wxWidgets Discussion Forum

wxDataViewCtrl appears to be what I am looking for, but it looks like it is still a while away.

wxWidgets certainly has something like this, virtual list controls. Just create a wxListCtrl with the wxLC_VIRTUAL flag and then you can hook it up with a huge amount of data virtually. Changed made to your data behind the scenes is reflected in the control. It looks like wxListCtrl is the exceptio...

is this what you are looking for? Not quite. Validators are specifically for transfering data between variables and dialogs. What I am looking for is transferring data between data sources and widgets in general. I think what I am looking for is called "data binding" in the Microsoft univ...

Does wxWidgets have a way to map data directly to widgets? Qt has the QDataWidgetMapper class for this. See the link below for details:

Any more progress with this issue?

I decided to use wxProgressDialog instead.

The reason is most obvious. In the first sample all pending events are processed AFTER the handler is finished and disableAll is deleted. tan, I'll give that a try. I need to yield anyway to let the GUI redraw itself. Is there a way to just flush all pending events before deleting wxWindowDisabler?...

wxWindowDisabler successfully disables all the widgets in my app, but as soon as it is deleted, if there are any pending events (like mouse clicks), they get executed. I hear this is not supposed to happen, but it does. I checked with the samples, and same thing happens there. Try running samples/di...

I don't know if this is the right place for suggestions, but the following would be nice to have: 1) A way to fold each pane. Unlike the way the pin button is supposed to work (fold to the display area, hide the caption and tuck it "to the left" onto a toolbar type column), this would tuck...

The pinbutton is supposed to "fold away" the pane, not float it, no?

I am under the impression that I need to pick one or the other. I develop for MS-Win primarily so I use wxMSW stuff, but I am wondering how hard it would be to pull in wxUniversal stuff if I wanted to use non-native controls? Can the two be used simultaneously? I am kinda guessing "no, not out ...

It appears that if I hook into EVT_KILL_FOCUS (first derive a new class from wxListCtrl) and handle it without calling event.Skip(), then the selected item does not change its background color to gray...

T-Rex,

What is the current status of this issue? There is nothing more in the other thread either. Did you ever make it back to this issue?

Is there any other way to change these colors other than using SetSysColors() which changes the colors for the entire GUI (not just a specific widget)?

I believe I can do what I want to do with either wxPopupTransientWindow or wxMenu.
