Hello, You can override wx[Rich]TextCtrl::PaintBackground. Just think to go with wxBufferedDC and to prepare your image outside of this handler (storing the result as class member for example).

Yes, I can still edit what I want in wxSmith after the change. In my opinion, if it reverts it could be because your missed some occurrences (for example, in the .wxs or .cbp files). You should avoid to do it manually. With a search & replace tool, the overall job is done in seconds.

Hello, If it's about a wxPanel based class of yours, you have a "Class name" field in wxSmith. If it's about an instance name rather than the class one, you have a field for variable name. However, you can't rename all the classes from within the wxSmith's interface. For example, unless mi...

I'm afraid that I can't post the complete source code since what I'm working on doesn't mean to be an open source project. I talked about sample, not your entire project. Here, a lot of us are working on closed source, but it doesn't mean we don't show some code when required ; and when you ask for...

I'm very aware of the existence of wxThread class, however, I think it's a lot of overhead to create a separated class just to launch a thread and this thread just calls a single function. Do you think it's possible for me to achieve what I want withbonly std::async or std::thread? I don't know, I ...

Hello, If you want to implement a worker thread the wxWidgets way, you have to derive wxThread (your class providing its own Entry() method mainly), then this class will send a custom event (so, you have to define this event and add an handler for it in your main thread) to the main thread when some...

Hello, The wxSmith plugin is maintained by the Code::Blocks team. So, the best place for help is there: http://forums.codeblocks.org/

To ease your Graphic User Interface design, your best choice is to rely on a GUI designer which will write the C++ code for you. See https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=38962, https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=44199 and http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Comparison_of_wxS...

The only real beef I had with my old Mailwasher was no UTF-8 support and that was bothering more with time. On my part, it's not as important because I only use Mailwasher (v. Pro 6.0) for filtering. I never use it for preview (I have PopMan upstream for this). My workflow is PopMan to see importan...

Bravo! I'm using Mailwasher for screening (an old version too:) and PopMan (sounds discontinued and neither UTF-8 nor HTML compliant) for POP/IMAP monitoring and preview. Since my regular email client is still Eudora (never found better in spite of its low UTF-8 support), long time ago, I wrote a ti...

Hello, Never used wxSocketClient/Server myself, but found this old thread talking about issue migrating from 2.8 to 3.0: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... Geq1404ERk

Hello, What is your question ? Every type of control has its own requirements and not sure to understand the benefit to create a wrapper which will simply call the underlying method for the concerned control class. Also, knowing you add a level of abstraction, you'll have to figure-out the type of e...

Hello, Your questions are quite large and unfocused... Very difficult to answer when as many things are mixed. First, you need to ensure your compiler is reachable by your IDE (here CodeBlocks). For this, you can fine tune an existing entry in the compilers list (far easier) or create a new entry. W...

You talked about your own first program under C:\source. What's the relationship with C:\wxWidget\samples\minimal\gcc_mswud\minimal.exe? Also, you auto-congratulate yourself with a SOLVED tag against your own post. It's not the way it works: you have to attach the SOLVED tag to the post that helped ...

Hmmm, if you don't want to use any IDE (neither Visual Studio/MSVC nor Code::Blocks/MinGW), you have to master the command line for building by yourself... So, here, all is said in your build log: the header file "wx/wx.h" is not in one of the search paths you indicated for the header file...
