Microsoft extension:_tmain and wx. Topic is solved

[tuk1]

_tmain is a windows macro/extension or the ms version of the standard main() function found in c++.

The sample function from the link above and shown below... calls the code:

Code: Select all

void _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[])
{
    if(argc != 2)
    {
        _tprintf(TEXT("Usage: %s <dir>\n"), argv[0]);
        return;
    }

    WatchDirectory(argv[1]); <<<<---calls the code
}

How can I implement this _tmain function in my wx code which doesn't appear to have a main function as such?

Hi,
Why do you want such function?
Is standard wx classes not enough?

Also take a look at the console sample and fswatcher sample.

Thank you.

Need an efficient way of knowing when a file has changed.
Current code makes frequent polls of the file to detect changes, which isn't so efficient.
Didn't think to look at wx lib for a solution as I'm still coming to terms with the fact that wx is a bit more than just a UI lib.

Need a few days to play with the code in the fswatcher sample which does look promising.

Hi,
Yes, everything that is available in the library has it own sample - you just need to know which feature and which sample.

Come back here if you have more questions.

Thank you.
