Subversion Server?

Hey, I'm trying to update my wxWidgets subversion checkout from several months ago but it doesn't work. The error message I get is the same as this one for trying to check out a new copy: svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_9 svn: Server sent unexpected return valu...

wxXmlResource support for wxAui classes?

Hello, I'm relying heavily on XRC resource files to define my GUI. I now need support for wxAuiToolbars. However, wxXmlResource does not seem to offer a loader for that class. The documentation for adding custom loaders to wxXmlResource says "coming soon". What can I do? Subclassing in XRC...

Thanks DoubleMax!

Exactly what I was looking for - works like a charme - you have spared me tons of pain. How can I give you one of these wxAward thingies?

cheers,

wxScreenDc overlay

Hi, I'd like to implement a mouse scrolling mode like FireFox has it: if you press the middle mouse button you'll get a scroll anchor icon and scroll based on mouse cursor distance from that icon. My question is how to best go about drawing that icon? The problem is that it is not confined to an ind...

Amen brother. I'm using wxWidgets for paid consulting work and thus have a limited amount of time I can spend on improving the library instead of the actual projects I'm working on. As a tentative test for how the patch system works I committed a small patch to trac which took 4 months to be accepte...

Why aren't these patches part of the official trunk? Any plans on implementing layout persistence for AuiNotebooks? How about ripping notebook pages out and making them their own AuiPanels (I'm very interested in this feature in order to tear notebook pages off and move them onto another monitor, so...

WindowsXP, wxWidgets 2.8.7. Screenshots for blinking scrollbars? Tough one ;-) I think I already know the reason - I just don't know how to avoid it. If you insert wxScrollbars on your dialog they'll be part of the standard tab traversal sequence. If you then select the scrollbar it'll start flashin...

wxAuiNotebook separate pages into wxAuiPanes?

I am using wxAuiNotebook to manage several dockable pages. I need to be able to "rip" a page out of the notebook into a standalone Aui panel which can then be moved to another monitor (i.e. outside my main frame). This does not seem to be possible. I have found several patches and a discus...

While digging into the problem a bit more I found this function in Xmlres.cpp: static int XRCID_Lookup(const wxChar *str_id, int value_if_not_found = wxID_NONE) { int index = 0; for (const wxChar *c = str_id; *c != wxT('\0'); c++) index += (int)*c; index %= XRCID_TABLE_SIZE; [...] The loop in there ...

XRCID and id range

Hi, I'm using XRC resource files to define my GUI and the XRCID macro to turn resource string identifiers into integer ids. Now I need to add id ranges for dynamically created menu entries. How can I make sure my ranges won't collide with the XRCIDs? As far as I understand it, XRCID generates a hash...

Hello, Since my application has grown to a significant size it has become difficult to manage all registered accelerator key combinations - especially considering multiple languages and the fact that key combinations are different for some locales. So my question is: Is there a way to retrieve all r...

conditionally handle wxAcceleratorTable events?

I'm trying to catch arrow key presses globally and use them for navigation in my main frame. I have already figured out that I cannot use the normal char key press events for this and have thus reverted to wxAcceleratorTable. This works. However, I am now swallowing _all_ arrow key presses, even tho...

Synchronizing MenuBar and ToolBar

Lets say I have a Radiobutton or Checkbutton range on my menubar which I want mirrored on the toolbar so that changes on either reflect on the other. Is there an automated way to tie these two together?

cheers,
