Version 4.16, September 28th 2007

* Element panel "Use these defaults" checkbox now correctly reflects
the state of the current selected element.
* Added --local-settings switch to store all settings and
application files in the application directory, to make DialogBlocks
portable between machines.
* Added CFG configuration property to Windows compiler
configurations, to allow libraries to be compiled with different
versions of a compiler, for example. The value of CFG is passed to the
makefile.
* Added a path for each major version of VC++, to avoid switching
MSVCDIR if you have multiple versions of the compiler. DialogBlocks will
look at the specific path first, depending on the value of "Compiler
version" in the configuration, and then MSVCDIR.
* Added "8 (Express)" setting for "Compiler version" in VC++ Project
configurations.
* No longer closes all projects when creating a new project, if the
multiple projects setting is checked.
* Fixed code generation bug in wxAuiNotebook whereby
GetBitmapResource was being used when GetIconResource return the page icon.
* Added checks to avoid invalid grid bag sizer values.
* Fixed an infinite loop when invalid characters are entered into a
property and the focus is changed.
* Now writes the dontattachtoframe XRC attribute if a toolbar is a
child of an AUI container.
* Fixed a bug with finding the RC file within project.
* Now doesn't add the C++ XRC file to the makefile if there were no
XRC filenames and therefore no corresponding C++ file to generate (fixes
spurious C++ file in makefile problem).
* Now does AUI Update() recursively in preview so nested AUI layouts
are updated.
* Moved the resource archive settings to the Resources page.
* Added "Generate id tag" option to XRC Settings page, to record
identifier values. DialogBlocks will also read these values when
importing from XRC. (This is a non-standard usage and the tags will be
ignored by wxXRC.)
* Recompiled Linux version on wxWidets 2.8.6, elminating wxSpinCtrl bug.
* Bundle on Windows now contains wxWidgets 2.8.6.

Best regards,

Julian

Hi Julian.

I noticed you also removed emitting the now obsolete standard buttons
line for wxPropertySheetDialog when using XRC. Maybe you had done that
before, but I was still using 4.13. Thanks for that.

Not a real issue, but the new events that were added in 2.8.5 to
wxAuiNotebook do not show up as checkboxes in the corresponding Event
Handlers tab.

I also have a question. When I originally started experimenting with
DialogBlocks, I think it was version 2.x but it may have been 3.x, I
used to have a separate menu bar. Nowadays I have it defined inside
the frame, but back then I was using "Event Sources" to create the
appropriate handler at the correct place. Those Event Sources lines
used to be huge (a single-line edit control, and it still is). A few
weeks back I was experimenting a little bit, and I noticed that
nowadays I can't seem to generate event handlers like that anymore.
The "class" choicebox in the Event Handler tab always shows only a
single class (that owns the menubar), or is empty altogether (for
external menus). What am I doing wrong? Its not really an issue
because I don't really use it in that way anymore, except for popup
menus and there too the "class" choicebox is always empty even when I
add Event Sources, so I have to manually create the event handlers.
Maybe its operator error or because I am using XRC (I wasn't back
then), or was something broken, I don't know.
