The only thing I can think of that should work on all platforms won't break the tab order is to add an extra hidden item and initially set the focus to it. For example, a frame with 4 buttons constructor might look like this: wxPanel* panel = new wxPanel(this); panel->Hide(); wxButton* button1 = new...

That's pretty much the classical job for a mask . With wxWidgets, you create a mask like this (assuming m_bmp is a wxBitmap member of the MyFrame class): MyFrame::MyFrame(...):wxFrame(...) { ... ::wxInitAllImageHandlers(); Bind(wxEVT_PAINT,&MyFrame::OnPaint,this); m_bmp = wxBitmap("test_sample.png",...

wxFontPickerCtrl::GetSelectedColour should give the color.

Try something like this: // For compilers that support precompilation, includes "wx/wx.h". #include "wx/wxprec.h" #ifdef __BORLANDC__ #pragma hdrstop #endif // for all others, include the necessary headers (this file is usually all you // need because it includes almost all "standard" wxWidgets head...

When linking statically, you also need to include the scintilla library (wxscintilla-3.0-x86_64-w64-mingw32.a based on the picture you posted above).

Since which wxWidgets Version is this control available? 3.0?

I'm not sure when it was added, but I was recently looking at commits from 2004, so it's been in for a long time.

You need to change

Hi, OK, but what purpose has the SetWindowStyleFlag function if it has more or less no effect? In fairness, the documentation does state: Please note that some styles cannot be changed after the window creation and that Refresh() might need to be called after changing the others for the change to t...

If you want to hide the caret in a styled text control, you should probably call
on the stc object.

On the page for wxTopLevelWindow, they state

Note that the instances of wxTopLevelWindow are managed by wxWidgets in the internal top level window list.

You don't need to delete mainWindow. As part of application termination, wxWidgets destroys all top level widows.

The dialogs sample is in the samples folder that comes with the wxWidgets library - specifically in the folder <WXROOT>/samples/dialogs. If you're using a separate worker thread, it's very important that you never call gui methods from the secondary thread. So you'll have to update the progress dial...

It sounds like what you want is the wxProgressDialog class. There is a short example this page and larger example in the dialogs sample.

The usual way to do this is to to create is to create an initially hidden panel, add all the controls to it, and then show the panel. You might want to also consider using a property grid. That way you can group things in logical categories and it would probably offer a less crowded interface for th...

If you're using 3.0 or later, wxString can be implicitly cast to const char*. So you can just do:
If the string contains only ascii characters, that's the easiest thing to do.
