You can create a function in the Preg Dlg class to accept a variable of type File. So the code might look like: class CPrefs1Dlg: wxDialog { -- private: File *ownerFileObj; public: SetFileObj(File *obj) { ownerFileObj = obj; } -- } In the Main Frame where you call the Pref Dlg, you can do something ...

Mod: I accidentally clicked the "accept" linked and marked this answer as accepted one. Sorry. Is there a way to revert this ? If you have a variable declared in the Frm's .h file, you can directly use it in the .cpp file, you dont have to use extern keyword. Also please let me know how you have def...

Did you rebuilt the wx Library are just your app ? If you change the STL value in the setup.h then you pretty much need to recompile your whole wx Library.

Is your variable "extern File fileMember;" declared somewhere else ? if not you will get the linker error. You are telling the compiler that you have variable fileMember of type File declared in someother file other than the current one. Another question is what exactly you need the dirDlg return va...

I want to add several panels in the notebook. However, the canvas of panel cannot automatically resize themselves. What I do for this is, I add wxNotebookPage (which is nothing by wxPanel but specific to NoteBook) and set the expanded property and make the stretch factor to 1. Then add a box sizer/...

My advice is to use ODBC classes from wxWidgets. If we are writing a generic application then it makes sense to use ODBC but for writing a Front End (which I presume is the tool that allows you to play with MySQL database), it is advisable to stick with native api provided by MySQL libraries. There...

If you take the source created by wx-DevC++ and compile it in another platform, it will work without much change. Even though I use the programs I created with wx-DevC++ in windows, I was able compile 2 of my applications in mac (both PPC and Intel) without any changes and they work without any prob...

I just retried the link and it works fine (both the webpage and the download link). Is anyone else have this problem ?
Please let me know.

Oops, I'm late. Use Code::Blocks to compile wxWidgets app with Borland Turbo C++ Explorer edition. C::B's wxWidgets project wizard officially supports it!! The Question is "how to use the IDE", you answer explains how to use the command line compiler in C:B. Not sure your answer is related to the q...

@gururamnath This only works with debugbuilds right? I wouldn't ship a debugbuild to a customer, since debugcode is mostly slower (and bigger) then release code. Even I dont ship the debug build but if there is hard to debug crash, then I would send a special debug build to the customer who is havi...

There are couple of libs in Codeproject that gives the crash info in VC++6.0. I'm not sure about VC++ 5.0.

With VC++2003 and above a debug executable crash will create crash info file (forgot the file extension), if you open this crash info file in the IDE (or double click on it), it directly take you to the exact location where the crash occurs in the source (forgot if it gives the variable info at that...

I would have the function code something like this and add it at the end of CreateGUIControls function: void CMainFrm::SetNotebookImageList(void) { wxImageList *imgList = new wxImageList(16,16); wxBitmap IMG_XPM0_Bitmap(IMG_XPM0); imgList->Add(IMG_XPM0_Bitmap); wxBitmap IMG_XPM1_Bitmap(IMG_XPM1); im...

I have created a prebuilt library and a project template for Turbo C++. Have a look at http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=13397 .
