wxIMPLEMENT_APP macro error

Post by tophat17 »

Hello.

I am trying to get wxWidgets set up in Visual Studio 2019, as shown in javidx9's video "Cross Platform Graphical User Interfaces in C++". I followed his instructions exactly and was left with one compilation error that reads " 'static_cast': cannot convert from 'wxAppConsole*' to 'cApp*'"

I'm not sure what to do or how to solve this error. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

My "cApp.cpp" is shown below:

Code: Select all

#include "cApp.h"

wxIMPLEMENT_APP(cApp);

cApp::cApp()
{

}
cApp::~cApp()
{

}
bool cApp::OnInit()
{
	m_frame1 = new cMain();
	m_frame1->Show();

	return true;
}

Please show the content of "cApp.h"

And you should not override the constructor.

In general, i think it's easier to just start with the "minimal" sample that comes with wxWidgets.
Use the source, Luke!

Hi,
In addition - it is much easier to follow OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION, and not something you find on the web.

Thank you.
