SetVirtualSizeHints (deprecated) and FitInside

[Digital Larry]

I'm working with an old open source package using wxWidgets. The first time I got everything set up and compiling I didn't have this problem, but I had to wipe everything out and start over and this time I got a compile error on SetVirtualSIzeHints, e.g.

virtual void SetVirtualSizeHints( int minW, int minH)

which is how it's used in the code.

One error message I got (or was it an article I read) suggested I use FitInside instead, but when I tried that, it told me there was no FitInside(int, int). I reconfigured wxWindows to add --enable-compat28 and I am not getting the error any more, just the deprecation warning. I figure while I am working on the code if there are small things like this I can clean up I might try them, but this one is a dead end, at least in my state of ignorance.

I'm guessing that I need to find the wxWindow whose size I was trying to use, or make a fake one or something.

Here's the original code in my project that calls this:

https://github.com/HolyCityAudio/sooper ... ck_box.cpp

Line 92:

Code: Select all

    int w,h;
    GetTextExtent(_label_str, &w, &h);
    SetVirtualSizeHints (6 + _boxsize + w, max(_boxsize, h));
    SetVirtualSize (6 + _boxsize + w, max(_boxsize, h));

Code: Select all

#if WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8
    // these are useless and do nothing since wxWidgets 2.9
    wxDEPRECATED( virtual void SetVirtualSizeHints( int minW, int minH,
                                      int maxW = wxDefaultCoord, int maxH = wxDefaultCoord ) );
    wxDEPRECATED( void SetVirtualSizeHints( const wxSize& minSize,
                                            const wxSize& maxSize=wxDefaultSize) );
#endif // WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8

What happens if you just comment the line out?

Thanks for your response. I'm not ignoring you, but I just wanted to get past this issue so I recompiled wxWidgets with the flag to enable 2.8 compatibility. I now get a deprecation warning but not a compile error. wxWidgets takes about 4 hours to compile on the Raspberry Pi which is one reason I'm just going with what works today. I do greatly appreciate your help though, I'm not sure I would have found the issue without it.
