Any news on how things are going with efforts to get wxDevcpp working with MS compilers instead of gcc compilers?

Is it possible to use MS dlls with WxDevcpp?

If not is there something akin to implib (Borlands utility to convert ms dlls to something borlands compilers can use) for wxDevcpp?

There is a sticky in the compiler ide related forum on using precompiled headers with gcc. Any chance this fix be included in the next edition of wxdevcpp.

I do not quite follow you, do you want to use a wxFrame as base for your buttons? If so, why? I saw this snippet from you; ShapedButton::ShapedButton(wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& label, const wxPoint& position, const wxSize& size) : wxFrame(parent, id, label, position, size, 0 |...

Ok, I've looked at the base classes for a few widgets, ie frames, panels and buttons. All have wxWindow as a base class. wxFrame has wxToplevelwindow as a base as well. However wxMDIchildframe has wxFrame as a base and therefore wxToplevelwindow as a base as well. So it seems that there is a way to ...

Hi Jorg, Now I'm a little confused. If thats the case then the frame style wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT seems a little redundant. I got the impression that this style would make the frame a child of its parent. Though when compiled the result is exactly as you say. You cannot use a wxFrame as a inherited...

Thanks for the comments. I need to make a honeycomb pattern of buttons. As a start I'm trying make a button with a hexagonal shape. wxBitmapButton sort of works but has a few problems. The main one being that the corners (as the button in reality is still square) still show up if I pack the buttons ...

Hi All, I'm trying to change the shape of a button. I've looked at the "shaped" example and tried to modify it for my needs. The sample basically changes the shape of a frame. I can get it to change to the desired shape. However, I cant get it to be a child of a panel or more precisely have the fram...

If you using wxdevcpp theres an opengl tutorial here:

Hi All,

Has anybody successfully made/used buttons with shapes other than rectangular?

Hi,

I guess this is more for Guru and others working on wxDevcpp code.

I was wondering if anyone thought that wxDevcpp was now sufficiently stable and functional enough to be used as a replacement for Delphi in making wxDevcpp?

Is this along way off, or am I dreaming?

Thanks
Ross

Thanks NinjaNL & Guru,

I'll get started.

Hi NinjaNl,

I'd like to contribute to the tutorials by adding an one on OpenGl. Any guide lines for me to follow regarding this? Also do you have any tips, ie straight HTML or start from something like word and then convert it? Finally who do I send it to for hosting?

Cheers

This maybe a silly question but is it possible to control firewire devices with wxWidgets or do I need a separate library?
