+Web Update revision 6450 Posted
+<p>- dCursorMixin: Refactored CursorRecord out of dabo.db.dCursorMixin into
dabo.db. Now both dCursorMixin and dBizobj can use the class to instantiate
their own Record instances. This effectively means that assigning to
biz.Record.field no longer calls cur.setFieldVal() directly but instead calls
biz.setFieldVal(), allowing easy interference to be run by appdev code.<br />
+- dBizobj, dCursorMixin: improved handling of compound primary keys.<br />
+- New: Wrapped the wx.media.MediaCtrl to create the Dabo dMediaControl, which
allows you to add video and audio to your app.<br />
+- dPref: Added 'prefDb' parameter that allows to specify an explicit
preferences database.<br />
+- dBizobj, dCursorMixin: Added the ability to specify which record to
setFieldVal() on, by sending the pk of the row to set.<br />
+- dGrid: Added the VerticalHeaders property. When True, the header captions
are written vertically; i.e., at a 90 degree angle, which is useful if you have
narrow columns and need to display a label for the column. Thanks to Bronwyn
Woods for the idea.<br />
+- dGrid: Added the AutoAdjustHeaderHeight property. When True, the
HeaderHeight of the grid will change to fit the Captions, whether they are
written vertically or not.<br />
+- dGrid: Added dColumn.CellFontBold and DynamicCellFontBold. However, it isn't
displaying on Linux. Left comments in place to tackle later.<br />
+- dPemMixin: Changed the draw object routines to accept an optional dc for
drawing. <br />
+- dGrid: Changed the grid header drawing to use the same dc as the rest of the
header.<br />
+- Added the Object Inspector, which allows you to "inspect" objects in a
running Dabo application. It can be activated by pressing Ctrl-Shift-I.<br />
+- dPemMixin: Added code to account for platform differences in the way that
forms report their absolute position on the screen. Under Windows, instead of
the position of the entire form, the position of the interior (minus title bar,
menus, borders) is returned.<br />
+- dDockForm: Added import of agw version of the AUI classes, if available.
Noted that several properties no longer seem to have any effect when changed;
will need to look at this in more depth.<br />
+- dPemMixin: Improved the calculation for absoluteCoordinates(). It was
failing to take into account that for forms, we should always use (0, 0) as the
Position from which we calculate.<br />
+- dBizobj: Improved the DataStructure changes detection.<br />
+- dSizerMixin: Added the 'Form' property to sizers. It will return the form
with which the sizer is associated, or None.<br />
+- dSizerMixin: Added the getContainingWindow() method that will return the
window that contains the sizer, even if the sizer is nested within other
sizers.<br />
+- Added the ability to embed the _Shell class of dShell in non-dShell
forms.<br />
+- dToolBar: Added the ToolbarItemClass property, allowing you to define your
own subclasses for a toolbar's items. The default remains dToolBarItem.<br />
+- dbPostgreSQL: Made a change to the way the rollback was being called, based
on a suggestion from Jacek KaÅucki who experienced issues with losing a
transaction.<br />
+- dDateTextBox: Fixed problem with the calendar ignoring the setting for
FirstDayOfWeek<br />
+- <br />
+- <br />
+- Added some saner minimum sizes in dPemMixin.<br />
+- Change in getEncoding() behaviour to use getdefaultlocale() instead of
getlocale() function, which returns values usable in the rest of the
framework.<br />
+- Changed how the UI module is imported into the main dabo namespace.<br />
+- Changed the default for self._fontSize from None to 10, as some routines
were expecting it to be an int and throwing errors on receiving a NoneType
value.<br />
+- dabo module: Now initialize localization services *after* the logging system
is in place, or dLocalize will cause a traceback when trying to log
problems.<br />
+- dApp: Refactored dApp.default_form and dApp.formsToOpen into properly-named
properties.<br />
+- dbFirebird: changed rdb$field_length to rdb$character_lenth on request of
Werner F. Bruhin.<br />
+- dbFirebird: Improved handling of non-ASCII values in connection
parameters.<br />
+- dBizobj: Added suppoort for the scanRequeryChildren parameter in the
scanRows method to override ScanRequeryChildren property.<br />
+- dBizobj: Added the _CurrentCursorKey property.<br />
+- dBizobj: Clear the bizobj's cursorRecord when DataStructure and
VirtualFields are set, as well as in requery().<br />
+- dBizobj: Fix for ticket #1351, where the scan method doesn't update
grandchildren bizobjs.<br />
+- dBizobj: Limited child bizobj FK updates to the new rows only.<br />
+- dBizobj: Moved the setCurrentParent() call outside the check for
RequeryWithParent, as the setting of the parent should happen unconditionally.
However, this will result in the side-effect of an implicit requery() if the
cursor for that key doesn't exist yet, *and* RequeryOnLoad is True.<br />
+- dBizobj: Refactored cacheExpired() a bit, with a check for lastRequeryTime
being None.<br />
+- dBizobj: Removed the recently-added force argument from requeryAllChildren,
in favor of adding a note to the docstring that developers should explicitly
call self.expireCache() before requerying, which ensures all cursors (not just
the current one) in a bizobj will get requeried next time the record becomes
active.<br />
+- dBizobj: setFieldVals() now calls setFieldVal() for each field, so that the
afterSetFieldVal() hook will be fired when the field changes.<br />
+- dCursorMixin: Added some verbosity to the class exceptions.<br />
+- dCursorMixin: Fixed issue with updating field that is part of compound PK.
Now _newRecords reflects such changes.<br />
+- dEditBox: Improved the handling of the WordWrap property. Fixed some
punctuation in the Love Boat lyrics in the test code that had been annoying me
for some time. NOTE: the horizontal scrollbar doesn't seem to be drawn in OS
X.<br />
+- dEditor: Implemented the select() method for dEditor.<br />
+- dEvents: Event logging was displaying '?' when getAboluteName() couldn't
find a name for the object. Better to use the default __str__().<br />
+- dGrid: Added DrawObject.draw() positioning condition to fix header captions
display out of the visible area issue.<br />
+- dGrid: Added the SortIndicatorSize and SortIndicatorColor properties, which
allow you some control over the appearance of the little sort triangle
displayed in the header when that column is sorted.<br />
+- dGrid: Fixed _paintHeader() issue if it's called from outside of the OnPaint
event.<br />
+- dGrid: When using dynamic properties, if you need to call grid.getValue() to
determine what dynamic value to return, you would hit an infinite loop. I added
a parameter to the overridden GetValue() method to control this.<br />
+- dLabel: Fixed an issue where resizing could cause an infinite loop.<br />
+- dLabel: Made some changes to how WordWrap works; it was behaving incorrectly
on some platforms.<br />
+- dLabel: Reduced the flickering in the dLabel demo.<br />
+- dLed: control wasn't always resizing properly because of the underlying
panel's minimum sizer settings. Fixed.<br />
+- dMediaControl: Added the ability to clear the control by setting Source =
None.<br />
+- dMediaControl: Added the ability to drop Source files on the control and
have them loaded.<br />
+- dPemMixin: Removed manual Ctrl+A support code for Windows platform, since it
works properly since wxPython 2.8.10 version at last.<br />
+- dPref: Added the __contains__() method so that pref objects support the "x
in y" syntax for determining if a key exists in a given preference object.<br />
+- Fixed a problem that was due to the way we were calling the super() of
__init__(): we were taking the keyword params 'properties' and 'attProperties'
and passing them as non-keyword params. This was causing some subtle errors
that mostly manifested in the Class Designer.<br />
+- Fixed test.py to set the width of the frame, and not the object themselves.
Previously, the MinSize for the object was being set via an explicit Width
setting, making resizing problematic. Now the form is sized, allowing the sizer
to handle the sizing of the object.<br />
+- Grabbed the latest translations from launchpad and added them to the locale
directory.<br />
+- Modified the getItemIndex() of dMenu method to take either a caption
(existing behavior), or an actual menu item.<br />
+- Moved the methods that gather system information out of the About dialogs
and into the uiwx module. <br />
+- On Windows, scriptDir was 'C:\\ss\\ui' while appDir was 'c:\\ss', causing
isSubDir() to fail. Fixed but will cause problems if someone has meaningful
case-sensitive directory names, but that would seem to be stupid so I'm not
worrying about it.<br />
+- reportWriter: Added CurrentBandName and CurrentBandObj reportWriter
properties, inspired by Nate's ticket #1380.<br />
+- reportWriter: Raise an exception if invalid rfxml passed, instead of
printing the message and then having an exception thrown because form isn't
defined.<br />
+- ui module: Added the sendIdle() method to help with thread message
processing.<br />
+- ui module: the latest wxPython changed the return value of HitTest() to
sometimes return a single value instead of a 2-tuple, so code was added to
handle this properly.<br />
+- Updated dLocalize to not prevent the program from running if the translation
for the language is not found. Added support for additional aliases for
languages.<br />
+- ClassDesigner: Added an option to the dialog that appears when you first run
the Class Designer to re-open the last class that you worked on.<br />
+- ClassDesigner: added the dMediaControl to the Class Designer<br />
+- ClassDesigner: Fixed an issue reported by Sibylle Koczian in which running
the wizard for adding controls from the data environment would throw a "String
must be present in the choices" error.<br />
+- ClassDesigner: Fixed an issue with the restoration of lists and tuples as
values in cdxml files. Trac issue #1406.<br />
+- CxnEditor: Added provisions for handling application CryptoKey values. Note
that when the file is saved, the encrypted password is saved, but not the
encryption key, for obvious reasons. In order to re-edit the file, you will
have to enter the CryptoKey when opening up a saved file. If the PyCrypto
package is not installed, none of the CryptoKey changes will be visible.<br />
+- PrefEditor: Removed the custom PrefDialog class, as it is no longer
needed.</p>
