Hey DoubleMax,

Thanks for your prompt answer.
Ok, understood it isn't possible to use SVG in that case.
No big deal.

Thanks !

Hello Users ! Icon SVG file format works fine when using SetIcons() method on a TopLevelWindow. TaskBar and App icons really look great. Now I'd also like to use SVG icon for my App in the File Explorer. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find a way to use SVG format to replace the following : aaa...

Hello PB,

Hello guys !

A simple (silly ?) question concerning sizers : is there a way to specify different border sizes along different directions ?
For example wxTOP = 5 and wxLEFT = 10 ?

Thanks,

John

Hey PB! Thanks for your prompt answer. >> changed the executable's compatibility settings via Explorer [/i] You're right !! The compatibility settings were different. It solves the problem when settings are the same. Still, I'm wondering how it is possible since I've *copied* folder MyApp to MyApp.R...

Hi everybody ! I have a strange behavior with my app: the screen DPI seems to depend on the directory where the exe is started ?? It runs fine (high DPI) when the EXE is started from de C::B project folder (MyApp). When I make a copy of MyApp folder to MyApp.Release and start the EXE from that copie...

Hi !

Does a wxWidgets based app can run with round corners controls and blurred transparent background on Windows 11 ?

If no, is there a plan so that it will become possible in the future ?

Problem found : folder name consistency between wxWidgets and wxSQLite3.

wxWidgets compilation generates folder : \wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib\mswu\wx

But in wxSQLite3 build/config.gcc sets wxArchSuffix = x64

Removing x64 seems to solve the problem.

Hi everybody, I've been using wxWidgets for more than 10 years , it's just awesome ! That morning, I decided to update my ' WX toolbox' (under Windows 10): Updated TDM-GCC 10.3.0 : Good. Compiled wxWidgets 3.1.6 : Worked 'out of the box' (including samples). Compiled wxSQLite 4.8.1 : Problem !! I go...

Hi All,

I've been using wxWidgets for the last five years: it's easy an efficient but the final look is now a bit outdated.
I'd like to know if there is a way to give wxWidgets applications the "Modern UI" (a.k.a Metro) look ?

Thanks for your answers
John

Great !!!

Your suggestion solved the issue.
It does build fine now

Thank you so much for your help.
Best regards
John

Dear Doublemax, Thanks so much for your really prompt answer. I'm sorry I should have checked changes.txt by myself at first. You're right, I need a static build of 3.1.0 . I've not been able to find shlwapi.lib and version.lib but only shlwapi.dll and version.dll in the System32 directory. Could yo...

Hi, I'm struggling to compile the last 3.1.0, I get the error : C:\CAO\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib/libwxmsw31u_core.a(corelib_utilsgui.o):utilsgui.cpp:(.text+0xe59): undefined reference to `_imp__SHAutoComplete@8' C:\CAO\wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib/libwxmsw31u_core.a(corelib_textentry.o):textentry.cpp:(.text+0x...

Dear All, I'd like use wxGraphicsContext under Windows7 but I'm struggling for days ... I'm using wxWidgets 3.0.2 with TDM-GCC under windows7. In the file wxWidgets\lib\gcc_lib\mswu\wx\setup.h I've changed line 788 to : # define wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT 1 In the file wxWidgets\build\msw\config.gcc I'v...
