Hello everybody,
I'm relatively new on C::B + wxsmith. I had no issues building and installing C::B+WX in Windows. After some simple code testings I checked everything compile and run nicely. I plan to develop a piece of software for which mediaCtrl is required.
But mediaCtrl icon is not among all available widgets of wxsmith. I'm not sure whether this is a C::B related problem or I missed something when I built wxwidgets.
I assume I'm using best stable versions: C::B 16.01 and WX 3.0.3 (also tried 3.1.0)
This is the command I used to build WX:
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1 USE_OPENGL=1 VENDOR=cb CXXFLAGS="-fno-keep-inline-dllexport"
I also include an image showing all available WX icons in my installation. I can't see mediaCtrl's clapperboard icon anywhere.
I'll be grateful if you can help me. THANK YOU!

Re: C::B on Windows. Do you have mediaCtrl icon into wxSmith?
I don't see the media control in wxSmith too (my C::B is a version of 2016 I patched for some personal, not generic, needs, but chance wxSmith didn't change since this time), but it has nothing to do with the wxWidgets capability. A GUI builder is just an helper tool and is not necessarily exhaustive. In wxSmith, when you want to use a control class that is not directly present in its stock, you simply add a custom control (here, "custom" meaning "unknown by wxSmith, even if known by wxWidgets") using the icon I show you below:

Eranon, thank you for your promptly reply. I'm just looking for information based on your advice.
My question was derived from a page where I read about a patch to make mediaCtrl icon to showup (you can actually see a clapperboard icon) but it seems to be quite old by now:
http://wxsmithaddons.sourceforge.net/patches.html
I'll work on your insight.
Thank you!

Hmmm, the link at top of the page is dead, the referenced CodeBlocks forum's thread was in 2010, I'm afraid wxSmith is "definitively" abandoned. Also, I'm a little puzzled about this note I read over there:WXWdan wrote:My question was derived from a page where I read about a patch to make mediaCtrl icon to showup (you can actually see a clapperboard icon) but it seems to be quite old by now:

How it can be available and omitted at the same time... I guess it was avail, then the last sentence has been added afterward.This patch has now been partially merged with trunk and is available from Code::Blocks SVN and in nightly builds. wxMediaCtrl is causing problems under Linux and has been omitted until a fix can be found.
However, I used wxSmith for my previous project (still active) and I was happy, but because of this uncertainty about the future (not maintained), I switched to wxGlade for my current project and (despite some bugs - but nothing fatal) it looks good to me; and it works for both C ++ and Python (ie wxPython).

Eranon, I'll take all you wrote into account... I'll seek for info about WxGlade.
Thank you!.
Thank you!.

wxSmith is not really abandoned; but, wxsmithaddons.sourceforge.net seems to be abandoned.
wxSmith does seems to be in maintenance only support by the Code::Blocks team.
This is because the wxSmith plugin has no person dedicated to support the plugin.
