wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Actually getting an implementation that worked for Mac was really difficult. If you look at the source, I had to build a custom popup type window so that it wouldn't steel the focus. There shouldn't be any limitation on the number of items. Only the items that are currently shown are actually drawn,...

I'm joining this discussion late. There was a similar problem with wxStyledTextCtrl with it's autocomplete window. I rewrote much of that portion of the code using wxVListCtrl to allow the wxStyleTextCtrl window keep focus while showing the popup, so looking at that code for wxSTCPopupBase and wxSTC...

You don't delete detached threads. They delete themselves when they are finished.

A frame is a top level window and can't be placed in other windows.

I think you need to TARGET_CPU=ARM64 to the end of the command.

As doublemax said, creating the graphics context is an expensive operation and I suspect that this is what's causing the poor performance. I ran into this problem when adding the ability to use direct2d graphics for wxSTC and I ultimately abanoned using wxGraphicsContext and just used windows platfo...

I still used codeblocks with vc, but the integrated debugger was never very good. When I need to debug I use windbg (it's part of the windows sdk).

Electron (used for Slack, Postman, etc) supports this and it is a really nice feature. Unfortunately as PB said, I don't think there is any way for wxWidgets to do this because of limitations in the underlying toolkits.

As a general rule, you shouldn't count on getting mouse and character events from native controls because the native control might consume them internally.

No. Resources are a Mac/Windows concept that doesn't have an analogue in Linux. The best you can do is encode the image as data and include it in the application itself. This page lists a few ways of doing that.

Yes.

I started something similar as a programming exercise a few years ago. circularcontrol.png I'll dump the code here in case it might be useful, but I don't remember most of the details: #include <wx/wx.h> static int MyRound(double d) { return static_cast<int>(floor(d+.5)); } class circularcontrolFram...

Here's an example of how to paint the font names in a window instead of using static text items. Right now it only draws the first 3 font names: #include <wx/wx.h> #include <wx/fontenum.h> class FontDrawer : public wxWindow { public: FontDrawer(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos...

wxWidgets has the wxFileConfig class that can be used to save app settings in the manner appropriate for each system. If you don't want to use that class, there is also wxStandardPaths that can be used to get the data path for each system without resorting to platform specific code.

If you want to share applications in linux so that user's don't have to install anything, you'll need to use a format like snap, flatpack, or appimage.
