wxTableCtrl

Post by lhksoft »

Saw something that might be interesting : wxTableCtrl, though, where is it ?
I can't find anything about it at SourceForge. Event in Google I cannot find it.

Anybody an idea ?

This is its site : http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/showcomp. ... xTableCtrl

I think most of the items from wxCode were not updated and the project was abandoned a few years ago.

If abandoned, is there still some sourcecode from available? How can I find it when I press the download-button.
I'm coding with sqlite, maybe I can continue the project, or maybe I can make someting with it.

You can get it here https://sourceforge.net/p/wxcode/code/H ... tablectrl/ (either check out the repo or press Download Snapshot).

But I would not get my hopes up, I am not sure what are you expecting it to have over e.g. wxGrid...

It is also at version 0.0.1 and has not been touched since 2008 which means it likely won't even build out of the box.

I look into it as soon I've got some time.
I saw the code, I think it needs a bit reprogramming, make it a bit more efficiently. I saw there was a source file of over 186MB - that's big.

Nevermind out of the box, I'm not such a wx-user.
I'll check te code and as soon I understand how things are done, mostlikely I make something similar more my own style.

As far as I understand, the goal of wxTableCtrl is to show a complete table (or query), one record per row. Like MS-Access does. I'll try to code somthing similar with this code. But, as soon as I have more time. Currently still occupied with my own project, a MovieCatalog. Finetuning this code, while some things goes nice in MSW isn't done so great in GTK (it's a program, which code I developped in Windows, but eventually I want to compile the code in GTK and keep using it in linux).

wxTableCtr zipped code is about 112 kB, unpacked about 500 kB?

I have zero knowledge of the component. If I had to write something like the Table Design View in MS Access, I would start with a wxGrid.

Actually I think wxTableCtrl is like viewing/browsing a table. Looks simple but needs a lot of code to achieve this.
