The bug fix release was a critical release and nothing else. As it was recompiled and re-released due to errors that would crash the IDE when you would try to delete sizers. It did correct this problem and many others making it more stable than 6.0.1. You may actually be having problems with the new...

When there are encoding conflicts the parser processing the string will use filler characters that are not usually used by default as heads up. This is also a workaround to prevent the parser from crashing a system by at least assigning some value to the character that is in question. You may have e...

Enlarge your contempt right now with these spuds and be eligible for a free micro-Trojan and a complete library of boot-viruses, as-well-as a port-crushing e-Mail spooler attacks at no additional comfort to you. We've got everything to make ya' grit your teeth and entertain thoughts of murder. :twis...

XUL is definitely all about UI in an XML/XRC styled semantic, but it is parsed by a Mozilla foundation authored parser. This is good to know if you wish to add XUL widgets and skin Mozilla applications, but not really capable of handling or consuming alot of services without being seriously extended...

My excellent coloring book thread has actually gotten, as of 24Mar07-23:05
sixteen(16) views. that says that the wxCommunity rules baby!

You gotta' be deep to look at a coloring book posting about a GUI framework or seriously OCD like me to ever think it possible.

Awesome.

Borland C++ Suite compiles out to Dos 3.0 up to Win32 bit out of the box, Linux and Solaris as well, has a database and a bunch of other good stuff. Use a visual GUI designer for the pretty stuff, do some needle point in Borland stitching everything together and publish. There isn't much by way of M...

Deitel & Deitel is a mixed bag with some, but I myself have their Java and C++ Learning Editions and I can not say that I'm disappointed at all with either of them. I am affirmed that they are competent authors with a proven background in engineering and professional networking having worked int...

Java was my first big deal after I was tinkering with HTML v.3.quirksMode and discovered the miracle of reverse engineering as an excellent hack learning tool. I was conservative looking at the overall as the language is easier and far less uglier than C++. People fail to really think in terms of ov...

Damn Small Linux(DSL) is a full blown Debian/Knoppix Linux box at a size of 50 MB's and can be run with a USB flash memory stick. Now the sweet part about it is you can run the Linux OS from the USB without closing Windows. The Linux shell is run inside a window on your Windows desktop, and that is ...

The Pro Version is $15 and carries a license for commercial use.

I was expecting a two-hundred dollar price tag...

Needless to say it looks good and feature rich for a little $15 dollar investment.

How does it handle? Is it user-friendly?

Photomania Deluxe Viewing and converting xpm images on windows, if you think GIMP is uneasy, bulky and non-MS$ GUI complaint. Interesting and nicely priced at $15, not a bad deal at all. I already have Photoshop CS, Xara X1 and more... Plus headaches using them all, it's like rocket science. I appr...

Hi! The problem is that you link with wxWidgets libraries, but not with the standard Windows ones needed to use the underlying API. Add comctl32.lib to your linker list and the problem should be gone. In general when you see a line like wxmsw28u_core.lib(app.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved externa...

Takes care of any and every question I had about that system.

Thankyou.

You essentially converted a bitmap into a .png which is not a bitmap with transparency. When you cropped the bitmap and converted the image file into .png with alpha channels the .png parser took the image data that was translated by wxWidgets services and saved the file with the transparency. that ...

wxDevC++ is an overhauled DevC++ IDE that runs a MinGW GNUC compiler and or MSW, depending how you configure the environment. The release during February was v1.6.0 and was buggy, leveraging wxWidgets 2.6.0. wxWidgets has a newer release to address the severe crashes that were prone to version v1.6....
