You could try and check some system colors with wxSystemSettings::GetColour(...)
Maybe they return a unique color or color combination in that case.

But even if it works, it won't be as reliable as the native call.

Thanks for your research, but this a user forum, so your patch won't reach the right people. If you can't make a pull request, please open a ticket at http://trac.wxwidgets.org anyway or post this to the wx-users mailing list / Google group:

I don't know about OSX, but what you're saying sounds reasonable. Please open a bug report at http://trac.wxwidgets.org

using basic C++ File save via fstream/ofstream but after that backfired What exactly was wrong with that? I sought to use the famous wxtextfile, but every tutorial I find never seems to hit the point of a simple save example wxTextFile is good for accessing a textfile on a line-by-line basis, from ...

Can two different sizers contain the same window? No. While the approach to reparent controls and detach them from one sizer and insert into another may sound promising, i would highly advise against it. Blood, sweat, tears and crashes will follow. If you can't or don't want to use the approach i s...

We can't help debug complex applications for you. If you think this is caused by a bug in wxWidgets, please create a small compilable sample that demonstrates the issue.

There are a couple of C and C++ libraries that support writing to xls or at least xlsx files, free and commercial.

E.g. https://sourceforge.net/projects/xlsxio/

But i've never used one, so i can't recommend one.

The classes are still there, defined in /include/generic/tabg.h

I haven't tested them though.

wxTabbedPanel , wxPanelTabView , wxTabControl

Nice I had no idea they were still in wx3.x.

But i have a bad feeling they might look ugly

Well, it's not only the white border, also the background gradient and rounded corners are gone. This looks like a theme-problem to me, but i have no idea what to do about it. Can you try to use wxScrolledCanvas instead of wxScrolledWindow? It's a very wild guess, it really shouldn't make any differ...

You can't add the same page multiple times as a notebook page. With the show/hide approach, you wouldn't be able to use a wxNoteBook. You'd need another way of switching between the modes.

Can you show screenshots of the "good" and "bad" buttons?

You can detach controls from sizers and insert it into another one, but usually that gets messy in the end. If you keep using a notebook, you could try to keep the shared controls outside the notebook, on a different level of the GUI. Or, instead of using different notebook pages, keep everything in...

Should I try building wx again with different parameters? What parameters should I use?

No. If building from the command line works fine, it's only a matter of configuring the CodeBlocks project correctly.

Unfortunately i can't help with that as i don't use CB.
