Hi, I have a wxComboBox which works as font selector list. Means every entry in this combo box is the name of a font. Now I want to make this more user-friendly and not only show the name of the font but also how it looks like. So I want to set the font itself for each entry which would end up with ...

Hi, my application saves some UI-data on program exit and therefore makes use of this path: wxString sPath=wxStandardPaths::Get().GetUserConfigDir()+wxFileName::GetPathSeparator()+_T(".myconfigdata"); This works fine with all operating systems but not with later versions of Windows 10. The...

"Generate manifest" is enabled for all configurations. And the VS settings look the same like for all other applications that work well...

Hi, I'm running my wxWidgets application under Windows 7. There all buttons are shown in this flat, rounded style of the standard Win 7 theme, at least when I run it from within Visual Studio. Now under some strange conditions (which I don't really understand) it happens that the Win7 theme is not u...

Hi, currently I add elements to a wxComboBox by calling Append(wxString). Now there is a scenario, where >2000 elements are added which is quite slow. So is there a possibility to do this is a faster way? E.g. by avoiding any updates in the wxComboBox until all calls to Append() have been done? Thanks

Hi, I know about wxLog but I'm not sure if it is really what I want to have (at least from what I understand in the documentation this is more for logging wxWidgets-internal events). What I want to do: log events out of my application into a file. All log entries are done by code within the applicat...

You are of course right! MY mistake: I expected SetSizer() to be a member of wxPanel but since it is a member of wxWindow everything is fine. Thanks for kicking me into the right direction

May be this answer is a bit late ... just in case somebody else has a similar problem:

wxScrolledWindow has a EVT_SCROLLWIN which itself can be assigned to a function void OnScroll(wxScrollWinEvent& event) that receives the scroll events.

Hello,

Is there a possibility to add a wxPanel (which itself contains a Layout and some control elements) to a wxToolBar? I only found some functions AddTool(), AddControl(),... which are not suitable for this.

Thanks!

What is "do_something()" - are you performing some GUI operations there?

Hi, when running my wxWidgets application under Windows 7 with no changes made to the system-UI, the checkboxes come with a white text background: https://picload.org/image/wdgwiii/wxbackground.png Other elements like static texts do not show this behaviour. So what do I have to do to let the checkb...

Yes, this did not let the message box appear on top of the progress dialogue...

Hi, I'm opening a wxProgressDialog to show a longer running operation is in progress. During this operation some errors may happen which are noticed with a message box. My problem: in Release build the message box appears below of the wxProgressDialog. So I added a call wxProgressDialog->Hide() befo...

Hi,

is there a possibility to get the height of a font outside of an OnPaint()-event? The only method I found to evaluate a fonts size is by using GetTextExtent() which requires an OnPaints()'s wxDC...

Thanks!

Hi, I have a dialogue which can have a large height (elements in this dialogue are created dynamically). In some cases the necessary height of wxDialog could become larger than the available height on a screen. So I added a wxScrolledWindow that itself holds the panel where the elements are arranged...
