Changes in Win32lib v0.54
Below is a list of the changes in Win32Lib v0.54.
This release WILL BREAK some code. I'm very sorry about that.
The problem is that a few routines were badly named and have been renamed in
this release.
I'm trying to get some consistancy in the naming convention used.
I have NOT released this code to the SourceForge website yet as I'm still
tidying up the documentation. I'm expecting to loaded up in about 24-48
hours.
Speak up now or forever hold your peace.
---------------------------------
-Fixed.
Can now use setHint() an a top-level window.
-Fixed
No longer triggers an onScroll event if the scroll position
hasn't actually changed.

The freeing of string memory has been made reenterant.

getMultIndices() and getMultItems() now cope with no items

-Enhanced.
warnErr() now allows the user can now opt to ignore repeated
warnings.
-Enhanced window scrollbars

events
-Enhanced. create(), createEx(), setClientSize(), setSize(),
setPosition(), setPenPosition()
You can now supply dimensions relative to the control's parent
in terms of percentages, plus optional pixel offset.
-Enhanced.
Extra validation is being done to ensure that Window Handles are
being used with the correct control ID.
-Enhanced
The event handlers onXXX can now be set for the Screen ID. This
will capture all events of the given type for all controls in
the application. For example onKeyDown[Screen] will be fired
for all KeyDown events on all controls.
-Added getVScrollPos(), getHScrollPos(), setVScrollPos(), setHScrollPos()
These get and set the Vertical and Horizontal positions of
scrollbars that are attached to windows via the WS_H/VSCROLL
-Added classDefaults()
This allows you to set the default styles for each control.
-Added setClientRect()
This resizes your window so that the client area is as specified.
-Added doEvents()
This allows Windows to check for messages/events during event
handling.
-Added acquire_mem(), release_mem(), new_memset(), and manage_mem()
These are the new memory management routines that are used in
win32lib. The use of free(), allocate() and allocate_string()
is discouraged inside win32lib.ew. Please use the new routines
instead.
-Added getPosition()
This returns a sequence containing the pixel position of the
top lefthand corner of the control
-Added copyFile(), deleteFile(), moveFile(), createDirectory(),
getTmpPath(), getTempFile()
These are wrappers for the Windows file/directory commands.
-Added openDialog()
This simulates a dialog-type window. It opens the specified
window and directs all events to that window until it is closed.
-Renamed
setPosition() has been renamed to setPenPosition()
-Renamed
moveWindow() has been renamed to setPosition()
-Renamed
getExtent() has been renamed getSize()

tk_fileio.e (File Input-Output)
tk_maths.e (Mathematical functions)
tk_misc.e (Miscellaneous)
These can be used with any Eu project.
These files are "included" by win32lib.ew
-Changed.
onClick events now fired for all non-static controls that don't
capture mouse events. For example, the StatusBar.
-Changed
Now uses the DoubleClick time interval for the maximum mouse
click time tolerence.

The routines free_strings(), allot_string(), and
allocate_struct() have been removed.
