trouble with wxDatePickerCtrl

[cpp]

Hi, i have a wxDatePickerCtrl in a panel, and im handling wxEVT_DATECHANGED, the problem is, whenever the date is changed in the control, i get the event TWICE, so i have to do something like...

Code: Select all

void PanelAgenda::OnPagActualDateChanged( wxDateEvent& event )
{
    static bool done=false;
    if(done)
    {
        // 2nd call, dont handle!!
        done=false;
        return;
    }
    done=true;
    // do something here...
}

this hack solves the problem, but im worried that the problem wont allways occur, and then the user will have to change the date twice for something to happen.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks!

and, what has that to do with wxGrid ? *g*

[cpp]

my mistake, i must have been distracted i meant wxDatePickerCtrl

It would be better to remember the last datepicker value and do that stuff in your if clause only if something has changed

[cpp]

Thanks for your answer, i agree, you solution is better. However, the question remains, is this an actual bug in wxDatePickerCtrl (does this happen to other people too?), or im i doing something wrong?

This happens to me too. Except I get the event 4 times, and the first event has no valid date.

This is a known issue (see bug #1482773), but there isn't a solution for this problem still. You'll need to either not use wxDatePickerCtrl with the wxDP_DROPDOWN style, find another workaround to the problem, or wxWidgets would be more than happy to accept a patch if you can fix it.
