Are you sure you need all that extra stuff? I just tried compiling the latest git version with nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=release TARGET_CPU=X64 and it worked just fine. I don't know what most of the extra you have does, but I know at least adding MP isn't going to do any good. nmake always...

If you're on windows, there is a limit to the number of windows your allowed to create: There is a theoretical limit of 65,536 user handles per session. However, the maximum number of user handles that can be opened per session is usually lower, since it is affected by available memory. There is als...

Here's a small example to dump the contents of a file to a wxStyledTextCtrl in hex form. Maybe you can adapt it for what you want to do. // For compilers that support precompilation, includes "wx/wx.h". #include "wx/wxprec.h" #ifdef __BORLANDC__ #pragma hdrstop #endif // for all others, include the ...

You can only use keywords lists that the lexer will actually assign. For the c++ lexer this is currently keyword list number corresponding style ------------- --- --------------- Primary keywords and identifiers 0 wxSTC_C_WORD Secondary keywords and identifiers 1 wxSTC_C_WORD2 Documentation comment ...

I haven't tried the styled control yet, but from the wxFormBuilder it looked like it is intended for big text windows and I haven't found a way how to remove its' scroll bars. Because I need to have basically just one line search bar where you can enter multiple words. But I don't need or want any ...

If you don't mind using wxStyledTextControl, its autocomplete feature can function in the manor you're describing.

AUI used tabs for MDI and doesn't seem to offer freely movable/resizable windows. ??? Are you thinking of wxAuiNotebook? wxAuiNotebook is only one small part of the the Aui docking system. Usually when using Aui you have windows docking left/right or above/below other windows with a splitter for re...

wxWidgets offers AUI. This video shows a demo.

You can iterate over the dialogs children and check which ones are check boxes like this: wxWindowList children = dialog->GetChildren(); for ( auto it = children.begin() ; it != children.end() ; ++ it ) { wxCheckBox* c = wxDynamicCast(*it,wxCheckBox); if ( c ) { // Do something with with the check b...

There doesn't seem to be a MSW only InitFromHBRUSH method like there is with some of the other GDI objects. But what you can do is call GetObject to get a LOGBRUSH. Then use the information in that structure to create a wxBrush.

Here's a discussion of ARM support for macOS from the wxDev group.

Basically the plan is to build universal binaries containing both ARM and x86-64 code similar to how the situation was handled during the transition from powerpc to x86.

Just use raw pointers. The panel is owned by the frame and so it will be deleted when the frame is destroyed. So there is no possibility of leaking the panel object.

Setting colors for native controls is usually not a good idea. It may not work or may not work as intended. Even if it works on one port, it may not work on other ports. As the documentation states : Notice that as with SetForegroundColour(), setting the background colour of a native control may not...

This tells all windows to resize to the minimum size. Just use SetSizer instead.

As the documentation states : When writing a multi-threaded application, it is strongly recommended that no secondary threads call GUI functions. What you can do is throw an event from your secondary thread and then in the handler for that event call Update/Refresh on the panel. The page for wxThrea...
