In addition: AFAIK this won't work for network printers. If you want to use this, you will need to do it in a third way. You can also invoke the printer by native C-API system commands. system("print "+ printername+"\r"); // <-- won't work out of the box system("lpr -l"...

Oh... I looked at my sources and saw that I'm using native Windows API on Windows and generic way elsewhere. Anyway, I give you some relevant lines / pieces. Maybe you can adapt them to your code. But I need to say that I'm no specialist in such things. // header #if defined(__WXMSW__) || defined(__...

Could you post a little sample we could try out and see why it is not working (i.e. catching mouse events)?

You will need to catch some mouse events and "eat" them. I think catching "left down" and "left double click" would be a good start. Also remain that a checkbox is toggable via "space" key if it has focus. So this needs to be changed, too. Another way would be...

You can use streaming files for printing. This works for Windows as well as for Linux. There are lowlevel access functions to do so. They are undocumented. You will need to go through the sources (wx/filefn.h).

You can use wxOpen, wxRead, wxWrite, wxClose for your purpose.

Good job, man! If you would have some simple application(s) to share then I (and I'm shure others, too) would be very interested in your expertise. Nice to hear that it really works!

Have you tried virtual void wxPanel::SetFocusIgnoringChildren()?

For "dirty" hackers there is also

int wxApp::FilterEvent(wxEvent& event)

You can also try to externalize the EVT_TEXT to a wxEvtHandler derived class and call

void wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled(bool enabled)

Cheers!

O.k., don't know, if this is possible, but you could do the following: - make the last 3 cols readonly. - catch the wxEVT_GRID_SELECT_CELL event - check in the handler, if the col position is the first one - if not, set the cursor via wxGrid::SetGridCursor It shouldn't produce an endless loop. Maybe...

Maybe this is possible with the new wxComboCtrl. Have a look at the samples.

Sorry, but this is a known bug in wxGrid. I can't tell you a solution, maybe search the forum for a similar problem.

Have a look at the grid sample. They are working with the default solution for this problem... sizers. These are the interesting lines of the toplevel window's ctor: wxBoxSizer *topSizer = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL ); topSizer->Add( grid, 1, wxEXPAND ); SetAutoLayout(true); SetSizer( topSizer ); to...

Please tell us more details. Do you want to prevent the "selection" of cells or the movement of the gridcursor?

I don't think that this is possible in a platform independent way. The API doesn't have methods for this. But AFAIK it can be done by using HTML. I can't tell you if the wxHTML classes have such a functionality but it could be point to start. Else, you will need to implement some platform specific s...

Have you tried (re-)setting the attr pointer?
could help. Also some Refresh / ForceRefresh methods can be called.
