WxWidgets App with multiples windows

Post by steph291 »

Hi everyone,
I'm new to C++ and RAD tools (wxSmith within CodeBlocks)

So far it's working and fun BUT today is scratchingHead day...

I have a main window that call another window.

On event (a double click)
do your stuff and catch another event in the main window
which is OnTreeCtrl1ItemActivated(wxTreeEvent& event)
a treectrl widget...

But when the second window occur, I cannot access
variables from the first part (wxString test1 or test2)

The reason is not public?, Global?

code following :

Code: Select all

void test12052019Frame::OnButton1Click(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString test1 = "";
    wxString test2 = "";

    test1 = TextCtrl1->GetValue();
    test2 = TextCtrl2->GetValue();

    // compare/parse userid/password
    // Access ERP system and get credential schema
    // build the treeview

    if(test1 == "titou" && test2 == "123123"){
    // todo auth. against Mysql
        wxMessageBox("You're in !!\n");
        TreeCtrl1->Show();
        TreeCtrl1->ExpandAll();
    }else
        wxMessageBox("You're out !!\nWrong userid/password");
}

void test12052019Frame::OnTreeCtrl1ItemActivated(wxTreeEvent& event)
{
    //TreeCtrl1 is my tree
    //when I click on any option of my tree
    //it activates a wxMessageBox with the label
    //of the option selected...
    //just let go your imagination :)

    NewFrameActivities *mynewwindow = new NewFrameActivities(this);

    wxString thelabel;
    wxTreeItemId test3;

    test3 = TreeCtrl1->GetSelection();
    thelabel = TreeCtrl1->GetItemText(test3);

    wxMessageBox(thelabel);

    mynewwindow->SetLabel(thelabel);

//    mynewwindow->StaticBox1->SetLabel(); // I would like to SetLabel to variable in the
//    first module/event like : test1, the name of the user

    mynewwindow->TextCtrl1->ChangeValue("thetest\nsetvalue\n");
    mynewwindow->Show(TRUE);


}

Is the value held in test3 valid? You should always get a valid tree item id using event.GetItem().

test1 and test2 are local variables in the method "OnButton1Click", you can't access them from anywhere else. You could turn them into member variables of "test12052019Frame", but i would just use TextCtrl1->GetValue() again.
Use the source, Luke!
