wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Are you building the library using the Xcode project files, or using the command line configure/make? If the latter, what are the configure options you're using? What are the first few errors?

This could easily be a bug that should be reported to the issue tracker.

2.8 never supported OSX 10.10 (I'm not even sure it officially supported 10.9 either for that matter), so you're likely out of luck there. However, it should also be possible to build wxWidgets 2.8 with older OSX SDKs that should be compatible with 10.10 (see --with-macosx-sdk and the --with-macosx-...

What you need to know is: I want to use completely different GUI style, and not the Windows one, Whole UI is based on the external PNG images Pretty much the most important goal of wxWidgets is to offer native user interface components in a cross-platform manner, and these two requirements are enti...

You could turn off WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_3_0, WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8, or WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 if you're using 2.8 (hopefully not if you're attempting to use this new of a compiler though). From configure, you can turn those off using --disable-compat30, --disable-compat28, or --disable-compat26. w...

So how do i fix the intellisense issues? Turn Intellisense off? Heh. Really though, it depends on how you've configured your build. Intellisense isn't always as smart as it claims to be, and there's just some things it can't detect like some of the compile-time build configuration options wxWidgets...

Probably worth noting that a "prefix" on Unix machines actually has some meaning since those operating systems actually define specific locations for certain types of application files (using the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard). That isn't the case on Windows, so doing the same really doesn...

I seem to recall that all VS project files also use a common environment variable for configuring build locations. In the latest development version of wxWidgets, this is more easily managed by copying wx_setup.props to wx_local.props, and making changes there: http://wxwidgets.blogspot.com/2014/08/...

Well, it's worth noting that one reason it's bigger is because the Windows SDK comes pre-packaged with VC9 Express, while the older versions required downloading and installing it separately. Either case, it's obviously required for wxWidgets. Besides, considering how cheap disk space is these days,...

Probably worth noting that without subclassing controls, panels, windows, or other various components, the biggest drawback is the lack of static event tables. If you are a procedural programmer though, you probably would rather use dynamic event tables anyway. This works in 2.8 and older using Conn...

Am I able to create a GUI application in wxWidgets without subclassing wxFrame/wxApp etc? This seems like a very restrictive, verbose, and annoying structure, but I can't find any resources that don't do it. wxWidgets is really designed as an object oriented library. At the least, you'll need to su...

That's unfortunate since I know VC6 wasn't officially dropped until 3.1:

Which compiler version? You need at least VS2005 (VC 8). Support for VS2003 (VC 7.1) was dropped in wx 3.0. This is incorrect. VC6 support wasn't dropped until 3.1+. Also, VC7 is still supported in 3.1+ even when VC6 support was dropped. Of course, I'd still recommend that Joelito upgrade to at lea...

It's a pretty rare request since it very likely makes for a frustrating UI for users for mostly no benefit. I'm actually kind of surprised to even see that combination of style flags being mentioned in the manual. I'm not sure if what you have in mind is actually possible, but you might be able to d...

But, when wxUSE_STL is OFF (default setting), it's not clear for me if wxWidgets still relay on underlying STL or not. The library doesn't rely on STL if wxUSE_STL is off, however, it will still provide the compatibility API which is just a copy of STL API against the wxWidgets containers, without ...
