Off course it works ! Zip compression can match every file formats ! Here is an example but try to search a bit in the wxWidgets documentation : wxFFileOutputStream loc_o_file( _S( par_o_file ) ); wxZipOutputStream loc_o_zip( loc_o_file ); wxDataOutputStream loc_o_data( loc_o_zip ); // Create a new...

But if the file I want to put inside the zip archive isn't a text file does it works?

I want to create a compressed zip file and put inside it a single existing file.
I saw the help documents and I don't understand how can I do it.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks for your great explanation!

You should refrain from writing to the buffer directly, because the characters in wxString will be stored differently depending on the Unicode build settings (ie: each character might be 1 or 2 bytes -- as opposed to your file which will always be 1 byte). But if in the file I have only 1 byte for ...

I have a problem when I get text from a file. I get the right text when not in unicode but the wrong text in unicode. On unicode it saves right but what I get is not the text on the file. This is what i use to save and load from a file: Save: class Serializer { public: Serializer (wxString const & n...

Is there a way to get the path of the current user documents directory so I can save his data and configuration files?
And that works on every OS?

I tried everything you told but only Fit on the tab bar does something. The problem is that doesn't fill the all area. I'll post some code. First it sizes the toolbar and the panel where the tab bar will sit and shows it: ... resourcepanel = new wxPanel(this, wxID_ANY); vbox->Add(resourcepanel, 1, w...

My problem is the inverse of Notepad or Emacs. Instead of a available (scratch) work area when I call the application, I want that the user explicitly opens a new work area so it can be displayed. In my case, I have a menu bar, and a tool bar that I want to be displayed when I run the application. A...

The problem was with the preprocessor definitions.
It's ok now.
I've copied the ones from the minimalist example.
Sorry for only replying to the answers now!

I want to use wxWidgets on vista with visual express c++ 2008.
The install tutorial says the instructions are for windows xp.
I tried for myself on vista but a very simple c++ application gives me 2 link errors: unresolved external symbol.
Can I still use wxWidgets on vista?
