wxWidgets Discussion Forum

I was told otherwise in the wxWidgets IRC channel on Freenode.

Well, I have given up on wxWidgets for the time being. And I never understood why something to develop wxWidgets is written in Delphi.

The problem is that the different versions would be in different folders. i.e. Trunk versus 0.9. Each folder would have its own includes and source files. Those might change from file to file. I also don't manually edit makefiles.

All I know is that wxDev-C++ 7.4.0.86 can use a variety of compilers. I don't know when you would use gcc/g++ as opposed to something else. Do wxWidgets projects require a specific compiler? Some notes there would help.

It would really help if wxDev-C++ could be told to use a different version of the project being built. Suppose I have trunk, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 versions of the project. Each will have its own source code. Some might use different build options. While I could have separate project files for each,...

That will confuse new users of the program into thinking the toolbar is being shrunk when they are attempting to move the toolbar to the right. This also has me thinking that my wxWidgets programs wo...

The control is labeled wxEdit in the component panel.

Except for function implementations, I keep getting reset to what I started with for that form. It appears to happen every time I restart the IDE. Between that and the severe lack of documentation for wxWidgets, I am debating looking elsewhere. Example on the documentation problem: What is the diffe...
