Extended wxDev-C++ Tutorial: Class Browser Empty

Post by Antineocon »

I am using wxDev-C++ version 2 (appeared to be the latest version when I downloaded it on Wednesday night) on Windows XP 5.1 (SP2). I am working through the tutorial here http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/tutorials ... 94819979eb

I get as far as adding editing a menu bar and the program compiles, runs and displays the menu. However, the class browser is completely empty. Hence I cannot proceed to add event handlers for the menu.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter.

No, I had not seen that. However, I followed the advice that was outlined. The class browser was still empty. I exited, restarted the program, reloaded the project and did a "rebuild all". The class browser is still empty. :?

Thanks,
Peter.

If you move the project out of the c:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp directory, the class browser should work for it.

Basically, the code was exiting the class browser for any project's beneath the installation directory. This has been corrected in SVN. I'm not sure why removing the installation directory from the C++ includes wouldn't work too.

Ah! That must have been it. My project was under the c:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp directory. I recreated the project in a directory that was not and I can now see the classes in the class browser.

Thanks very much for your help,
Peter.

Hi everyone!

This is my first post here (and I'm a noob, too :)). I just wanted to report that this situation (bug?) is still present in wxDev-C++ 7.4.2.569.
Thanks for the provided solutions, BOTH of them worked fine. Maybe put it in a little default text in the Classes browser when it's empty so that anyone can set their preferences accordingly?
