How to open new frame from button

[doublemax]

According to the chart wxFormBuilder doesn't support wxSimplebook either. I can't think of any comfortable and easy solution when using a GUI editor.

I would create all individual panels and put them all into a vertical wxBoxSizer. Then write some custom code that hides/shows only the panel you want to be visible at the time (which is basically what wxSimplebook does internally).

I was trying to compile the notebook example by using CodeBlocks on Ubuntu.
I imported the project into CodeBlocks by using the import utility and by selecting the visual studio project file.
Everything loaded correctly, but when I try to build the project, I get this error:

I tried to search on google for the first error, but everything is related to Windows.
Does it mean that I cannot build this example on Ubuntu/CodeBlocks?

I think that it would be good for me to study the "notebook" working example.

Building the samples with CodeBlocks (or any IDE) is not that simple. If you just want to run and check a sample, build it from the command line.

[marcusbarnet]

I'm able to correctly compile the sample by using line commands, but I still get the errors when I try to compile it by using Codeblocks.

In the build options, I have: "`wx-config --cflags`" and "`wx-config --libs std,aui`" for the linker.

[doublemax]

I don't use Linux, but most likely the include path for wx/setup.h is missing. For a wxWidgets project two include paths are needed. One is configuration specific, that must be the first one, because wx/setup.h is included from there.

e.g. if you build wxWidgets in <wxdir>/build-debug/, there will be a custom copy of setup.h in
<wxdir>/build-debug/lib/wx/include/<platform>/wx/

The second one is the generic <wxdir>/include/

Maybe this can help, even if it's written for Windows:
