GetMenuBar it is then. Thanks.
And thanks too for the detail on this 'oddity', mystery dispelled.

as stated in the OP, XRCCTRL for a toolbar works, while for a menubar it does not.
the sample is irrelevant - it doesn't contain XRCCTRL for a menubar, nor indeed for a toolbar.

I typed it out rather than cut/pasted, and erred.

the sample is of course doing what it does correctly.
but it is not an example of using XRCCTRL to get a menubar nor a toolbar.

there's nothing xrc specific between the docs for menubar and toolbar, nor XRCCTRL usage of menubar in samples/xrc,
but there are distinct handlers for each in xrc/xh_menu.h/xh_toolb.h

the wxCode page has a component list page that is empty and a search page which never returns
any results, yet there is a forum here on it with recent postings.
I'm using an up-to-date firefox browser.
is it dead?

I have a wxUIEditor generated xrc file with: <object class="wxToolBar" name="m_toolBar"> ... <object class="wxMenuBar" name="m_menubar"> while XRCCTRL(wxToolBar,"m_toolBar") returns a class pointer, XRCCTRL(wxMenuBar,"m_menubar") returns nu...

thanks!

the stock wxwidgets with cb 20.03 has no dialog for wxwidgets path, whereas your guide shows such a dialog.
so presumably it appears when using your revised wizard under MSW?
and if that is so, is there any reason you know of for it not to appear under any other platform?

1. if the directory box is left blank, which intuitively is "put it into the current directory", the project is 'apparently' created but an immediate build/run yields "Can't create output directory bin/Release/". looking for the project file revealed no project files were created...

I shall report the first issue if I ever get an activation email from the codeblocks forum, as directory creation is something it seemingly tries to do and fails at. not putting a directory also leads to error. clearly a bug. the second issue arises from PB's guide displaying a wxwidgets location di...

from the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success! so with the following I get a succesful build/run: 1. use directory chooser after manually creating the desired directory under which projects will live 2. run codeblocks with <WXDIR>/<build dir> in the path (to pickup wx-config which is run at p...

the samples run and there are no permissions problems. I decided to clean house and rm -r ~/.config/codeblocks, the equiv of %appdata% on windows I think. on restarting cb no compiler was detected which is odd since gcc is system installed and in the path. I went on and the start cb layout included ...

codeblocks 20.03, wxwidgets repo 3.2.4 sadly I went straight for a forum search and didn't see the pinned thread (and it didn't show up in the search results). I've been through the PB guide now. the downloadable binary distro from codeblocks.org is at same version as debian package - 20.03, so I we...

hello in trying to get wxsmith functioning I am failing to: 1. get it to look at the output of wx-config (which is in a locally compiled wxwidgets, uninstalled) which is in the PATH 2. understand which/what global variable and fields thereof (base? include? ) to configure 3. understand why the 'incl...

I would delete this thread if I could as it probably helps no one but myself. but since that doesn't appear possible I will close it : the issue turned out to be the language bindings provision of a generic event handler which cast all events to wxEVent. this was not correct, a flaw!, as, for instan...
