wxWidgets Discussion Forum

There are SetAppName() and SetAppDisplayName() members of wxAppConsole that should be useful.

It should really be as easy as downloading the sources, opening the relevant .sln file and hitting "Build Solution (F7)".

Does this have anything to do with wxWidgets? Are you using it or want to?

Hmm, you might be on a less-than-optimal track here.. That book has a lot of valuable information. However, it is based on a very old wxW version, and since then some things have improved or even changed. To answer your "include" question, probably the best place to go for it is the online...

Using any wxW macros is no different than using any other C++ ones. You should probably start with understanding the use of macros in general. After you get the hang of C++ features, you can find examples of using wxWidgets API and specific symbols in "samples" folder that comes with the c...

I'm curious if wxWidgets provides a "cross-platform" way to toggle whether our programs receive double click mouse events at runtime, after window creation. Or at least when a wxWindow is created? No, it does not. Does wxWidgets even have "double clicking" in a cross-platform wa...

This forum is mostly about wxWidgets toolkit.
This is a C++ question, and not a very elaborate one. Just try googling "using c++ macros" and start from there.

IIUC wx-config is supposed to tell you what wxW builds are available on your system. Does it find both static and dynamic builds? If you don't have the dll build of wxW, you need to build it yourself or install some already built libs. Building the libs is documented. Then for choosing the build tha...

When it needs the wx dll-s, obviously the app was built using dynamic libs, even if you intended otherwise. I can't help with setting up Eclipse, but the way to select the static libraries is to include the 'static' version of the library e.g. [...] -I"/msys64/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-static-...

Well, there you have it. You set an explicit size for the text control which probably makes it look ugly. And it will probably look even uglier if different theme, DPI etc will be used, when button height will differ from whatever you're setting now for the text control. I don't know why you need th...

No, there isn't. You need to show some minimal code that you actually use when getting the described result. The text control should automatically adjust its size based on the font [size] that was used, unless you explicitly set the control size, in which case there are more chances that it will loo...

wxWindow [derived] classes instantiated using the default constructor are just the containers without the native widget. Obviously the default constructor will not call Create() (which for non-top level windows would also be impossible because the parent is required). The default constructor + Creat...

That is not a "crash" but an assert, and the difference between the 2 is significant.

When should the timer event occur? After the dialog was "closed" in one of the other button events?

Does calling EndModal(wxID_OK) instead of the last 2 calls change anything?

How do you verify it? Maybe you're verifying a different thread.
