Ok, here is a workaround... I suspect the bug actually lies in the makefile generation but I don't know how to get it to spit out the Makefile so I can examine it... You need to find the old 8.3 compatible windows filename for your path. You can use the following command: DIR /X Take the path where ...

I know this is an older topic but I just installed wxdev on my desktop machine vista (64 bit) and it came up with the following error: [Resource Error] les (x86)\Dev-Cpp\Bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed. I suspect that this error is coming not from the fact that there are spaces in the filename...

I tried to upgrade mingw with the published devpaks and royally screwed up my install. Are there any instructions available for recompiling all the needed libraries? -Michael We've already discussed that with Tony Reina and other developers earlier and I even made DevPaks for the GCC 4.4.x line, but...

I've created a dialog but when it opens the top wxtextctl field is not selected. In fact hitting tab goes thorough them in reverse order. I've googled it and searched this forum but found nothing specific on how to set the tab order of the components. Can anyone let me know how to do it?

Ok so it sounds like these are real bugs. I haven't had the time to reproduce them and some have existed for a long time. On the code completion thing I'm not sure how exactly it happens. Would one of the dump reports be helpful? I'm obviously just using wxdev for software development so I come acro...

I've experienced a large number of bugs in wxDev that should be apparent to everyone but I haven't found reports for them. This leads me to believe it may be my installation. It's been a while since I installed and I don't believe there was anything out of the ordinary. I'm running 7.3.1.3. Copy &am...

They seem to indicate that the menu widget is in fact able to exhibit the proper behaviour so it appears to me that this really is a bug in the wx IDE's code generation.

I thought I'd found a bug in wxDev but I've been told that this is actually part of the widget design. I just want to create a top level dropdown menu and disable the whole thing. This has been a fairly common thing in Windows apps. For me it allows me to disable all the features when the control ha...

Should I enter it somewhere so it gets fixed or is this the correct place?

-Michael

No, that is not the bug. Try to make the File menu itself disabled. Although not useful in the real world for the "file menu" it is very useful on others.

-Michael

If you set a menu item to disabled it will generate the code correctly. Example wxID_MNU_FILE_Mnu_Obj->Append(ID_MNU_FILE_SAVEAS, wxT("Save As"), wxT(""), wxITEM_NORMAL); wxID_MNU_FILE_Mnu_Obj->Enable(ID_MNU_FILE_SAVEAS,false); However if you set a menu itself to be disabled it d...
