CodeLite and wxCrafter

[philjynx]

Can this be fixed?
The code shows what I'm trying to do and (for those that understand) why I can't.

As mentioned in the other thread, the current Mint is based on ubuntu xenial, not artful.

My brother in law is researching genealogy, I'll have to get him to see if idiocy runs in my family. Thanks.

Well, I did this (again!):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository -r 'deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.4/ubuntu/ artful universe'

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.4/ubuntu/ xenial universe'

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install codelite 

that worked fine
then

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install wxcrafter

What next?

then
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.4/ubuntu/ xenial universe'

Perhaps a copy/paste error, but those are the lines for wx3.0.4, not for CodeLite/wxCrafter.

If that's not relevant, I don't know what could be wrong. The file does exist in the repo.
If all else fails, you can download it using the direct link: https://repos.codelite.org/wxCrafter-2. ... _amd64.deb and install it using dpkg.

It was a faithfully reproduced copy/paste error, in that it accurately reflected what I had wrongly done by copy pasting into terminal.
Here is the contents of my additional-repositories.list in sources.list.d

Having ensured that those entries are there, and that they appear to be correct, I tried again.
Still 'Unable to locate package wxcrafter'.


When I look at 'Manage Plugins' in Codelite, it has nothing in the left hand pane and only one item in the right hand pane 'wxHtmlWindow control!'.
Check, and check all are greyed out.
There was a message saying Codelite had many plugins by default, so this looks a bit odd.

[DavidHart]

Did you apt clean too?

Which version of CodeLite have you actually installed (see the 'About' dialog)? The official debian/ubuntu one has the plugins in a separate package...

[philjynx]

help about says it is v9.1.0.

That's the official Mint package, not CodeLite 12.0. So you haven't succeeded in getting apt to see the CodeLite repo, which explains the wxCrafter issue too.

Did you apt clean followed by apt update?

One good thing about an apt frontend like synaptic is you can easily see what's available; and what isn't.

I did, and redid stuff and it is now v12.
Now codelite has an impressive long list of plugins to run, including wxcrafter - which also runs.
One thing, I imported my wxformbuilder project, but can only see one of it's three forms, is that because it has not all imported or because I haven't figured out how to navigate in wxcrafter?

Possibly the latter. You probably have 3 *.wxcp files, one for each form. wxCrafter can only display one of them at a time. You may see the others listed in the combobox at the top of the Workspace View. Otherwise you can open a particular one by double-clicking it in CodeLite.

[philjynx]

The treeview for wxCrafter wasn't displayed, when I double clicked wxcrafter in top left pane, a tab opened for it and was selected and the three items then could be seen in the tree view.
My font (I've mentioned the large font I wanted, I think?) Works here (I don't intend to try and compile and link as it is a bit late!) the odd thing is, I cannot find any code in the generated cpp or h for this? How's the compiler and linker going to know about it?

[DavidHart]

Have you clicked the Generate Code button yet? If so, that code should replicate what you see displayed in wxCrafter. If not, you've found a wxCrafter bug. The easiest way to be sure what's going on is to build and run your program.

BTW, just as for wxFB, the best way to use wxCrafter is to think of the generated classes as 'base' classes (I recommend actually calling them FooBase rther than Foo). You then derive your real Foo class from FooBase. That means you can override and add to the generated features without having your changes overwritten each time you click the Generate Code button. When you create a new Form with wxCrafter you are nudged in that direction. I can't remember if that also happens when you import; maybe it depends on the wxFB project.

[philjynx]

I think I might have misled you. I didn't mean there was no code at all, wxC generated the code and the inherited classes, no problem, what I couldn't see within that code, was anything that seemed to relate to my font size.

[philjynx]

Here're the sections of the two generated files that relate to that big font frame.
