Hi! Check hworld.cpp line 19 etc. for strings like "text" and use the _() or _T() macro on the like _("Text"). Normally this comes from a unicode related problem wher char arrays could either be arrays of char or wchar. Using these macros will provide the correct type for non-uni...

Hi! Just a thought: Try it with using wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for the stuff in your wxNotebook and pass a pointer to your frame where you want to handle the events. That way your frame will function as the event handler and you should be able to access its members, while with using Connect you ...

Hi! Can I use GDI animation? Sure you can :D Will it be smooth and fast enough - given that I am going to store the game window in a bitmap and blt it to screen? Check the "forty" demo. It's a bit old but maybe this gives you an idea of how to do things (WXDIR\demos\forty). It's a card gam...

Hi!

does the devpak version have any bugs? as in it wont compile some valid programs?

Yes! I made it so that nobody would be ever able to comile anything
Seriously: Nope, it seems to work. The devpack is used in wxDev-C++ if you want to give it a try.

Hi! How does wine work for development? If you use devcpp in wine under linux, can you distribute those binaries to end users on linux? I have heard of wine but not explored it. It works for testing and using tools that are just not there... But since wine is a dynamic recompiler (meaning things get...

Hi!
Not sure about that but try wxDC::SetHDC().
Most wxWidget classes have not documented methods you can use on specific platforms. If you want a portable solution: Check out wxGLCanvas.

Hi!

Dev cpp only works on windows tho doesnt it??

Yes, it does.

And boys: Even if I don't have the gift of foresight -> Please don't start a war now

Hi!
For complete out-of-the-box compilation and an included visual GUI interface editor try wxDev-C++ http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/.

Hi!
Since Dev-C++ uses mingw maybe try my site http://www.upcase.de. Got a little tut on compiling the lib there and some devpaks for quick installation.

Hi!
Have you used DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE() in you classes header file?

Hi! But there is some problems with the image. The program have 20 pages. Each page is like one wxNotebook. The problem that I am facing now is that the "image" of 4-5 pages superimposed with each other. Could you please be a little bit more specific in what you mean with "image"...

Hi! Which distribution is best for such a (by todays standards) modest system? Good question... :D I'm using Fedora Core 2 here and it works just fine (even in Virtual PC after some hacking). Gentoo seems to be very popular, too. I am wrestling with the menu construction at the moment, but even with...

Hi! For Windows I am currently using wx-DevCpp http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ by Guru Kathiresan. I am currently beta testing version 6.4 and this thing rocks. Glad to hear that since Guru and I had some problems getting it work with 2.5.3 :D I am thinking about doing a little cross platform compili...

Hi!
Be sure to read install.txt for both platforms. Compile the lib -> compile the samples. If everything went well you'll be able to compile a basic application on Linux with

g++ `wx-config --cxxflags --libs` MyWxApp.cpp -o MyWxTestApp

On Windows it depends on your compiler.

Hi!
Check WXDIR\docs\msw\install.txt. The project file for 2.5.3 is in WXDIR\build\msw\
