New resources:
New resources:
PtTerminalFont() is deprecated; use PtTerminalFontInfo() instead.

Pt_ARG_LIST_FLAGS includes a new flag, Pt_LIST_NO_COLUMN_LINES, that makes the list not display the lines that separate the list's columns.
This widget now supports drag and drop; see “Drag and drop.”
When you unrealize a PtOSContainer widget, its offscreen memory is automatically released. When you rerealize the widget, the offscreen memory is reallocated.

This section describes the changes made to:
New resources:
Deprecated resources:

The Pt type of Pt_ARG_BKGD_IMAGE is now Image.
New resources:
Pt_COMBOBOX_ALT_DOWN is a new bit for Pt_ARG_CBOX_FLAGS.
New resources:
Resources moved to PtWidget:
The Pt_AUTO_EXTENT bit of Pt_ARG_CONTAINER_FLAGS now causes the container to recalculate its preferred size when any of its children are realized, unrealized, moved, or resized. (This bit previously didn't apply to unrealizing.)
The PtContainerCallback_t structure that's passed to Pt_CB_RESIZE now includes the old and new dimensions of the container.
New resources:
Pt_FS_NO_ROOT_DISPLAY is a new bit for Pt_ARG_FS_FLAGS.
New resources:
Pt_ARG_LIST_DNDSEL_COLOR is a new resource.
The actions included in the callback data for Pt_CB_SCROLL_MOVE now include Pt_SCROLL_JUMP.
Pt_ARG_LIST_SCROLL_RATE is now of type unsigned char instead of short.
Pt_LIST_COLUMN_NO_STRING is a new flag for Pt_ARG_LIST_COLUMN_ATTR
New resources:
| Resource | Replaces |
|---|---|
| Pt_ARG_MAXIMUM | Pt_ARG_GAUGE_MAXIMUM |
| Pt_ARG_MINIMUM | Pt_ARG_GAUGE_MINIMUM |
| Pt_ARG_ORIENTATION | Pt_ARG_GAUGE_ORIENTATION |
| Pt_CB_GAUGE_VALUE_CHANGED | N/A |
New bits for Pt_ARG_GAUGE_FLAGS:
Deprecated bits for Pt_ARG_GAUGE_FLAGS:
New resources:
New bits for Pt_ARG_TREE_FLAGS:
Deprecated bits for Pt_ARG_TREE_FLAGS:
New resources:
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
New resources:
New resources:
New bits for Pt_ARG_BUTTON_TYPE:
The attributes member of the PtMultiTextControl_t structure is now of type PtMultiTextAttributes_t const *.
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
The default values of Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MAX and Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MIN are INT_MAX and INT_MIN.
Pg_POLY_FILL and Pg_POLY_STROKE have been deleted from Pt_ARG_POLYGON_FLAGS. Use Pt_ARG_INSIDE_COLOR (defined by PtGraphic) and Pt_ARG_COLOR (defined by PtBasic) instead.
New resources:
The flags for the Pt_ARG_PRINT_FLAGS resource have been replaced.
The Pt_PRINTSEL_ADDNEW and Pt_PRINTSEL_RETURN subtypes of the Pt_CB_PRINT_PROPS callbacks have been deprecated; the Pt_PRINTSEL_INSTALLER, Pt_PRINTSEL_PROPERTIES_EXITED, Pt_PRINTSEL_INSTALLER_EXITED, Pt_PRINTSEL_NOPRINTER, and Pt_PRINTSEL_PRINTER subtypes have been added.
New resource:
You don't have to set bits in Pt_ARG_REGION_FIELDS to make changes to the region's resources take effect. This resource now indicates which portions of the region were changed the last time that you set any resources, including the flags, sensitivity, opacity, origin, and position.
This class has become a superclass for widgets that scroll. Use PtScrollContainer as a viewport that contains other widgets. PhAB automatically converts an existing PtScrollArea into a PtScrollContainer.
New resources:
Pt_SCROLLAREA_ENABLE_PAN has been added to, and Pt_SCROLL_AREA_TRACK_FOCUS removed from, Pt_ARG_SCROLLAREA_FLAGS.
PtScrollAreaCanvas() is a new convenience function.
This widget is now a subclass of PtGauge. Hence, it inherits the following resources instead of defining them:
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
Deleted bits for Pt_ARG_SCROLLBAR_FLAGS:
New bits for Pt_ARG_SCROLLBAR_FLAGS:
The actions included in the callback data for Pt_CB_SCROLL_MOVE now include Pt_SCROLL_JUMP.
The appearance of this widget has changed a lot. Labels are no longer part of the widget; place PtLabel widgets around the slider if required.
New resources:
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
Deleted bits for Pt_ARG_SLIDER_FLAGS:
The reason_subtype for Pt_CB_SLIDER_MOVE is now used and can be one of the following:
New resource:
The Subst member has been added to PtTerminalCharset_t.
The C type for Pt_ARG_CURSOR_POSITION is int, not short.
Pt_ARG_TIMER_INITIAL and Pt_ARG_TIMER_REPEAT are now unsigned long instead of long.
Deprecated resources:
The types supported by Pt_ARG_INDICATOR_TYPE have completely changed:
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| Pt_ONE_OF_MANY | N/A |
| Pt_N_OF_MANY | N/A |
| Pt_ROUND | N/A |
| Pt_RADIO | Pt_TOGGLE_RADIO |
| Pt_TICK | N/A |
| Pt_CHECK | Pt_TOGGLE_CHECK |
| N/A | Pt_TOGGLE_OUTLINE |
New resources:
PtTreeAddAfter() and PtTreeAddFirst() now return 0 on success, or -1 if the item is already in a tree.
PtTreeFreeItems() now returns 0 on success, or -1 if the items are still in a tree.
The expand member of the PtTreeCallback_t structure passed to Pt_CB_TREE_STATE is now used whether expanding or collapsing an item. PtTreeCollapse() now returns the value of the expand member (the prototype has changed).
The PtTreeItem_t structure has changed to allow for future enhancements. This:
short set_img, unset_img;
has been replaced by:
union {
struct { short set, unset; } img;
} attr;
PtTreeModifyItemString() is a new convenience function that changes the string for a PtTree item.
The way the PtTty uses file descriptors has changed. Instead of two FDs, it can now have three: one for reading, one for writing, and one to give to a child process. Each can be set separately. This way, it's possible to use a PtTty with a pair of pipes instead of a pseudo tty. It's also possible to close the “slave” end of the pty after giving it to a child process.
New resources:
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
New resources:
The Pt_CB_RAW callbacks are now invoked even if the widget's class methods consume the event. In this case, Ph_CONSUMED is set in the event's processing_flags member.
The Pt_ETCH_HIGHLIGHT bit of Pt_ARG_FLAGS is deprecated; use the Pt_ARG_BASIC_FLAGS defined by PtBasic.
The following resources are no longer relevant, and have been deleted:
The following bits have been added to Pt_ARG_WINDOW_RENDER_FLAGS:
Instead of using Pt_ARG_MAX_HEIGHT, Pt_ARG_MAX_WIDTH, Pt_ARG_MIN_HEIGHT, and Pt_ARG_MIN_WIDTH to set the window's dimensions, you can use the Pt_ARG_MAXIMUM_DIM and Pt_ARG_MINIMUM_DIM resources that are defined by PtWidget.
