Ok, i'm new to windows programming but am pretty competant and so I decided the next thing to learn is how to create and use DLLs. So i decided to take an existing app and move my logging class to a DLL. The DLL itself works and I can load it up in my app fine, but when I run a function inside the D...

And thank raboof, not me

That's close.... But it looks like it's just cut out of the documentation. Not all of the macro descriptions have an ID shown. I guess I'll start compiling my own list to post up.

I hope that was a joke, otherwise you should eternally burn in hell! :lol: Well, yes and no really. :) I comment the heck out of my source so that like Jorg said, when i go back a year later i know what's going on. Documenting anything else for me is pointless as the people that use my apps are the...

IDE: Dev-Cpp (not wxDev-cpp) Dialogs: I do all my dialogs by hand. Makefile: Dev-Cpp Version Control: Subversion TODO: Trac, which is brilliant and has awesome SVN integration Exe Compression: Why bother? My clients have 200gig hard disks. :) Documentation: Sorry, I'm a programmer. I don't do docum...

For events, i ALWAYS use the Connect() method to register for events instead of using the macros. Maybe I'm weird, but macros make me feel dirty. 8) Anywayz, the only problem i seem to come across is that in the documantation events are referred to by their macros. eg: EVT_BUTTON(id, func) macro equ...

That'd be it. I get that compile error all the time cause I declare a destructor out of habit but then forget to define it if I don't need it.

Answer: The event must be connected to the event handler for the control in question, not the parent panel. :( Which is weird, cause i use the parent panel for the wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED events. So my code should have been: txtFirstname->Connect(ID_DEPS_NAME, wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS, (wxObjectEventFunc...

Can you connect to the remote server using any other software? There really shouldn't be any difference in connecting to a remote server from connecting to a local one apart from the server address. By default most database servers don't allow remote connections. So i'd start looking at the server c...

I thought what I'm trying to do would be easy, but obviously i lost too many brain cells over the weekend. :( But I simply want to be notified when a particular control loses focus. ie: I have a field where someone types in their first name and when they tab to the next field it fills out some other...

I just tried this myself. works fine except for when I need to wrap the text. anyone got any ideas on how to do this easily?

If yes, I found this

I needed this, so I figured i'd post an updated link just in case someone else does too.

Geez.. How did i miss that one?

Thanks for that.

This is probably a simple question but, can the wxGridSizers and derivatives do column or row spanning? I have a panel with a wxFlexGridSizer on it and I would like on of the cells to span across 2 columns. Anyone done something like this before?

As demonstrated.

When GetNext() returns false the cursor is still open. On some datasources you should be able to use GetFirst() and start again.

The cursor is only closed when another query is executed or the connection is closed.
