However now VirtualBox have an option to install OSX inside VM, so I guess it is OK. This is because the macOS license does allow you to run macOS in a guest VM on macOS host machines (running on Apple hardware). I believe it's even licensed to run in a guest VM on a Windows 10 host, but only if th...

I've restarted the service, it's back up now.

I've whitelisted your account from our spam filters.

You might notice some changes to the look and feel of the forums today. We've upgraded from phpBB 3.1 to 3.2. There's lots of nifty new features , but let me just quickly point out some of the most relevant ones for you: Emoji 💯 A brand-new BBCode parser allows you to make use of the entire Emoji ke...

Nice work, you should consider opening a pull request to the wxWidgets website to add this to the screenshots page, similar to this one: https://github.com/wxWidgets/website/pull/2

We have a couple extensions installed that don't provide/support American English, mostly due to the fact that phpBB itself uses British English as it's source locale. Being that wxWidgets does the same, we've never really thought it might be a problem for anyone. Installing additional locales requi...

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but wxWidgets has some AppVeyor CI builds setup that are constantly monitoring merged commits and pull requests for MinGW (32bit), MSYS2 (64bit), and Cygwin. Builds are found here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/wxWidgets/wxwidgets Environment details here: htt...

If you don't have both panels in a sizer, you should only have *one* panel as a child of any top level window, regardless of whether one is hidden or not. wxWidgets does some magic sizing for a single child window that isn't in a sizer, and you're likely confusing it. I would second the recommendati...

Atom CPU and virtualization? Ouch. Don't even bother with a virtual machine, your only option is to just dual boot. Using something like VirtualBox on an Atom CPU could easily take half a day just to compile wxWidgets. Even using VirtualBox / VMWare / or some other kind of virtual machine other than...

If you only have one computer, consider setting it up to dual-boot both Windows and Linux, and just use your VCS (i.e. git) to sync up your code. You'll want the extra CPU power necessary for compiling the code that you lose while compiling code inside of a virtual machine.

As far as I understand it, if you're building and linking wxWidgets as a dynamic DLL library, it's likely not going to make a difference. It might if you're linking statically to wxWidgets, but really, don't bother unless you're you really are able to find a significant boost in performance. It is k...

Maintenance has been completed, thanks for your patience.

The server hosting our online documentation, wiki, and forums will be undergoing some critical security updates within a two hour window starting at: 2015-10-20 2:00:00 AM UTC Expected downtime should be no more than 20 to 30 minutes or so. This is in response to some Xen Security Advisories which w...

I don't think that's possible with wxRichTextPrinting. It's really designed to make printing ridiculously easy since it's extremely complicated to handle printing yourself using wxPrintout, but in this case, if you really want to power to make customizations like rendering images in headers or foote...

The best idea I could maybe come up with is to use FindFocus(), and check if the containing top level window is a wxDialog, and checking that for wxDialog::IsModal(). That sounds like a fairly unreliable solution though (just because it's modal doesn't mean it necessarily has focus), and it would be...
