There are some drag and drop gui builders for wx, which generate C++ code. However, all that I know generate 2.8 code and don't have support for new 2.9 features. Is there any form builder which supports wx 2.9?

Thanks

Thank you. However, I have a problem with this function. On windows it indeed returns HWND, but on linux instead of x11 window handle (which is actually unsigned integer), it returns some kind of gtk widget. How can I get a X11 window handle from that widget?

Thanks in advance

I know there were some ways for it in 2.8, but in 2.9 something with handles have changed and old code doesn't work. What I need to do is to get windows (winapi) and linux (x11) window handle. If there isn't single function for it, I can use #IFDEFs. Remember, I need it for wx 2.9. Hope you can help...

Well, I know that there is problem with false positives from valgrind, but I checked it myself in taskmanager and it leaks. The code: #include <wx/wx.h> class MyApp: public wxApp { public: virtual bool OnInit(); }; bool MyApp::OnInit() { wxFileDialog * dialog = new wxFileDialog(NULL, _("Title&q...

I will answer my own question. The solution is very simple, instead of messing with macro just do it like that: void threadWithWxDialog(int argc, char **argv) { wxApp* app = new MyApp(); wxApp::SetInstance(app); wxEntry(argc, argv); } And inside your int main(int argc, char **argv) function, bind it...

So, the simple wx code that opens a file open dialog and closes when the user closes it/selects a file is: http://pastebin.com/xu8Zinn3 It works great, but I need to call the dialog from non-wx managed window. Here is the code that compiles and runs, but the OnInit function isn't called. The questio...

Brilliant, thanks.

Hey, I use wx 2.9. Docs claims that I can use wxDialog as top level object, however when I close the dialog the process is still running.... The code: #include <wx/wx.h> class MyApp: public wxApp { public: virtual bool OnInit(); }; class MyDialog: public wxFileDialog { public: MyDialog(); }; wxIMPLE...

Thanks, it works now.

Hi, I'm using wx 2.9.4 on linux. The "dialog" sample that I compiled works flawlessy, however when I took wxfiledialog code from docs it doesn't appear. It is meant to open file dialog when I press about, but nothing is shown. Code: #include <wx/wxprec.h> #ifndef WX_PRECOMP #include <wx/wx...
