wxAutoExcel 2.7.0.

Library

• Fixed enum values that did not match Office, checked against the Office and Excel type libraries and, where they differed, in Excel:
  • MsoParagraphAlignment: all values were one less, so msoAlignCenter aligned the text to the left.
  • XlThemeFont: xlThemeFontMajor and xlThemeFontMinor were swapped.
  • msoShapeRound2DiagRectangle had the value of msoShapeSnip2DiagRectangle.
  • MsoPictureEffectType: 15 values were wrong, e.g. msoEffectNone was 17 instead of 0.
  • msoContactCardAddressTypeIM and msoMetaPropertyTypeMax had wrong values.
• Added msoSoftEdgeTypeMixed (the old SoftEdgeTypeMixed is kept but deprecated) and the missing MsoMetaPropertyType values.
• Breaks build: wxAutoExcel objects now convert only to bool: operator bool() of wxExcelObject was replaced with a conversion template allowing only bool. Objects still convert to bool wherever they did (conditions, initializing a bool, returning from a function returning bool), but no longer to numbers, e.g. long n = obj;. Thanks to this, collections can be indexed with string literals, e.g. styles["Normal"], which did not compile because the call was ambiguous with the built-in subscript "Normal"[index].
• The library names now contain 2.7.

The enum values are changed in a minor version, as code relying on the wrong values may behave differently.

Tests and samples

• Tests checking the fixed values against what Excel does, as the existing tests only set a value and read it back, and a test of indexing with string literals.
• The Minimal and PureWin32 samples index styles with string literals instead of wxString("...").
• The Shapes sample centers its wrapped text lines, now that msoAlignCenter works.

Built with MSVC (Debug and Release), MinGW UCRT64 (DLL and static, Debug and Release), and clang64 (DLL, Debug, against wxWidgets built with clang) with no warnings; all 231 test cases pass in each configuration.
