This did the trick. Thanks.

FilePickerCtrl1->SetSize(wxSize(500,25));

Already tried that. Unfortunately, it's the Browse button that gets resized, not the text input dialog box. The button also becomes inoperable. FilePickerCtrl1.JPG FilePickerCtrl1 = new wxFilePickerCtrl(Panel1, ID_FILEPICKERCTRL1, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxPoint(128,80), wxSize(...

I'm trying to do the same thing... make the text wider. In the attached picture, make the box next to the Browse button be much wider. FilePickerCtrl.JPG The auto-generated code is... FilePickerCtrl1 = new wxFilePickerCtrl(Panel1, ID_FILEPICKERCTRL1, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxPo...

>>> You could not replace "&ControlFrame::OnButton3Click" with "&this->OnButton3Click" and it would still work. Well, the compiler wouldn't accept "&this->OnButton3Click" anyway. I'm not clear that what you claim, that "this" is polymorphic (inheri...

>>> But in your example, you could not replace "ControlFrame::" with "this->". Not sure what you're thinking with the above statement. The difference between dispatcher() and dispatcher1() is simply that in the latter case, the explicit qualifiers "ControlFrame::" and &...

Sorry, but I don't know how to set up the code below in a code-display scroll section (<code>, <code/> ???), so am just including the code in-line. I've rearranged the code a little, so the dispatcher is part of the ControlFrame class. The code in dispatcher() compiles and runs fine. One would think...

I realized this after doing some additional Web-searching and compiling the program under g++, which gave a more "meaningful" error message. funcptr.cpp: In member function ‘void clx::f()’: funcptr.cpp:38:30: error: must use ‘.*’ or ‘->*’ to call pointer-to-member function in ‘((clx*)this)...

Hi, This is a generic C++ programming issue, not anything wxWidgets specific. I just don't know where to ask for C++ help. The following sample program fails to compile under VS2017, with the following errors (for the noted line)... E0109 expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (...

Yah, it would be nice if we had the luxury of learning basic toolkits from scratch. But, the reality is that we have very limited time to get software working, so have to count on "add-on" builders like Codeblocks/wxsmith to get an infrastructure going quickly, and to (reverse) learn the b...

Found the problem. In the Connect(), I should use wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER instead of the default wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED. This should correspond to your use of EVT_TEXT_ENTER(). Not sure how to tell wxsmith to do this, though, at this point, but at least I know what's needed. Thank you so much.

I tried out your MyFrame1 program and it works great as expected. However, since I'm using the Codeblocks+wxsmith infrastructure to build my project, I tried a standalone test of the wxTextCtrl widget and am still seeing the handler invoked on _any_ change to the text line. By eyeballing your (worki...

I'm trying to use a wxTextCtrl widget with EVT_TEXT_ENTER mode (wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style set under wxsmith in Codeblocks). Codeblocks, by default, sets up a handler, OnTextCtrl1Text(...) which gets invoked on _any_ change of text in the widget. I want the handler invoked when the ENTER key is presse...

Looks like

#define SH "/usr/bin/lxterm -geometry 100x30 -e /bin/sh -c \'"

works fine.

Thanks.

I think one option might be xterm (or Terminal). Any better or more fitting
method, more parallel to the Windows case?

Thanks.

Hi, From Windows (10), when I invoke wxExecute from a (Codeblocks) wxFrame app, specifying a shell program (in this case Cygwin Bash), the framework opens a shell window and executes the script within it. In (Debian/Raspian) Linux, however, the framework processes the shell program within the window...
