops.cpp : Addition of DoHook() function and DoHook()
calls in NEM_WindowMsgLoop, WindowMsgLoop, and NEM_ChildMsgLoop.
DoHook is internal.
+ [Glenn Linderman]
- GUI.pm : In MakeMenu, Set a default event name to every item with
an empty string.
- GUI_Options.cpp : Added new menu options.
+ [Jeremy White & Laurent Rocher]
- TabStip.xs : Add new methods and some documentation.
+ [Steve Pick]
- GUI_MessageLoops.cpp : Added anti-flicker code.
- GUI_Options.cpp : Added -noflicker option to window/dialogbox.
- GUI.h : Added flickerFree property to USERDATA and CREATESTRUCT structs
- GUI.pm : Added documentation line for -noflicker option
+ [Steve Pick & Laurent Rocher]
- GUI.xs : Left() and Top() now not perform ScreenToClient() on the
rectangle for non child window.
