Mabey take the minimal tut and add a notepad text editor using the dialogs already shown. Even a brief expanation on handling text buffers and titles for changing pages (for noobs like me...) and explain the difference when handling graphics.

For a language to realy be a standard it will definatly need to be compileable, not interpreted, so it sounds somthing like c, c++, or Pascal. But after trying wxDev I think the next big thing will be an invisable lanuage. Programming strategies will be crucial, but let a program write the code.

Thanks to both of you , and I'm starting to see why it didn't work.

Ya, It compiled for me too. The error was in running. When you create the child window (press 'map') it crashes.
I don't understand dialogs fully. I'll just keep learning.

Sorry and thanks. Here is the full project, but don't be too worried about me. I'm still just learning to program ( I'll get it, but help and insight are still welcome;) ) http://www3.telus.net/public/pamric/Newtry.zip *edit* I deleted the dialogs, and it works. I'll have to code the functions manua...

Should point at the window class its in ok.
/*line 47 */void Child::CreateGUIControls(void)
It's not in the main frame but in a child window. The child.wxform put it there, I'm still a noob, but it looks right to me....

I've incorporated a few things I've learned, and it compiles. I have a toolbar button that makes a child window. That works. I added a toolbar to the child with a button and an'open file' dialog (similar to min tutorial)it compiles, but now when the program runs and I push button to make the child w...

Thanks, copying that in worked! Then I unchecked many properties and it still worked. Now nothing is = true in dialog properties, and I have just this... #define THIS_DIALOG_STYLE wxVSCROLL | wxHSCROLL | wxCLIP_CHILDREN in general properties and it still works. Wierd. I probably shouldn't use any di...

Thanks, but that didn't help.:( here is the define from the .h file... #define THIS_DIALOG_STYLE wxVSCROLL | wxHSCROLL | wxCAPTION | wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxTHICK_FRAME | wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT | wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxCLOSE_BOX Nothing too wierd, looks similar to others, yet wo...

It already = true.

I can't make my main window resizable. wx_RESIZE_BORDER =true wx_STATIC_BORDER =false I just have a toolbar and a splitter window with two notebooks. I can't get the running program to resize with mouse drag! What did I miss? (this time...) Edit: Changed the topic to be more descriptive. - vdell

That is a help. Thanks.
I'm looking forward to the tut too.

This has great potential, but I couldn't find any documentation expaining how to use it. Are there any instructions elsewhere?

Thanks! that does work!!!
Wierd that I have to include "childfrm.h" twice though. ( its also in childfrm.cpp, and needs to be there too.)
Oh well, now I can get back on track:)

Well.... here is a sample I'm trying ( fresh start, just to avoid interference from other code).

Its basicly the default with names like 'child'.
The button event function is in Project1Frm.cpp (naturaly).
