Under Linux (Ubuntu 14.04), trying to set the background colour of a wxStaticText object has no effect; the background remains transparent. As a workaround, it is possible to set the background colour of a wxTextCtrl object and this does work on Ubuntu. It is very straightforward to create a wxTextC...

Your suggestion worked perfectly - many thanks

Many thanks for the suggestion plus link to the codelite page - I'll give it a try and report back

Thanks a lot for investigating and the explanation

Cheers, Colin

Thanks for the suggestions The sample compiles/runs but does not include the activity indicator page; in fact the whole of the activity indicator sample is wrapped inside #if wxUSE_ACTIVITYINDICATOR If I comment out the above, the sample fails to compile with the same error I reported earlier In the...

I've been trying to see what this looks like but I can't get it to compile Platform / compiler : Windows 10 / mingw 4.7 wxWidgets 3.1.0 downloaded from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.0/wxWidgets-3.1.0.7z Extracted 'as is' from the 7z archive and compiled (with no error...

The following works fine on windows (tested extensively on XP, 7 and 8 / 8.1), not so sure how it is on Linux / other platforms. I'd like to claim the credit for writing it, but I can't - I've tried to acknowledge all those who contributed part of the solution ... bool CWindowUtilities::ForceWindowT...

Many thanks, works perfectly

Windows 8.1 / WxWidgets 3.0.1 / Codelite 7.0 / wxFormBuilder 3.5.0 I've got a very simple app with a frame containing a menu; so the component hierarchy is wxFrame -> wxMenuBar -> wxMenu ("File") -> wxMenuItem ("Open") -> wxMenuItem ("Save") -> wxMenuItem ("Print&q...

The fix is to call SetIndentationGuides with parameter value 3.

Using wxWidgets 3.0 on Windows 7 I want to display indentation guidelines in a wxStyledTextCtrl component The code I've called is pretty simple m_StyledTextCtrl = new wxStyledTextCtrl (this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0, wxEmptyString); m_StyledTextCtrl->SetIndent (3); // number of ...

One thing I think you should add is a check on the result of calling p.Parse(true); According to the wxWidgets documentation, the Parse method will return an answer as follows Parse the command line, return 0 if ok, -1 if "-h" or "--help" option was encountered and the help messa...

Many thanks Eran, this works perfectly

Windows 8 / Codelite 5.3 / wxWidgets 2.9.5 I'm seeing some odd styling when using the wxStyledTextCtrl class, and I don't recall seeing this when using wxWidgets 2.9.4 (although haven't tested this) It seems easy to recreate ... 1. Create a codelite gui project, wxFrame using wxCrafter 2. Add a wxSt...

Windows 8 wxWidgets 2.9.5 Codelite 5.3 I've created a wxIconBundle object and added a couple of differently sized icons to it. I'd now like to save this bundle to a single windows icon file (*.ico), but I can't see any method in wxIconBundle to achieve this. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, ...
