History: WxOgreRenderWindow for Eihort

Source of version: 5 (current)

!!Briefing
Here is a heavily modified version of wxOgre, that decouples the most possible wxWidgets from Ogre. The idea behind this class is to provide a widget that only manages a single render window/target. The pros of this approach are mainly two:
# There can be any number of wxOgreRenderWindows existing at the same time (no singleton class)
# Gives the user total freedom on how to manage Ogre (scene type, viewports, etc.)

It provides the common behavior for events such as timer ticks, painting or resizing. As for the input handling, it can register mouse event handler callback functions to change its behavior in run time, as well as avoiding the need to refine the class in order to do custom processing of the events.

It has the same requirements as wxOgre, and has been tested under Eihort, wxWidgets 2.8 and Ubuntu 7.04. Windows is untested yet, but the Windows-related source code has been copied straight from the original wxOgre.

/** wxWidgets Ogre render window widget.
    Strongly based on the existing wxOgre widget implementation, this one
    isolates the wx component from Ogre, acting as a simple bind to render
    inside a wxWidgets window.

!!Closing words
Thanks to the authors of the original wxOgre for giving me the base to work here. My lack of knowledge on wxWidgets, GTK etc. is a shame!

I fixed a bug to do with using the AUIManager, Cocoa and the RenderWindow. Hopefully someone finds this helpful. Big thanks to Kencho and original authors.
