I've had some more time to test this issue and wx version 3.1 has fixed the issue, marking as solved

I have tried to upgrade wx to 3.1.0 and it seems to have solved the issue

AFAIK Linux uses UTF-8 on the command line. Trace into the wxExecute call and see what it does. https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/src/unix/utilsunx.cpp#L562 It converts the command line into char** and executes the command using "execvp": https://linux.die.net/man/3/execvp I cannot...

The formatters are not part of the problem. This example does not work on Linux (works fine on Windows, though): wxString cmd = "/usr/bin/program"; cmd += " \"/home/me/Skæg.ext\""; wxExecute(cmd, wxEXEC_ASYNC | wxEXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER, m_Process); P.S: Executing the command in a terminal (on Linux)...

What must I do to be able to execute a program with a path containing unicode characters as argument? The following will fail: wxString cmd = wxString::Format("\"%s\" \"%s\"", "/usr/bin/program", "/home/me/Skæg.ext"); wxExecute(cmd, wxEXEC_ASYNC | wxEXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER, m_Process); But if I renam...

wxFontInfo is just a helper class which can be used to more convenient (or read friendly) font creation, like this: wxFont f = new wxFont(wxFontInfo(18).Bold().Underlined().FaceName("Helvetica")); You cannot access the private fields because they are only temporary storage for parameters. The functi...

You should not update UI-elements from threads (please repeat this inside your head 1000 times!). You should post messages from the threads to the main message loop in order to update the grid. In order to prevent multiple thread accessing the same code / memory at once you should use a wxCriticalSe...

Try this: int64_t wxDateTimeToMillis(wxDateTime dt) { int64_t res = dt.GetHour() * 60; res = (res + dt.GetMinute()) * 60; return ((res + dt.GetSecond()) * 1000) + dt.GetMillisecond(); } int64_t DifferenceInMillis(wxDateTime t1, wxDateTime t2) { return wxDateTimeToMillis(t1) - wxDateTimeToMillis(t2);...

Hi, DenDev, It is possible that KDE uses a GTK theme that is broken on Linux Mint. I vaguely remember that there was a "not so recent" post to wx-dev/wx-user about theme issue on Linux Mint specifically. Can you try to change a theme of the KDE and try again? Thank you. Bulls eye! The "oxygen-gtk" ...

A static box is not generic, it is a different control on Windows and OSX and Linux. The wxStaticBoxSizer is a sizer utilizing a static box control. The issue might be related to bad font size calculation - but since my build of wx is GTK 2 I do not think it is related to GTK 3 . I think the issue i...

It has nothing to do with Windows, so of course the issue is not present there. I'm using a default GTK2 build on Linux Mint 17.3 KDE. I've tried to test the sample application on another computer running Debian Jessie with the same KDE desktop installed. The problem was not present there but the ap...

Can't make it any lesser than the attached Code::Blocks project.

It is created using Code::Blocks / wxSmith, copied from TestDialog.cpp: wxStaticBoxSizer* StaticBoxSizer2; wxFlexGridSizer* FlexGridSizer1; wxBoxSizer* BoxSizer1; wxStaticBoxSizer* StaticBoxSizer1; Create(parent, id, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE, _T("id"));...

Trying to add image 2..

I've run into an odd issue related to the usage of wxStaticBoxSizer's in a GTK build running on Linux Mint 17.3 KDE 64 bit. The first attached image shows a dialog using the sizer as it looks when opened. As you can see the header of the static box is a bit squashed. The dialog can be resized and if...
