Great Grid Upgrades
Posted on
There have been a couple of changes to wxGrid in wx master that are
important enough to deserve their own blog post.
First of all, Dietmar Schwertberger has implemented basic accessibility support for it (see #24368), which makes it usable when using a screen reader.
Dietmar has also enhanced wxGrid in other ways, by implementing
drag-resizing its row and column label windows (#24362) and making
several improvements to row/column reordering (see #24303,
#24363, #24619).
And, second, Ali Kettab has modified selection drawing to use much nicer “overlay” effect instead of simply changing the background colour (see #24561), here is how it now looks under Linux:
and macOS, in dark mode:
Of course, as with any changes, there is always a possibility that the new features could have changed the existing behaviour, even if we are not aware of any incompatible changes right now, so if you use grids in your application, please check how they work with the latest wx master and let us know about any regressions!
