wxWindow can receive keyboard input, as wxTextCtrl does. See the keyboard sample. You can have a wxWindow (or one of its derivates) and handle its char-events. Joining chars you get the string. Also handle paste-event, you can get a string in just one event. But you have to draw the text on your own...

As @doublemax told, the "double buffer" feature is provided by the OS, not glut needed. wxWidgtes allows you to set it, please read every class doc from this grup: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/group__group__class__gl.html Some more info in this post: https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=...

Can you test it (as the patch uses gtk_widget_get_scale_factor() instead of gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor())?

In that ticket #17391 you can read that OpenGL knows nothing about the scale of the display. The best way to go is also told there: use const wxSize sizeInPixels = GetClientSize() * GetContentScaleFactor(); . No need to use GDK_SCALE , which will affect also the normal GUI. Then use that sizeInPixel...

Any GetXXXX function pass some value to your variable; the other direction is SetXXXX. To draw something that fits into a rectangle you first need to know the dimensions of that rectangle. The dimensions (width, height) of the "available" part of a window (the client area, without toolbars, menus, c...

Some comments, just to set it clear. The best way to do wxGLCanvas update is to have a wxPaintEvent handler (i.e. void OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& evt) ) in your wxGLCanvas class. This is what @doublemax is asking to be sure. This OnPaint() will be called automatically by the OS when it needs the window t...

Tell the sizer how to align the buttons using some flag of https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_sizer.html#wxsizer_flags pSizer_0_0->Add(new wxButton(this, wxID_OK, L"AAA"), 0, wxALIGN_RIGHT); pSizer_0_0->Add(new wxButton(this, wxID_CANCEL, L"BBB"),1, wxALIGN_RIGHT); Notice the "0" I added to th...

Case 1 The task blocks everything, GUI included, until it's completed. Then code normally. No threads, no message-handling etc. This approach may only be user-friendly if the task finishes in less than a second. Case 2 The task blocks nothing. There are several ways. For example you may call wxYiel...

What wxWidgets can do about OpenGL can be read in the FAQ of "General Development", https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=45552 there is an attribute to set up the stencil buffer size True. See the wx docs https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_g_l_attributes.html Enabling/disabling th...

Some types use the overloaded "<<" operator:
You can find these overloads at yourwxdir/include/wx/datstrm.h

Use mybutton->SetCanFocus(false) See https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classw ... 66f1b7f3d8

You do have a path to MSYS2: sytem variables path: ....;c:\devkitPro\msys2\usr\bin;... Delete it, restart the computer and try again. And best remove leftovers of previous tries (this is what "clean" at the end of 'ming32-make' is supposed to do). If you don't plan to build wx many times, and will b...

This is an old discussion. See https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16193 Some resume on it: There are three steps to go: a) Creating a gl-contex, which needs a "window" (in X11 this means a "drawable", not necessary a physical window). b) Setting the context as current. This is the point in discussion...

If the pyramid sample works for you I guess your issue is related to libraries linked. To find how pyramid gets compiled add >buildlog.txt >2&1 at the end of your command line ( x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++.exe -f makefile.gcc ...). Then, "buildlog.txt" will show the included dirs and linked libs. It seem...

Mick P : ...they are expressly NOT using wxGLContext. Therefor, it seems logical to also not use wxGLCanvas... Please, stop adding confusion. The OP has problems with ' creating a openGL context in wxWidgets ', and some people (like me) are trying to help. To use OpenGL you need: 1) Create a window...
