When I am triing to use wxGetApp() in my application, for example in the constructor of MyFrame, which is the frame class, I am geting this error mesage:

error: 'wxGetApp' was not declared in this scope

You need to use the DECLARE_APP(YourAppName) where ever you want to use the wxGetApp macro.

Note that if you only need to access the base methods and not methods of the derived class, you can use the global wxTheApp pointer.

Thanks a lot, this is the problem with code snipets from the net, some information was mising there, but now I know.

Which sample? I was tallking about code snipet not related to samples.

Hi,
Usually people start with minimal sample.
But in general - if you know what you are looking for, you go to the documentation first, then the sample, and only then go to search the web (Google).

That should be the standard course of actions for every issue related to wxWidgets.

Thank you.

I agree about documentation, but samples are not of relly use for people with low wxWidgets knowledge. For simple things documentation is enough and for complicated things the samples are to complicated, that internationalization sample is the best example.
