Print variable on message box

[Ago]

Hello

I am a complete newbie in wxWidget and c++ and i am trying to create my first GUI application. I would like to know if it is possible to print the value of a variable (double, int) on a wxMessageBox and if yes how? And something else if for example i try to use a function like wxMessageBox and i want to enter the first and the third parameter of the function how can i omit the second? ex. I want to show a message, i don't want a caption and i want to show some buttons.
Thank you

Heres an example:

Code: Select all

int myVar = 15;
wxString msg = wxString::Format(wxT("my value is %d"), myVar);
wxMessageBox(msg, wxT("a message"), wxOK | wxCENTRE | xICON_ERROR, this);

with wxString::Format() you can display almost anyting as a string, using the correct format specifyer.

as for ommiting arguments, well, you cant precisely "ommit" them, but you can write their default values.

Unfortunately is not working
It gives me this error and hangs up during execution.

main.cpp:86: warning: cannot pass objects of non-POD type `class wxString' through `...'; call will abort at runtime

I have three double variables one for storing the result of a formula. I want to find the result store it inside the variable convert it to wxString or an array and then print it on a messageBox

I assume you're using gcc to compile your application since I've seen that warning before. Try changing the call to this.

Code: Select all

wxMessageBox(msg.mb_str(), wxT("a message"), wxOK | wxCENTRE | xICON_ERROR, this);

For double you need %f instead of %d, and the variable itself.
You cannot use selfdefined types in Format.

another similar problem

Code: Select all

wxString msg = wxString::Format( wxT(" User is '%s' "), wxE_UserName->GetValue() );

because Format is defined with variable arguments

Code: Select all

static wxString Format(const wxChar *format, ...);

... can only be replaced by a non-POD type variable ie char* you must use .c_str() on all other wxString variables other than the first (think thats right)?

Code: Select all

wxString msg = wxString::Format( wxT(" User is '%s' "), wxE_UserName->GetValue().c_str() );

this works for me
