Re: VS2017 project does not show window when run from IDE

I asked because the working directory is different in both cases. If you're using relative paths to load these files, it's possible they are not found. Display a message box if a file is not found, then you see what's going on. You were right. Apparently the working directory is the place where the...

In addition to doublemax' reply, check that you do have a Manifest.

Thank you.

I'm not familiar with that. Where would the manifest file be generated?

Re: VS2017 project does not show window when run from IDE

Is there any condition inside your program that could cause this? E.g. you're trying to load an external file and if it's not there, you just exit? It could happen if it did not find the wavefront obj file, or the shader files, but those are included in the project. Don't know why it would fail wit...

Re: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wxbase31u.lib'

I believe that in the monolithic build, there is no base/core library, wxmsw31u[d].lib contains the wx libraries except the third party ones (and perhaps OpenGL one). The shared libraries should be in vc_dll and not vc_lib. Additionally, you are including the MSVC-specific setup.h, so the wx librar...

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wxbase31u.lib'

VS2017 is giving me error LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wxbase31u.lib' when I try to build. I know the project works in code blocks when complied with tdm-gcc64. I build the library using VS2017 developer command prompt command in build/msw: nmake /f makefile.vc BUILD=release S...

Re: glcanvas on a wxpanel?

The problem is that the wxGLCanvas is not in a sizer, so there is nobody that tells it to fill the available space. OTHT, putting the wxPanel in a sizer is not necessary as it will automatically fill the whole client area of the frame if it is the only child. So in more or less pseudo-code it shoul...

Re: glcanvas on a wxpanel?

I have a frame class that only has a wxpanel and a sizer, the canvas class takes a wxpanel as parent. https://image.ibb.co/cANq8R/Capture.jpg This is what is looks like. If I change the canvas to take a wxFrame instead it works. What am I doing wrong? I attached some files. Thanks for any help, chee...

Thank you.

There are no samples that feature a glcanvas being used with a wxpanel.

Re: glcanvas on a wxpanel?

I could not get it to work on a panel, but I tried it with just a box sizer and it worked with added buttons. So I guess the panel wasn't really necessary?

glcanvas on a wxpanel?

Is it possible to add a glcanvas to a wxpanel? I have a working canvas program where the canvas is attached to a wxframe: https://preview.ibb.co/bW52mR/glcanvas_torus.jpg When I try to add a sizer with a wxpanel to the frame I end up getting a small cube in the corner. https://preview.ibb.co/eSUsLm/...

"does not name a type" error with glCanvas

I am trying to write a glCanvas class but I keep getting "does not name a type" errors. If I exclude the M_canvas files the frame class runs and works, but when I add the M_canvas files it gives me the errors: \M_canvas.h|15|error: expected ')' before '*' token| \M_canvas.h|19|error: 'M_fr...
