Re: WebView library under Mint

Was that all output from the apt-get install line, or are the last 3 or 4 lines from later, when you're trying to build your project? Yes, that was all from one command Sure, but you've installed wx libs designed for dynamic-linking... AFAIK nobody supplies pre-built static-linking wx libs. If you ...

Re: WebView library under Mint

Definitely 'static'? That's unusual for Linux builds: 99% of people use dynamic linking (and the other 1% should too!). Coming from Windows where I have always( at least for as long as I have 'really' used wxWidgets) used static libs Where did you install that build? Not really sure enough to answe...

WebView library under Mint

I am trying to port a wxWidgets 3.2.1 project from Windows to Mint 21.1. The GUI was built with wxCrafter and includes a wxWebView control. All compiles and links OK under Windows, but on Mint, using Codelite 17.0.0 I run into issues because I seem to be unable to find and link the expected library ...

Re: Making wxCombobox box autocomplet case sensitive

Finally got some time to 'dig in'

Found some old code which tried to do what I was expecting to happen, but did it in a case-insensitive way.
So problem was in my code :oops: , not in wxWidgets - embarrassing but also good to find.

Thank you all, esp. DoubleMax

Re: Making wxComox box autocomplet case sensitive

Things got just a bit curiouser. All code is handled simply by <enter> wile the caret is in the text control; not using the 'execute' button adjacent to the control I call bool b = m_comboBoxTestArgs->AutoComplete( wxArrayString() ); in the main frame ctor; At that point b== true I enter 3 strings -...

Re: Missing wxAUI code

@doublemax: I am trying to build under CodeLite - probably should have asked there :oops: @new pagodi: as a test, I also created a new wxframe default project under CodeLite to see how it specifies any wxWidgets libraries, and it does not list any specific libraries nor does it add anything to the d...

Re: Making wxComox box autocomplet case sensitive

That compiles, but right now, it is not at all obvious to me just what difference it makes, since I am still trying to understand what this 'feature' is intended to do do and what it does specifically under different conditions. My aim, at this stage was to use the a drop down combo box to save the ...

Re: Making wxComox box autocomplet case sensitive

Sorry, my bad since I am asking re both Win & Linux these days.
This app is running under Win 11.
And I have no idea how I would even set up to enable it; so it must be the default.
Can/should I just set an 'empty' auto completer?

Re: Missing wxAUI code

That is likely what the problem is. I am coming back to Linux after quite some time off and need to relearn a lot of things. FWIW, is there a recommended way to clean up & restart from scratch? After running ../configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --with-gtk I get: Configured wxWidgets 3....

Making wxComox box autocomplet case sensitive

As part of my first foray into autocomplete on a wxComboBox, I find that the autocomplete 'forces' a case-insensitive selection into the text control, which is very unhelpful when I want to test entries with different capitalizations. In the current case, I need to test command line arguments to an ...

Re: wxFileConfig & memory manangement in recent releases

Perhaps I am not the only one who does not quite understand. For whatever reason, lost in the mist & fog of time, I maintain a copy of my config data in memory. The pointer to the config object is only used when the data is read in or written to disk. At the very start, I decided not to use the ...

Re: wxFileConfig & memory manangement in recent releases

You may have misunderstood how the static method works. For starters, it does not return a copy. very likely - never had formal education for either C++ or wxWidgets - all self-taught More importantly, you cannot just call wxConfigBase::Set() passing it a pointer you later delete without wxWidgets ...
