error: no matching function for call to `MyApp::MyApp()' note: candidates are: MyApp::MyApp(const MyApp&) I guess anywhere within that <stuff>, <other methods> and <other stuff> is a constructor (with more than 0 arguments) that prevents the default constructor from being autogenerated.

Where to intercept Alt-Keypress to simulate mnemonics

Hello, I have to extend a Notebook control (at present eranif's new Notebook control) to support mnemonics on tabs. But I am currently unable to intercept the corresponding keypresses to react to. So far I've tried wxEVT_CHAR event handlers in the topmost widget (the notebook page) and all panels an...

You mean you didn't experience this problem on windows? Naturally it depends on the precision of the datatype itself. But mathematically, floating point numbers are stored in terms of Mantisse * 2 ^ Exponent (IEEE754) where both Mantisse and Exponent are integers of a limited width. So, to store 1.1...

Actually this seems to be a plain c++ float/double precision issue: Actually, it's the C(++) floating point precision issue. Floating point numbers just are not precise. If you can't store 1.1 in a double, then a double simply can't represent 1.1 exactly. You will have to live with that or use a fi...

I suppose you double-delete those pointers, or the pointers stored in the vector are not allocated via new wxString.

Flexible Event Callbacks revised

As I stated, I have evaluated the mechanism and I wanted to reduce the dependencies between wxEvtHandler and the actual handler functions even more. For example, if you handle wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, there's really no need to specify that the argument is of type wxCommandEvent& in the Conne...

Additionally, the syntax is more natural modern C++, i.e. &Class::Method instead of wxSomeEventHandler(Class::Method). Nice approach, I have been close to trying something similar myself. I will try this out and possibly post some more remarks later. EDIT: I would plead for a more modern event s...

You had to make the OnExit method static because you are actually calling it when declaring the event table (notice the empty parens!). Since you are calling it without an object, it must be static for that piece of code to work. However, I guess you wanted EVT_MENU(EVENTID_MAINFRAME_EXIT,GhostFrame...

Probably your wxWidgets is compiled in Unicode mode. Then, wxString doesn't manage character arrays, but wide character arrays. You cannot pass narrow character arrays directly. Furthermore, the wxT macro is useful only for string literals. Two ways to make this work: // using wide characters direct...

Since I started with wxWidgets only after 2.7, I can't say how it was before, however, when I connect an event handler to wxID_OK and call event.Skip() after doint my own stuff, I don't need to do anything to close the dialog myself. Maybe this helps... void MyDialog::OnOk( wxCommandEvent& event...

... and besides, wx will use exclusively STL in the future in which there are no such "problems", wouldn't it ? Agreed, as long as dereferencing iterators of wxArray doesn't evaluate to void* (at least I've experienced that with 2.7, but I will verify it before filing any reports). Are th...

You should use a C++ style cast: wxTextCtrl* myTC = static_cast< wxTextCtrl* >(FindWindowById(ID_MySQLADDRESS)); // if you are _absolutely_ sure that FindWindowById(ID_MySQLADDRESS) will return a wxTextCtrl* if (myTC == 0) { /* nope, this control was not found */ } // or wxTextCtrl* myTC = dynamic_c...

Since I'm interested, too, this still doesn't work out for item no. 3000000 for example. A solution could be defining the not_found-id as (size_t)-1 (or more conformant std::numeric_limits<size_t>::max()-1), which is the largest possible size_t. This would only render one possible index useless, not...

This will again only work if the character type is only one byte wide. In general, you're safest when you mark all literal strings with wxT(), since this works fine in both Unicode and ANSI modes. More precisely: A narrow character string in C++ is represented by the text within quotation marks. A w...
