Which platform? Do you also see this in the "grid" sample?

Try creating a wxDialog and try to change its background color. If that doesn't work, put a wxPanel on the dialog and set its background color. If any of these two work, you can at least build a new text entry dialog from scratch.

dlg.SetBackgroundColour( * wxBLUE); That's the right one and works for me under Windows. What plaform are you on? If it's OSX, there's a good chance that you can't change the color. Apple is very strict about what's proper GUI design and what's not. And yes, changing the background of any window is...

Did you try wxWindow::SetBackgroundColour?

Maybe you should start with the standard: Building wxWidgets and then the "minimal" sample that comes with wxWidgets, with MinGW. This is all well documented in <wxdir>/docs/msw/install.md and e.g. https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=47231 (Although this uses CodeBlocks, the first part...

IMHO the Android port for wxWidgets is pretty much useless except for very simple demos. Your best chance to use wxWidgets on Android would be via wxQT. But even this is probably non-trivial:

In the linker command line move your library libwxmodel in front of the wx libraries. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45135/why-does-the-order-in-which-libraries-are-linked-sometimes-cause-errors-in-gcc Dependencies of static libraries against each other work the same - the library that needs sy...

This method is in my art class: MyBaseTabArt How is that supposed to work? AUIs internal drawing routines only know about and use the methods from wxAuiTabArt. By subclassing wxAuiTabArt and overwriting one or more of its virtual methods, you can change what is drawn. Adding a new, unknown method w...

Which wxWidgets version are you using? For OS X 11 you need at least 3.1.4 or the latest version from GIT.

There is no method called GetFontColour() in wxAuiTabArt.

From the "aui" sample: void MyFrame::OnNotebookPageClose(wxAuiNotebookEvent& evt) { wxAuiNotebook* ctrl = (wxAuiNotebook*)evt.GetEventObject(); if (ctrl->GetPage(evt.GetSelection())->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxHtmlWindow))) { int res = wxMessageBox(wxT("Are you sure you want to close/hide this notebook pa...

Sorry, i overlooked that you're using Linux. Linux doesn't use .exe extension, binaries are just marked as executable with a flag. So you want to create a Windows .exe under Linux? This is called cross-compiling, and AFAIK not trivial to set up. At least i don't know how to do it. Please use Google ...

void DeutschprojektFrame::OnButton1Click1(wxCommandEvent& event) { wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...); std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf(); std::cout.rdbuf(control); cout << "test" << endl << "test2"; std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld); } That code doesn't make any sense, you probably don't want t...

So you can compile and run your application from inside the IDE? Then the exe must be somewhere
It won't bin in any /bin directory, it should be in a folder inside the project directory, the name depends on the compiler and configuration, but it should be something like /gcc_mswud32 or similar.

I haven't tested it, but try these two changes:

a) Pass wxPU_CONTAINS_CONTROLS to the wxPopupTransientWindow constructor, like in the sample code you linked to
b) The IDs for the controls should start at wxID_HIGHEST+1, otherwise they can collide with IDs used by wxWidgets internally.
