wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Well, if you get more problems, you can try this video guide for compiling the libraries: here.

I had the same problems, lol!

See these forum topics (I believe they are both resolved):

I tried the wxwidgets "official" guide, but it is really confusing.
This one is pretty good.

Hey guys,

Here is a guide some guy made to set up wxWidgets using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008:

I got it working finally! I did the things above (like changing project settings, etc.) and changed the last function to: void MyFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event)) { wxString temp(L"言語"); wxMessageBox(temp, _T("About Hello World"), wxOK | wxICON_INFORMATION, this...

Thanks for the answers. Do NOT forget turn on unicode flag in your project settings. For example, if you are using visual studio 2005, pls check "project properties -> Configuration Properties -> General -> Character Set" I made this change (from Multi-Byte to Unicode) in MS VC++ 2008. I b...

Why bother?Below code does not meet what you want? wxString s=_T("言語"); wxMessageBox(s); No, I tried that way, but I got 2 warnings and the program still did not work: warning C4566: character represented by universal-character-name '\u8A00' cannot be represented in the current code page ...

Thanks. Here are the answers: - UTF-8 - Unicode (I guess cause it is Visual C++ 2008) - ? - wxWidgets should accept Unicode right? I tried running your code. It compiled, but I got either question marks or random ASCII characters. One thing might be that I only built wxWidgets libraries for Debug, R...

Hi, I am new to wxWidgets and am using it in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. I can get this program from the Hello World Tutorial running just fine. I already built wxWidgets libraries for Debug, Release, and Unicode - Release. I modified the last function of the Hello World program to: void MyFrame::OnA...

Okay, I've changed the font, but I am still only getting: Press any key to continue . . . Well, I guess it is not so important to print Unicode in console. But, will Unicode work in normal GUI programs? EDIT: I'll just post a new topic with the Unicode in GUI applications: http://forums.wxwidgets.or...

Well, the guide I read said that I needed to change the font Lucida Console, but I don't know how to do this

Also, the article said to use "%S" because "it tells the wprint function to expect narrow string"

Thanks for all your responses.

Okay, now I am even more confused. After reading the article, I got this far: #include <wx/string.h> #include <wx/utils.h> #include <windows.h> int _tmain() { //Store the old console format in 'oldcp' UINT oldcp = GetConsoleOutputCP(); SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8); wchar_t s[] = L"aΣb"; int...

Thanks.
I will look at that link tomorrow.
Sorry, but I need to go now.

Will try to respond in less than 10 hours

EDIT: I updated the title in the first post.

Hi, I am new to wxWidgets and am using it in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. I can get this program from the Hello World Tutorial running just fine. How come this program outputs question marks when I try to compile in release mode: #include <wx/string.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { wxPuts(wxT(&quo...
