Re: Where to Store User Data

Dear doublemax, Thank you for the extremely informative post. The connection between {placeholders} and environment variables is clear. I really appreciated the final code snippet from your installer. That makes installation easier. The next thing I wanted to know was, what are all the placeholders ...

Re: Where to Store User Data

OneEyeMan, thank you for the explanation of wxStandardPaths and the useful functions within it. Here is another question. Let's say my program is to be installed into C:\Program Files\IRT\DAS128 and the sample data I talked about earlier will be stored in C:\Program Files\IRT\DAS128\Sample Data Who ...

Re: Where to Store User Data

OneEyeMan, thank you for your reply. I do know about GetStandardPaths. I used it to get the ProgramData directory. But that directory is supposed to be used only for files used by my program, not the user. Right? This is where my knowledge about what files belong where, ends. I know enough to know I...

Where to Store User Data

In my application's installation program, I need to define a directory in which to store user data. When I say "user data," I mean files the user will create and edit on his own, outside the program, or possibly from within the program. These will be setup files for tests and test results....

Need Example of wxFileConfig

I am trying to understand how the wxFileConfig class works. My task is to read, edit, and save an INI file containing 128 of the following data groups. There's actually more data than I show here for each channel, but I want to keep it simple for this question. [Channel 3] cal eqn=Linear channel id=...

I am looking at the sample program that came with wxWidgets called statbar (see below). Part of the executable of statbar shows a wxStatusBar bar containing a checkbox, a bitmap, and text. statbar.cpp My question is, how do the checkbox, bitmap, and text get loaded into the fields of the status box?...

Re: Could Not Convert to a bool--why not?

@PB--thank you for the suggestion about smart pointers. I had never heard of them, so they will be a new tool in my software toolbox. Regarding not executing destructor code--that's a good point. I'll go over what I have for now, destructor-wise, and verify I'm not missing executing something there....

Re: Could Not Convert to a bool--why not?

@Manolo and doublemax, O M G!!! LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN! You were both right--I had two boolean values that were supposed to be displayed in wxDataViewListCtrl checkboxes, but I was sending in UInt16s. I changed their values to be explicitly booleans, and now everything works again. I don't know why the...

How do I fix "error: '__off64_t' does not name a type"?

Below is a build log of the build of my MinGW/wxWidgets/CodeLite workspace. As you can see, I have two projects that compile into a DLL, and they build fine. One DLL is plain C, and the other is a small C++ wrapper without any GUI. The main program is the one that bombs. It is a GUI in C++. C:\Windo...

Re: Latest Version of setup.h?

Thank you for replying, doublemax. The first wx header inside ut_gui.h used to be #include <wx/string.h> Now the wx files in the ut_gui.h file #include list are just these: #include <wx/wx.h> // 5z #include <wx/string.h> // 6 I also edited the wrapper procedures to do more what I need them to do, an...
