wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Thank you. Please see here: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18226#ticket

I have been debugging it and here is what I found. In src\ribbon\buttonbar.cpp, note that method AddButton calls InsertButton which does this: m_layouts_valid = false; Good good. But in panel.cpp method wxRibbonPanel::Realize note how m_smallest_unminimised_size gets set via a call to m_art: minimum...

We have been able to reproduce it locally, so I can debug it. Our application is an enormous application, which uses some wxWidget UI components. It is not DPI aware, I am barely DPI aware. But thanks, doublemax, I shall investigate. Since I shall have to fix this, I shall debug this and post here w...

Our application uses the wxWidgst ribbon bar, wxWidets 3.0.2.7. Some clients, and we have never seen this ourselves, experience a problem that button bar buttons of the type wxRIBBON_BUTTON_HYBRID get cut off, as shown by the attached screen. The top button should read "Re-solve" and then have a dro...

Suppose you are on Windows and you have an HICON and you need to generate HTML with the image embedded inside the HTML, that is, you need to convert it to something of the form: <img src="data:image/png;base64, iVBORw bla bla"/> How can you do it, especially if the icon could be anything, you need t...

Hi, Just curious: I realize this has come up before, but does anyone know definitively whether Microsoft patented the ribbon bar UI and whether that impacts the wxWidgets ribbon bar? There are some references that they were trying to patent it, but that you can use it unless you compete with Office,...

I have a little bit of experience with this, and here are a few thoughts, also expressed above: If you use ANSI strings (non UNICODE) and you make use of extended characters (ASCII codes above 127), then those extended ASCII characters will definitely NOT display correctly on all machines. Windows f...

You can still get Visual Studio 2003 from MSDN, if you have access to that. The regular downloads site only lists the 2008, 2010 and 2012 versions. Alternatively, you can also look into Dev C++ and CodeBlocks on sourceforge. I believe both support wxWidgets and if you Google it you can find multiple...

I just faced a very similar problem. I am using an instance wxHtmlWindow to show a super tool tip (like Excel), and I want no scroll bars and for it to be just large enough to display the contents. There is no predetermined way of doing that :? , but this is how I got the result I wanted :idea: . Wo...

The classes in they link you show currently still need to be used on the latest svn version of the code. This is something being worked on.

Please note that some of the fixes needed here have gone into the latest SVN versions of the wxWidgts code. You can look at the trac item in question for the latest update on this: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14492 Also, see this discussion item: http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=...

Rather than one set of controversial changes (if you read the Trac item mentioned), a number of other smaller changes have been made that now allow you to more easily make transparent controls under MS Windows as shown below. However, please note that this currently only works on the latest SVN vers...

I have just implemented auto hiding of the ribbon bar panels in an application. Please note that the code below is an initial experiment and not intended to be complete or exemplary at all and it contains some MS Windows specific pieces (which could be replaced with wxTimer for example). But it seem...

The more I used wxWidgets, the more I like it.

There is no Express 2003 free version of Visual Studio. You would have to buy it, and they will likely only sell you the current 2010 version. I personally prefer to 2010 version above the 2003 version.
