Hello all, Just looking to implement a Virtual File System in my application. The requirements for it is being able to load multiple archive formats (ZIP, SGA, MPQ, FPK, etc) where I can then load files locally by feeding it something like "Asset/Foliage/Tree.exp" where it searches through...

The first one creates a pointer to an objects memory location (and allocates the memory with "new") The second one just creates an object and puts into memory within the scope that it was created. At the end of that scope (ie. function / class / global / etc) it destroys the object and cle...

You need to compile wxWidgets 2.8 in DLL Release mode. Just browse to your wxWidgets directory, open up the project again, then select "DLL Release" - or "DLL Unicode Release", which ever you're coding for. Then compile it and if all goes well you should now have the DLL's you're...

The "brute force" method of doing it is something like: int screenSize; // Get the size of the canvas/viewport glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, screenSize); glReadBuffer(GL_BACK); // Do your rendering here //RenderToBuffer(); // (width*height*bytesPerPixel) - 32bit, 4 bytes unsigned char* pixels...

That works as long as a drag stays within screen coordinates (and is what I've been using for past 2 years), hoping to improve on it though. I know its easily doable in pure Win32, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of using wxWidgets. I did however try using the same Win32 functions combined wit...

Using WinXP with VisualStudio 7.1 and wx2.8.3 (also tried on 2.8.0). Basically what I have is a window with an image on it, I'd like to be able to 'drag' that image while locking the mouse in position. Now I can achieve good enough effect for this using wxWindow::WarpPointer() however when I call th...

If you have multiple wxGLCanvas windows, be sure to call SetCurrent() before any of your drawing/paint routines. If you know what you're doing with OpenGL, I'd suggest ditching wxGLCanvas though and just going with a standard wxWindow and using its hWnd to setup OGL the old fashion way. Spent a year...

Having a similar problem myself. Dialog windows like wxColourDialog, confirmation boxes, wxMessageBox(), etc are all hidden. By that I mean when I call them they are loaded up and have focus, but they are hidden behind the main window. Only way to bring them forward is by tapping alt. If you don't d...

OK Thanks mate for confirming that.

Figured that was going to be the case but before I started re-writing a couple of my classes I wanted to be absolutely sure.

Hello all, just after a quick answer. Been scouring the net looking for an answer but so far nothing apart from a few hints about wxControlWithItems - looking at the docs for it though didn't help (granted I didn't load up the wx source to get a better understanding). Basically I want to know is it ...

Thanks very much for that fix for wxGTK. Just spent the last week learning linux and porting my app from Win32 to Linux + wxGTK. Had it compiling and linking with no problems however had me stumped as to why its giving me Segsv (or whatever the Linux equivilant of "access violations" are) ...

G'day SnakeChomp. Nice work on wxIFM, recently just made the switch to it from wxDockIt and I must say, its a lot more elegant coding wise. Haven't had any problems except for not being able to 'hide single tabs' which wrote a patch for and is being added to 1.0.5. Also the other problem is I have a...
