wxSplitterWindow, image between panels

Post by mrdebug »

Is there a way to show the graphic behaviour between panels? Now in my software wxSplitterWindow works but does not appear so a user can't know that it there is.

Are you saying that the actual sash is invisible, so the user don't know there is one?

Which platform and wxWidgets version are you using?
What do you see in the "splitter" sample that comes with wxWidgets?
Use the source, Luke!

m_splitter1->SetSashInvisible(false); does not seem to have any effect.
The sash does not appear in Windows 10 and Debian 9

I just checked Windows 10 and indeed the sash is not clearly visible, it's mainly just a gap between the two windows. But i'm not sure that's a problem. I think for most users it will be clear that there might be a sash they can drag and they will see the changing mouse pointer when it's over the sash.

If you really want something more distinctive, you could subclass wxSplitterWindow and implement DrawSash().

Code: Select all

// Draws the sash
virtual void DrawSash(wxDC& dc); 
Use the source, Luke!

Many thanks for your reply. It is not so important.
Are you a wxWidgets official developer?
May I ask you which develop environment are you using?

The proper term here is - core developer. ;-)

Thank you.
