wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Hi all. I'm trying to build a simple wx app on linux using Anjuta . My app uses IBPP, a 3rd. party library for connecting to a Firebird database. I've successfully compiled the lib, linked and included it, and am able to compile the app just fine. However, when I run it, the program crashes and says...

I need to write a dialog that contains a series of horizontally-displayed UI widgets dynamically, at run-time. What would be my best approach? Isn't there some sort of container or panel that will auto-size them for me? That is my biggest concern, making them appear in a nice row in an attractive wa...

That worked great, thanks!

Bingo! Now that's perfect, thanks!

I'll take a look and try it out.

Ahh, I figured it was just the widgets given the examples I've been looking at.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't really help me. What I'm looking for is some simple examples, not a reference straight from the wxWidgets manual. I'd like to see how other people are using it, some tips & techniques, etc. The sample was just too huge and complicated, just like many others in the sa...

How can I convert other data types (int, double, object types, etc.) to a wxString type?

This problem arose for me (and became obvious that it isn't a simple cast) while trying to use the Append method of the wxComboBox and passing in an integer value.

Thanks!

I'm simply trying to draw a rectangular box w/ a background color onto my wxFrame window. I checked out the "drawing" example in the samples directory but it's extremely complicated and looks like several hundreds of lines of code. What I need is just a simple example, I don't need to write a photos...

I've been told that wxWidgets will do its own cleanup as far as creating/deleting objects, is this true in every case or just w/ some widgets? For example, with wxConfig: http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.4.2/wx72.htm#wxconfigbase You'll notice in the example that it is being deleted explicitly, is thi...

Thanks!

Haha...you're obviously very opposed to this design geon! So you want to create a class to manage a large number of widgets of the same type? Exactly... Normally one would use an array of widgets... Also not a bad solution but this defeats the purpose of trying to minimize the amount of code in the ...

Hi all, why dont u try getting the MingW compiler and win32 libraries downloaded in Linux and compile wxWidgets with i586-mingw32msvc-gcc support and then compile sample programs.....................??? i havent tried yet this out..but VLC Media Player uses this concept and produces .exe files in L...

Let's say I've got a wxFrame w/ 10 wxStaticBox controls, 20 wxButton controls, 20 or so wxComboBox controls, etc. This class, with all of these controls contained in it, can get quite large and a little tough to read/manage. Now let's say, for example, I take those 20 combo boxes and put them into a...

Hi! I suggest reading a bit on C++ here. A nice resource can be found here http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html There you can download the "famous" "Thinking in C++" books. The examples are sometimes confusing, but the articles mostly cover all the important stuff plus some addi...

Performance isn't an issue. The overhead added by any OO design woudn't even be noticeable on a 486. Still, I don't see why you need multiple inheritence here. What advantage do you get over the current design? I thought I had explained why I did this. This way, I can encapsulate controls into sepa...
