Toggle Button

[SteveP]

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but I don't see a toggle button option on the frame editor, and I don't see anything about wxDevCPP not implementing that.

Is the Toggle Button not implemented in wxDevCPP? If not, I'm sure it can be created in the traditional manner, correct? Will there be one implemented in a future version?

If I missed a post or a mention in the tutorial about this, I'd be glad to know.

No. No toggle button, but you can implement it in the standard way. Just make sure you add it outside of any comment blocks that say ////GUI Items Creation Start and ////GUI Items Creation End. Otherwise, your code will get overwritten when you update the form designer.

Eventually a ToggleButton will be added. Probably something like #33 of a list of 3300

Very good, that will work fine. Thank you very much!

You can also add a wxButton to your form, add an OnClick event so you have a function prototype to play with, then change the BaseClass to wxToggleButton, and then add your own event for the button (between the

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(Untitled1Dlg,wxDialog)
	////Manual Code Start
	////Manual Code End

tags so it looks something like

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(Untitled1Dlg,wxDialog)
	////Manual Code Start
EVT_TOGGLEBUTTON(ID_WXBUTTON2,Untitled1Dlg::WxButton2Click)
	////Manual Code End

Then in the provided function protoptype, add your code.

NinjaNL,

Thank you very much for the demonstration on how to change a regular button to a toggle button.

It tells me that wxToggleButton is undeclared. Do I need to update any of the header files or anything like this?

No, just add the header wx/tglbtn.h to your form.h file

Code: Select all

#include <wx/tglbtn.h>

Then it should compile fine.

Thank you very much! How silly of me to forget that!

#include <wx/tglbtn.h>

Remember to use the code tag - putting less than and greater than signs messes up the current line .

NinjaNL,

No reason to be embarassed, it worked fine & I knew what you meant. Either way, you're still an expert . Heck, that tutorial alone is an awesome accomplishment.
