path included by Visual Studio 2019

I installed wxWidgets the recommended way. I created the system variable WXWIN pointing to the wxWidgets folder.

When I right click a project and select "Add" - "Class", and fill in all fields, VS generates the files and in the .h file it generates this line:

Code: Select all

#include "D:\wxWidgets-3.1.2\include\wx\docview.h"

instead of the correct:

Code: Select all

#include "wx\docview.h"

What is wrong?

Hi,
What is the recommended way? There are multiple...
2. What version of MSVC do you use?

I'm using MSVC 2017 Community and for me the "Class Wizard" doesn't work at all. I just add some files to the project.

Thank you.

What is wrong is that MSVS has no idea about wxWidgets classes (how they are implemented for various platforms) and when using the generic add class template (as opposed to an MFC, ATL etc. one) it tries to guess the file where the base class resides. I tried a couple of classes and it always guessed wrong for wxDialog and wxFrame, using a platform-specific header file (GTK, univ...) instead of the proper one.

I assume you just have to live with it and correct the generated include path.

I followed setup instructions from this video:

Anyway, looks like I will have to live with that.

Thanks
