Hi,

I am trying to use wxWidgets under Windows 7, Eclipse CDT and Cygwin GCC. Can anyone offer some advice on how to install and compile wxWidgets under that environment?

Thanks.

Hi, My application first reads a initialization file and then decides how many control objects, e.g., wxTextCtrl, wxToggleButton, need to be added to a wxFrame. When there are too many objects on the wxFrame, some objects are out of visible boundary, i.e., they are on the wxFrame, but user can not s...

Hi,

I am wondering how to change the font size of wxTextCtrl objects. Can someone offer an example for that. I just migrated from Windows to Linux, I found the wxTextCtrl font size is a lot bigger in Linux than that in Windows. I just default value in Windows.

Thanks.

Jessy,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using wxWidgets with Eclipse in Linux, where I can print out logs to the terminal.

It's nice to have something similar in Windows.

Hi, I am pretty new to wxWidgets, is there a tutorial on how to install wxWidgets on Fedora, and configuration in Eclipse?

Thanks.

If you installed the fedora package, it'll be in /usr/. If you built from a tarball and didn't use the --prefix=<somewhere> configure option, it'll be in /usr/local; if you did, it'll be in <somewhere>. Thanks, David, I managed to create and run a simple wxWidgets program on Linux (Fedora + Eclipse...

Regards, David Thank you David, the installation is just as easy as you s...

Hi,

Thanks.

Hi, if I create a new object with a thread encapsulate inside, when and how shall I terminate the thread? For example, class ABC has a thread encapsulate inside, once an object of ABC is created, a thread will be created as well. class ABC { public: ABC() { ... start m_thread here ... } ~ABC() { ......
