I don't think Eranon is entirely clear on this either, so I'll give a shot at explaining it as I understand it. The only difference that changing wxUSE_STL makes is whether or not core wxWidgets classes use STL internally. The STL "compatibility" API is provided regardless of this setting ...

wxControl provides API for handling (and sometimes automatically handling) clipboard operations, and keyboard mnemonics. As a general rule of thumb, think about how data could be copied from the clipboard into your "control". If there's only one single location for it to logically go, and ...

BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP(Dialog, CDialogEx) ON_EVENT(Dialog, ID, 1, Function, ReturnValueOfFunction) END_EVENTSINK_MAP() wxWidgets static event tables are actually modeled after this design, and mostly works the same, but none of this actually has anything to do with threading. Another question is about...

It might help to know what the error is.

Support for managing the Windows 7+ taskbar features is only in the latest development version of wxWidgets (3.1.x+): See: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_task_bar_jump_list.html Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean you can manage it using native code yourself even if you're using wxWidg...

Also, wxVector is compatible with the stl::vector interface, in fact, if wxWidgets is built in STL mode, it's just a typedef for std::vector. So if you have any local code that takes a wxVector, it should take very little to no changes in order to pass it a std::vector instead.

but in one case I need both of them shown at the same time Oh, forget about wxSimplebook then, it doesn't do that. Nothing about your descriptions so far though sound impossible. Usually just takes the appropriate calls to the various Layout() and Fit() methods on the top level window containing th...

Are the two wxStaticBoxSizers contained in another sizer (either vertical or horizontal box sizer, orientation doesn't matter)? Another approach is to use the new wxSimpleBook control, which is mean to change pages like a wxNoteook, but without using tabs at all, and only switching pages internally ...

Starting on Friday, Feb 20th at 11PM UTC, the wxWidgets SVN repository will be switched to read-only mode. Commits will no longer made to the wxWidgets SVN repository at that time, and we will begin making commits directly to the new git repositories instead. The git repositories hosted at GitHub , ...

As far as I've read, this specific wxWidgets feature is still under development, by a single person? Well, it's always "in development", but it's included in both wxWidgets 2.8 and 3.0, and thus is considered "stable", but it's never quite been as solid as most other wxWidgets c...

Proportion controls the size of a sizer item in the direction correlating to the main orientation of the box sizer. In this case, your static box sizer is wxHORIZONTAL, so proportion refers to the horizontal size while the flags (wxEXPAND) controls the vertical size. The proportion you set on the wx...

Right, you have to submit patches to Trac

I would rather look for alternative ways to handle any processing you have in your idle event handler, and moving it to something more reliable, like a timer. Using idle events is rarely the appropriate choice. What are you processing in your idle event handler? If that route doesn't appeal to you, ...

The source code is actually mirrored to GitHub: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix (though patches aren't handled through GitHub)

Of course, you'd have to actually jump on the relevant wxPython mailing lists to get involved. Most wxPython devs aren't regulars on these forums.

WebUpdate was written by Francesco Montorsi, who has historically been highly involved in wxWidgets core development. However, he did mention taking an extended break to work on his PhD just over two years ago. I don't doubt it's still a quality component, but on the other hand, most application upd...
