wxWidgets Discussion Forum

I cannot get an EXE of my CodeLite workspace to build using the following versions of software, which AFAIK are the latest-and-greatest of all three. CodeLite 17.3.0 MinGW unknown, but whatever downloads from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/ wxWidgets 3.2.2.1 In my CodeLite workspace, I have ...

ONEEYEMAN and PB, I realized that I confused the words STATIC and SHARED in my original build. I've rerun the build: instead, I used library-shared-parallel.bat as-is, without edits. It appears in PB's book "PB’s Guide to Starting with wxWidgets on Microsoft Windows with MinGW and Code::Blocks ...

Hi, PB, Thank you so very much for your book! I've completed up to the end of Chapter 3 and rebuilt my workspace using your directions. Most everything worked as described, it fixed most of my problems, but I do still have one show-stopping problem left: I don't get the release version files when I ...

PB, But if you are using CodeLite (I am not really familiar with it), maybe it ships with a compiler and/or recommends one? I posted a question on the CodeLite forum https://forums.codelite.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5205 and received an answer from Eranif. I don't exactly know what Eran Ifrah's r...

Dear ONEEYEMAN, I come to this forum because people like yourself know far more than I do about how wxWidgets and MinGW and all the other software platforms work. FWIW, I did see that those are two commmands separated by a forward slash. I assumed that it was some arcane shortcut that the experts kn...

Dear PB, Secondly, the error may come from your mingw distribution being too. Which one are you using? Too what? Old? That could be. I've tried the following versions: 1. The one that is downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/. I don't know where to find the version number with this ...

Hi, ONEEYEMAN, Thank you for answering the question I hadn't formulated yet. :-) I put the two commands you gave me into a Windows batch file, edited the first line to reflect the different wxWidgets directory name in my installation (C:\wxWidgets-3.2.2.1). I also added directories to the system pat...

Building and installing wxWidgets on Windows is trivial (as it does not have external dependencies), all you need is to decide which configuration use (e.g., shared vs static). Cool!!! Got a web page that defines the differences between shared and static? And how to build wxWidgets accordingly? And...

Hi, PB. Thanks for your reply to my question. Now I know what WXWIN should be set to. As for WXCFG, I don't use wx-config, so I'll start out by leaving it out of the environment variable list. In answer to your question, "What do you need those system environment variables for?": *I* don't...

Hi. I'm trying to build my projects that use wxWidgets, but I keep getting "file or directory not found" errors. I think I have these environment variables set to the wrong values. WXCFG WXWIN What is WXCFG supposed to point at? A directory? What files are supposed to be found in that dire...

Thank you!

I need to be able to translate a string in a wxTextCtrl field into a number that's up to (2**33)-1, or: // (2**33)-1 = 8589934591 (or, shown with commas: 8,589,934,591) wxAtoI only translates numbers up to 2,147,483,647, or (2**31)-1. Can anyone give me the name of a string translator that can retur...

Hi. I'm using wxCrafter to generate my GUI code, so I'm posting this message here. I have four wxTextCtrl fields that all must allow ULONG (unsigned long) integers as inputs. I'm having the same problem with all four. I looked for ways to limit my wxTextCtrl field i/o to just integers, and I learned...

Hallelujah! Thank you, doublemax!!! What a refreshingly easy fix! Works perfectly now.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi. I have a wxFrame window I would like to close using the "X" in the upper right corner. However, I don't want to delete the window. I just want to turn it off, as in the code snippet below. void Processing_Monitor_Class::pm_Update_Show (bool Off_or_On) { Local_PM_ptr->Show (Off_or_On); ...
