Remove an entry/page from wxHtmlHelpController

Is it possible at all to remove a 'book/file" from wxHtmlHelpController - added with AddBook()?

I would like to be able to remove a book being displayed with an alternate file, but have not found any way to remove an existing page/book.
TIA

Re: wxDateTime & BC Dates

I think I have identified the basic issue - a reference to a deleted object - which wxDateTime.IsValid considers 'valid' even though it looks like 0xdddddddddd.
There issues with having the object deleted too early, but that is another thing.

wxDateTime & BC Dates

In my current app I wanted to work with BC dates. As discussed in https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50977 I ended up using the generic wxCalendarCtrl and it allows me to enter dates such as -100 for the start and -50 for the end of some (test) event. However, once I start processi...

Re: wxDatePickerctrl - access to dropdown wxCalendarCtrl

No I hadn't seen your update and I will have a look at it. As it is, the app I am working with was initially made when screens were still rather small and thus the date picker was used; now that screens are much larger and have better resolution, I think I will stick with the calendar control, at le...

Re: wxDatePickerctrl - access to dropdown wxCalendarCtrl

Thank you - your post made re-explore the calendar sample and I realized I misunderstood. DoubleMax's comment and picked the wrong 'generic' option from the menu. I had used the 'generic' version under 'Date picker' instead of the 'generic' from the Calendar menu entry. The generic calendar lets be ...

Re: wxDatePickerctrl - access to dropdown wxCalendarCtrl

Thank you for pointing that out, ... but I am still having issues when I work with that generic version in the wxCalendar sample. - running on Win 11, MSVC 2022, wxWidgets 3.2.2 At the top of the sample, I have anabled the generic datepicker with #undef wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL_GENERIC #define wxUSE_DATEP...

wxDatePickerctrl - access to dropdown wxCalendarCtrl

I would like to be able to customize the wxCalendarCtrl accessible from the wxDatePickerCtrl when the wxDP_DROPDOWN style is used. As I would like to cover date ranges from BC to AD, it seems the default date ranges are not suitable and yet, I would prefer to stick with the wxDatePickerctrl for it s...

Re: Trying to build wxFormBuilder via CMake

Just for the record, the issues have been resolved and I have been able to compile, link and run the 64-bit version of wxFB successfully. What I needed to do: 1) to fix the missing wxScintilla symbols: modify the main CMakeLists.text file and edit the line set(wxWidgetsComponentsRequired media xrc r...

Trying to build wxFormBuilder via CMake

Way down in a rabbit hole, I am trying to compile (a debuggable version of) wxFormBuilder (wxFB) under Windows for MSVC 2022. It seems I need to run with wxFB because I need/want to build a GUI for a wxPython app. Current status: I have downloaded the latest wxFB code from GitHub I can build the rel...

Re: Sizer flags & Ellipsize

:D I think I've got it :D I realized, I think, that EXPAND and ALIGN_any_way are sort of contradictory for a sizer. Unfortunately that was the only way I could get what I wanted. Your solution to remove the alignment from the sizer and add it to the wxStaticText control with the ALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZON...

Re: Sizer flags & Ellipsize

I can't quite see it that way for a wxStaticText control.' EXPAND' controls the length within it containing sizer. Alignment controls the position within that sizer. If I don't expand the static text control, the width, which I need to pass to the ellipsize code, is 0 and nothing gets displayed For ...

Re: Sizer flags & Ellipsize

I suppose the real issue is that I should take this up with the developers because I think the ASSERT may, IMO, be too strong a deterrent as I think there are legitimate cases where the arrangement is needed and the ASSERT is ill advised. FWIW, and to document how the code is setup m_staticTextLastH...

Resizing static text controls with ellipsized text

Currently I am displaying ellipsized static text strings in a resizable About dialog. During the TransferDataToWindow() call all of the logic for these strings is done once. If the user wanted to resize the dialog for any reason, possibly to get more details of the shrunk ellipsized string, I would ...
