Ever since I started using Turbo C++, I found that it is not as easy as wx-DevC++ to get started with wxWidgets. I have created a CodePak (equivalent to devpak) that facilitate the usage of pre-built library. I have uploaded the wxWidgets codepak to http://codepaks.sourceforge.net/gui.htm The Instal...

I'm able to use the XPM variable in the SetIcon. You cannot pass a char* as param (which will be your file name) rather you need to pass char** (which is the type of the XPM variable name). SetIcon(Self_testDlg_XPM); For fixing your problem, try to open the XPM in notepad and find the variable name ...

Hi Francesco, I wonder if you are interested in integrating wxTreeListCtrl directly into wxWidgets itself... Yes, I would luv to help integrating it. Couple of things I want to mention before contributing to this one (and want to know your opinion). 1)When working with the wxTreeListCtrl, I went thr...

The problem is we dont supply the wxWidgets source along with the distribution. The Source might contain extra few MB that we dont to want to shove it to the user. The Library build process is pretty simple; Tony and Mal has created a bat file for automating build. Have a look at the DevPak creation...

I'm glad that the snippets are helpful. I'm really looking forward to check the code in the CVS.

I use Visual Assist from http://www.wholetomato.com/ it work pretty well for wx 2.8 with VC++ 6, 2003 and 2005. Check out their demo.

It seems I have used the cmdline options properly but the debug info created by the DMC is not recognized by the latest winDBG. The windbg from 1996 (given along with DMD compiler pack) is working.

Why not add a function in DatabaseLayer class like this : /// Run a select query to find only one result virtual wxString RunQueryOneResult(const wxString& strQuery, int nField) = 0; It's useful if the resultset contains only one value as a result. I have added some dblayer specific functions t...

To see the bug you should make a change in the gui builder and then save (so Dev-Cpp regenerate the code) ! It seems you have accidentally changed the base class name to wxStatixBoxSizer . For fixing this problem, Select the Sizer WxStaticBoxSizer1 and then change the base class name back to wxStat...

You can type cast the wxValidator* to wxTextValidator of the WxEdit1 object (when using the WxEdit1->GetValidator() function). Alternatively you can create a wxTextValidator object and the assign it to the WxEdit1 using the SetValidator function. So the code may look like ////GUI Items Creation End ...

Currently you cannot assign a custom validator object, but you are set the Include/Exclude list to the validator assigned to the textCtrl. Use the GetValidator() of the wxTextCtrl class to the get the Validator Obj and then set the exclude/include list.

Hi Jorg, Even though wxCRP is forgotten by others, I was one of its early users and I found that to be very helpful. Since I'm using a off the shelve faq program I'm not sure whether I can add it any time soon. I hope I can update the faq programs by adding more features (related with the Faq/snippe...

Another problem is that there is no debugger support for it. By theory we should be able to use the debugger we have created for VC++ to debug DMC executables but the debug format included in DMC is not recognized by the latest VC++ debugger. Until DMC upgrades to the latest debug information format...
