wxWidgets Discussion Forum

I'm saving a simple text file using wxTempFile. Currently, I'm just adding the "\r\n" to the end of strings written to the file to declare a newline. However, for portability between Windows and Unix is there a generic EOL method? Something like cout << endl in the standard namespace? Than...

Ok. I see. So they both could (potentially) be equal in execution speed and efficiency.

Thanks.

The FAQ states that wxWidgets defines a common API across platforms, but uses the platform's native GUI interface.

On Windows, does this mean that the wxWidgets calls are really just wrappers to the MFC library?

Thanks.

I'm using the following statement in wx-devcpp: wxFileDialog WxOpenFileDialog1(this, _("Choose a file:"), "Data Files" , "" , "*.*", wxOPEN); According to the wxwidgets documentation, the 3rd parameter ("Data Files") should be the name of the default...

That did the trick.

Thanks again Guru. You're the best!

I'll add a bug report to the wx-devcpp list.

I'm using wx-devcpp-beta-6.5. I have a wxMenu added to a wxFrame. I'd like to add a check mark next to one of my menu items. wx-devcpp coded the following: WxMenuBar1 = new wxMenuBar( ); wxMenu *ID_MNU_DATABASEOPTIONS_1004_Mnu_Obj = new wxMenu(0); WxMenuBar1->Append(ID_MNU_DATABASEOPTIONS_1004_Mnu_O...

Guru,

I think this was with the 6.5 beta. I downloaded it from the link you posted on this forum. However, the executable still says 6.4beta so I'm not sure if the link you had was correct. Could you provide a new link on the website?

Thanks.

Ok. I seem to have found how to do this after a little more fumbling around. Although I can't add the OpenFileDialog box to a wxFrame, I can add a button to the frame which opens the FileDialog dialog box when it is clicked. I suppose I was thinking that the tool in wx-devcpp could do this if you tr...

>> wxFrame can accept menubars, toolbars etc. but you can't add a dialog to a frame. Yikes, so is this a catch-22? Why wouldn't there be a way to have dialogs and user-defined menus working? I've found that text boxes, buttons, and menu bars work on wxFrame, but that the wxFileDialog (along with oth...

I've been using wx-devcpp for development and have the hang of creating projects with wxDialog. It doesn't seem like I can add menu bars to these dialog boxes. Is that true? Assuming no, then I've been trying to create a wxFrame project (which looks like it can accept menu bars in wx-devcpp). Howeve...

Guru,

I haven't seen anything listed on your "Recent Activity" webpage in sometime. Any news on the next version of wx-devcpp 6.5beta? Maybe you could have a nightly build snapshot posted on the webpage?

Thanks for all of your hardwork!
