Adding TextCtrl to Every New Page WxNotebook

Post by gillp28 »

I am trying to add the text ctrl to every new page that gets added. When the button is pressed.

Code: Select all

const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_ADDNODE = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_DeleteNode = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_EditNode = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_ChoiceBox = wxNewId(); 
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_Notes = wxNewId(); 
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_AddPage = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_DeletePage = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_BOLD = wxNewId(); 
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_ITALIC = wxNewId(); 
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_FORMAT_ALIGN_LEFT = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_FORMAT_ALIGN_RIGHT = wxNewId();
const long wxTreeCtrlFrame::ID_FORMAT_ALIGN_CENTRE = wxNewId();

Code: Select all

wxBoxSizer* sizer;
You set it as sizer for the first notebook page and add a text control to it. This is ok.

Code: Select all

page->SetSizer(sizer);
But then you use the same sizer for other notebook pages. This doesn't work.

It seems like you want that one text control to appear on all notebook pages without duplicating it. This is not possible.
You can either create a new text control for each page or you move the text control outside the notebook.
Use the source, Luke!

Re: Adding TextCtrl to Every New Page WxNotebook

I have added this recently and it works to create a new text ctrl. But i am unable to access the textctrl of the new page created. So I tried to add a vector list of RichTextCtrl but it gives me errors every time I try to append to it.


Code: Select all

std::vector<wxRichTextCtrl> textCtrlList; 

void wxTreeCtrlFrame::CreatePage(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
	size_t count = notes->GetPageCount() + 1;
	wxNotebookPage* page = new wxNotebookPage(notes, -1); 
	wxRichTextCtrl* newTextCtrl = new wxRichTextCtrl(page, wxID_ANY, ("Add Note"), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxVSCROLL | wxHSCROLL | wxNO_BORDER | wxWANTS_CHARS, wxDefaultValidator);
	textCtrlList.push_back(newTextCtrl); // error line
	wxBoxSizer* newSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	newSizer->Add(newTextCtrl, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 2);
	page->SetSizer(newSizer); 
	notes->AddPage(page, L"Note " + std::to_string(count));
	notes->ChangeSelection(count-1); 
}

textCtrlList.push_back(newTextCtrl); // error line
What kind of error, at compile time or run time. How is textCtrlList declared?

attempting to reference a deleted function
'wxRichTextCtrl::wxRichTextCtrl(const wxRichTextCtrl &)': function was implicitly deleted because a base class invokes a deleted or inaccessible function 'wxControl::wxControl(const wxControl &)

that's just by adding the one line other than that it works fine. I declared it at the top of the program textCtrlList.

What type is textCtrlList?

If should work if it's defined like this:

Code: Select all

std::vector<wxRichTextCtrl *> textCtrlList;
Use the source, Luke!
