Re: wxFileConfig & memory manangement in recent releases
Hi, You are a unique human being. Sure hope so ... People usually don't want extra work... 😀 No extra work - just a different way from the way you do thing, I presume. Instead of getting the pointer when needed, I simply keep a copy. Keeping track of the current path is similar, either I keep track...

Re: wxFileConfig & memory manangement in recent releases
Thank you all for your comments. I did read the documentation and followed the comments in the sample code, which says: // Of course, calling Set() is optional and you only must do it if // you want to later retrieve this pointer with Get(). As I am saving/keeping track of the pointer myself, I saw ...

wxFileConfig & memory manangement in recent releases
In the past, my apps have regularly used wxFileConfig to handle persistent data. Running under Win 10/11 64-bit, MSVC 2022, wxWidgets 3.2.1 This meant, that when the app closed down it had to release the the config instance structure as part of my code with delete m_pConfig; As of wxWidgets 3.2.1, I...

wxGenericProgressDialog auto-resize problem
In one of my apps I am trying to use a wxGenericProgressDialog created on the stack. The problem I am seeing is that the dialog width is jumping all over the place, depending on the length of the string I am trying to display. I have tried using ellipsizing, but it only helps to a degree. In the Sta...

Re: Embedding the PC Name in an app
Thank you, yes the data has to be set up during the compile/link phase, not during run-time. Fortunately I am using the MSVC IDE and your suggestion to use a pre-build step is the perfect and relatively easy solution. In fact it is greatly simplified, because during the build phases, all of the IDE'...

Re: Embedding the PC Name in an app
My bad explanation.
No need to have the function static.
It simply MUST be something outside the code at run time so that it reflects the name or ID of the PC on which that specific version of the app is compiled and linked

Embedding the PC Name in an app
Working on a LAN & using Git, some of my utilities might get compiled on any one PC, which is OK until I need to find out which PC holds the latest version of a specific utility. What I would like to do is it include the PC name of the PC where the utility is being compiled into the About dialog...

Propgrid issue/difference between Win 10 & 11
When I try to run one of my wxWidgets apps on Win 11, displaying a wxArrayString property dialog simply fails to open. If I run the very same app om Win 10, the dialog opens as expected and displays the several strings. I don't really plan to investigate this further, but want to raise the issue and...

Re: Detect an empty drive root directory
Certainly a potential option.
One of the unstated and only recently recognized 'requirements' was to use as little time as possible to make the function usable in OnUpdateUI.

Re: Detect an empty drive root directory
Thank you; it looks like there is no easy, let alone ready made solution for such a seemingly simple question. Even with Linux, I am concerned because they seem to love that 'period' and all those files (and directories) which start with a '.' :-) Since OSX is a *nix derivative ( as it seems is true...

Detect an empty drive root directory
Running on Win 10+, using wxWidgets 3.1.4 &3.2.1, I am trying to determine whether a directory 'is empty', starting with a drive's root. All my searching has not come up with a simple, reliable, much less portable way to check if the specified directory is 'empty' of user files. For directories ...

Re: wxSqlite3 & secondary thread
Perfect.
Not needing anything extra in the main GUI thread is a big bonus, since the secondary thread will need to be run very infrequently and that extra code in the main app would be eating up CPU cycles all the time.
